On behalf of our 3rd-grade class, I want to express our heartfelt gratitude for the wonderful new books you have provided. They have already made a significant impact on our classroom and our students.\r\n\r\nThe new books have become an incredible resource for building our students' reading skills. Whether it's learning new vocabulary, exploring exciting stories, or improving their comprehension, these books are engaging tools that cater to a variety of reading levels and interests. Each page turns into an opportunity for growth, and it's been wonderful to see the students take on new challenges with enthusiasm and confidence.\r\n\r\nBeyond the skills they are acquiring, the addition of these books has transformed our classroom into an even more vibrant and inspiring learning environment. The students eagerly gather around the book corner, excited to share what they've read and discuss the stories. This has fostered a greater sense of community and collaboration among them.\r\n\r\nPerhaps the most rewarding part has been witnessing their pure joy and excitement. Their faces light up as they explore new adventures, meet fascinating characters, and discover new ideas. They genuinely love these books, and it's evident in their growing eagerness to read.\r\n\r\nThank you so much for your generosity and for helping our classroom thrive. Your support makes a lasting difference in the lives of our students, and we are deeply grateful for it.","fullyFundedDate":1727462837471,"projectUrl":"project/lets-get-excited/8574299/","projectTitle":"Let's Get Excited!","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Owens","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-7_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9251073"},{"teacherId":8103016,"projectId":8573902,"letterContent":"We have used the technology that we were granted to expand our social emotional learning assemblies. We have had guest speakers come in and we have been able to create better skits to showcase the behaviors that we want to see from students. With the new ability to connect up to four wireless microphones, students and families can hear better and enjoy our events better. \r\n\r\nWe also just put on our whole school Christmas Sing-a-long where we clipped one of our mics to the guitar that our music teacher led the sing-a-long with. This made the experience for the whole school really enjoyable because everyone could participate because they could hear everything. \r\n\r\nThis technology has been amazing for our school to use for so many different purposes and has really allowed students to connect more with our assemblies. Loma Elementary School is now delivering the best message loud and proud to our community of students.
