This devoted time has no doubt not only turned out to be our favorite time of the day, it has turned into the most powerful part of our day as well. Together as a class, we have read 5 chapter books together and we are not done! We have been on a journey through New York with a quirky 4th grade boy, to an island with a Robot named Roz, then to the east coast with a sweet girl named Charlamagne who had only one Wish (for a family), to traveling with a boy named Jack in search of gold! \r\nNow because of your generous donation we are off on an adventure with James and the Giant Peach! The students often call this \"free field trips\" because we leave school as we get sucked into the stories. This daily time has connected us as a classroom family, all while teaching the students invaluable lessons. This time in class is one that I can never waiver on because the students will let me know. \"Can't you read just one more chapter, please?\"~ those are great words to hear!\r\nThank you for your incredible donation to make these reading adventures happen in my 4th grade classroom.","fullyFundedDate":1739366797583,"projectUrl":"project/learning-through-literature/9050763/","projectTitle":"Learning through Literature","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Cline","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/272x272/tp3432995_272x272.jpg?width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1460082471344","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/3432995"},{"teacherId":9727191,"projectId":8735212,"letterContent":"I want to extend my heartfelt gratitude to each of you for your incredible support in donating to our project.

Your contribution is giving my students the opportunity to develop a love for reading that will last a lifetime.\r\n\r\nThanks to your kindness, our classroom is filled with excitement and curiosity as we dive into new stories together.
