My students are more engaged and excited about reading than ever before. Each new adventure with Jack and Annie sparks their curiosity, imagination, and love for stories.\r\n\r\nThe addition of the Magic Tree House graphic novels has been especially powerful. These beautifully illustrated books allow my non-readers and emerging readers to follow along and fully participate in our shared reading experiences. They can see the story unfold and connect with the characters in meaningful ways, building confidence and comprehension with every page.\r\n\r\nThe STEM building supplies have also helped bring our reading to life. After reading, my students use the materials to design and build their own tree houses—just like Jack and Annie's! These hands-on projects inspire creativity, teamwork, and problem-solving while deepening their understanding of the stories we read together.\r\n\r\nThe combination of literature, art, and STEM has transformed our classroom into a space where every child feels successful, inspired, and eager to learn.\r\n\r\nThank you for supporting our journey through books, imagination, and discovery!","fullyFundedDate":1760550124158,"projectUrl":"project/journey-through-time-with-magic-tree-hou/9826897/","projectTitle":"Journey Through Time with Magic Tree House!","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Lahman-Quillen","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp7728865_orig.jpg?crop=1854,1854,x126,y0&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1760401597494","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/7728865"},{"teacherId":7654986,"projectId":9816710,"letterContent":"I would like to express my heartfelt thanks for your generous donations that allowed me to purchase new books for my third-grade classroom.
