Students who once felt unsure about reading are now engaged and eager to participate. They are making predictions, asking thoughtful questions, and building deeper comprehension skills as we have journeyed through the story as a class.\r\n\r\nBeyond academics, Holes has opened the door for important conversations about friendship, perseverance, justice, and choices. My students are connecting the characters' experiences to their own lives, developing empathy, and strengthening their voices as they share their ideas.\r\n\r\nFor many of my students, having their own copy of a novel is a rare and special experience. Your donation didn't just provide books—it created access, excitement, and a sense of belonging in our learning community.\r\n\r\nThank you for believing in my students and investing in their growth. Your kindness is felt every day in our classroom.","fullyFundedDate":1760673087562,"projectUrl":"project/digging-into-literature-a-class-set-of/9420365/","projectTitle":"Digging Into Literature: a Class Set of Holes","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Lefebvre","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp8223798_orig.jpg?crop=1:1,smart&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1774871850143","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/8223798"},{"teacherId":9206331,"projectId":9436736,"letterContent":"The books were such a welcome addition to our small and now mightier class library.
