In the state of Florida, the Sunshine State Young Reader Award and Orange Blossom Award programs really entice students with their reading and it is great to have these fantastic titles available for our students. \r\n\r\nEach time students come into the library, they head straight for these shelves to explore the books that are currently available. Once they read one of these titles and demonstrate comprehension of the text they are awarded with a fun necklace with charms specific for each book. This program really motivates students to keep reading and the Orange Blossom titles greatly increase students interest in reading nonfiction books which really improves their knowledge of expository vocabulary. \r\n\r\nIt is so wonderful to have these books and to celebrate reading success with the students. Thank you again for your generosity.","fullyFundedDate":1778034969251,"projectUrl":"project/books-my-students-will-beg-to-read/10262428/","projectTitle":"Books My Students Will Beg to Read!","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Kelly","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp7833216_orig.png?crop=500,500,x0,y0&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1715049632790","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/7833216"},{"teacherId":7833216,"projectId":9974082,"letterContent":"I cannot express how truly grateful I am to the donors that gave towards this project to update the biography section of our elementary library.

This project has greatly improved the organization of the biography books and made it much easier for students to locate books of interest.\r\n\r\nWhile the students are enjoying the newly organized space, this project has also helped me to more easily see the topics and book titles that the students are most interested in. This gives me great information to use to determine new books to purchase, so I can continue to improve upon book titles of interest available for students to check out. \r\n\r\nThank you again to all those that donated towards this project!","fullyFundedDate":1769049844892,"projectUrl":"project/biography-books-beautifully-organized/9974082/","projectTitle":"Biography Books Beautifully Organized","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Kelly","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp7833216_orig.png?crop=500,500,x0,y0&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1715049632790","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/7833216"},{"teacherId":10023679,"projectId":9689793,"letterContent":"The students cheered on seeing the materials and discovering ways to paint with watercolor. We took our time developing our sun and moon design and exploring patterns and shapes. Everyone got to choose how they wanted to display the patterns on their design. The students painted the sun side first (warm colors) and allowed time for it to dry before completing their moon side (cool colors). This is a necessary step to ensure the colors don't bleed together on the paper. On completing their project, students admired their work and I could see how proud they were for crafting a multi-step project. We displayed these artworks in a Multicultural Celebration where students were able to share their work with their parents. Thank you so much for your part in encouraging these young learners to persevere, innovate a design, share their creativity, and most importantly be proud of themselves.","fullyFundedDate":1758255145338,"projectUrl":"project/mexican-folk-art-sun-and-moon-painting/9689793/","projectTitle":"Mexican Folk Art Sun and Moon Painting","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Davis","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp10023679_orig.jpg?crop=1155,1155,x0,y80&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1757110739514","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/10023679"},{"teacherId":1556131,"projectId":9402752,"letterContent":"We are deeply grateful for your donation of engaging and exciting books to our 4th-grade classroom.
