As an English teacher, my favorite moments are those where my students and I are deep in discussion about literature and life. Your contribution has provided me with the \"missing piece\" needed to make those discussions more seamless and engaging for everyone involved.\r\n\r\nFor a long time, my lessons involved a difficult balancing act—juggling a heavy hardback textbook and various papers while trying to move through the room to stay connected with my students. Your kindness has replaced that physical strain with a tool that allows me to lead with confidence and mobility.\r\n\r\nBecause of your support, our daily lessons have been transformed in several key ways:\r\n\r\nEnhanced Engagement: I am no longer tied to my desk when my arms get tired. I can now move the podium throughout the room, staying in the \"thick of the conversation\" and keeping my students' attention right where it belongs—on the text.\r\n\r\nOrganized Instruction: Instead of reading from odd angles or worrying about dropping materials, I now have a secure, professional space for my textbook and notes. This allows me to focus entirely on my students' questions and insights.\r\n\r\nA More Dynamic Environment: The ability to be mobile while teaching literature creates a more energetic and responsive classroom atmosphere that my students truly appreciate.\r\n\r\nIt is heartening to know there are individuals who understand that even a single piece of furniture can profoundly change the way a teacher connects with their class. My students and I are deeply grateful for your commitment to our learning environment.","fullyFundedDate":1764609995247,"projectUrl":"project/stand-and-deliver/9876705/","projectTitle":"Stand and Deliver","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. McCole","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp7231026_orig.jpg?crop=2053,2053,x262,y92&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1659638592073","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/jmccole"},{"teacherId":7231026,"projectId":9617108,"letterContent":"Thank you so much for your incredible generosity in providing copies of The Last Dragon on Mars for my 7th-grade gifted classroom. In a room full of advanced readers, finding a text that truly challenges their thinking and captures their imagination can be a rare feat, and your support has made that possible.\r\n\r\nBecause of your contribution, my students now have a literary home for their interest in speculative fiction. This novel is doing so much more than just telling a story; it is serving as a deep dive into complex themes of identity and collaboration that resonate deeply with these young thinkers.\r\n\r\nYour donation is having a direct impact on our classroom in several meaningful ways:\r\n\r\nPersonalized Pacing: By having their own copies, students can engage with the text at their own speed, allowing for a deeper, more personal connection to the narrative.\r\n\r\nIt is heartening to know there are individuals who value the unique needs of gifted education and are willing to invest in the resources that keep these students engaged and inspired.

Your generosity makes it possible for students to engage with a powerful, challenging novel that sparks curiosity and deep thinking. Because of you, learners will have access to shared texts that encourage discussion, reflection, and a genuine love of reading.\r\n\r\nNovel studies have a strong impact on educational outcomes by building critical literacy skills. Through close reading, analysis of theme and character, and thoughtful discussion, students strengthen comprehension, vocabulary, and writing abilities. Studying a complete work also helps students practice sustained attention and evidence-based thinking—skills that transfer across subjects and support long-term academic success.","fullyFundedDate":1755731694991,"projectUrl":"project/haunting-memories-experiencing-gothic-l/9573046/","projectTitle":"Haunting Memories: Experiencing Gothic Literature","teacherDisplayName":"Mr. Crabtree","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-8_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/8842635"},{"teacherId":9096747,"projectId":9276815,"letterContent":"This might be my favorite project I have submitted.

Seeing them crack open a book, read a chapter on their own, and think critically about social issues is the most refreshing experience that a teacher can have. Having read highly-engaging texts that are examples of classic literature is what will make our students stand out from the rest. \r\n\r\nOur job seems simple: Teach them to read.
