Many of my students have already benefited from the materials and are showing improvement in their reading scores. \r\n\r\nThe reading comprehension book has been a great success with all my students as I have been able to track lexile levels and push to see advancement. The students enjoy the simplicity of the one pager stories and the comprehension work is just enough to engage and challenge them. \r\n\r\nThe non-fiction work cards are a great filler tool that I use for early finishers. Many students have expressed that they enjoy them and have even learned a thing or two that they did not know before. \r\n\r\nThe magazine subscription is going to be put to use next semester as a project that each student will do independently. They will each pick an article and then read it and do a deep dive into the topic and then make a presentation to share with the class.","fullyFundedDate":1761936414113,"projectUrl":"project/reading-for-the-future/9826327/","projectTitle":"Reading for the future","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Schneider","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp10311218_orig.jpg?crop=820,820,x630,y790&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1760487571111","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/10311218"},{"teacherId":9224879,"projectId":9909706,"letterContent":"We got the materials from the project yesterday and already have put them into good use.

What started as a simple idea to offer a warm drink has turned into a powerful tool for connection, comfort, and community.\r\n\r\nFor many students, stopping by for a cup of coffee, tea, or hot chocolate has created a welcoming daily routine—a small moment of warmth that helps them start their day with positivity. This simple offering has encouraged more students to enter the counseling space, especially those who may not have normally sought support. The coffee station has become a natural icebreaker, helping students feel more at ease, lowering anxiety, and fostering genuine, organic conversations.\r\n\r\nWe've seen an increase in:\r\n\t•\tPositive student engagement\r\n\t•\tRelationship-building opportunities\r\n\t•\tBrief check-ins that identify needs earlier\r\n\t•\tA sense of belonging within the school community\r\n\r\nStudents describe the space as \"calming,\" \"a reset,\" and \"somewhere that actually feels like they care.\" For many who face stress, academic pressure, or personal challenges, something as small as a warm drink helps them regulate, breathe, and feel connected.\r\n\r\nThanks to DonorsChoose support, this coffee machine has helped transform our counseling office into a true wellness hub—a place where students feel seen, welcomed, and valued. Your generosity is creating daily moments of comfort that ripple into stronger relationships, better emotional regulation, and a more supportive school environment.\r\n\r\nThank you for making a real difference in our students' lives.","fullyFundedDate":1736986126291,"projectUrl":"project/warm-expresso-and-soooothing-sounds/9028913/","projectTitle":"Warm Expresso and Soooothing Sounds","teacherDisplayName":"Mr. Padilla","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp9240053_orig.jpg?crop=1:1,smart&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1695352184959","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9240053"},{"teacherId":9224879,"projectId":9876456,"letterContent":"Thank you so much for thinking of my students, sports, and clubs.
