These forward-facing bins have completely transformed how our students interact with books. By allowing students to see the covers clearly, rather than only the spines, you've helped make books more inviting and accessible, especially for our youngest readers who aren't yet confident with titles or author names.\r\n\r\nThe impact has been immediate and meaningful. Students are now spending more time browsing independently and with greater enthusiasm. They're discovering books they might have missed before, talking more with each other about their finds, and returning to the library excited for the next visit. The joy and ownership they feel when choosing a book \"all by themselves\" is something truly special to witness. Thank you for helping create a space where curiosity and a love of reading can grow for every child who walks through our library doors.","fullyFundedDate":1723145427120,"projectUrl":"project/library-book-browsing-bins/8564287/","projectTitle":"Library Book Browsing Bins","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Berglin","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp8416378_orig.jpg?crop=3024,3024,x0,y1008&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1649794712671","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/8416378"},{"teacherId":9898096,"projectId":9064997,"letterContent":"Thank you very much for the donation of our new whiteboard learning table.

The Spinning Name Wheel has brought an element of fun to classroom routines, where we have had fun choosing who is going to answer and/or explain their groups thinking! The Lava Laps are helping my students develop critical skills while staying active and engaged, which have helped us with our mixtures and chemical science unit!

The main being the skill of perseverance when things get difficult. Learning an instrument is such a wonderful way to learn patience and how to practice.
