Several have commented that they can wait to check out the books again. The great thing is, several of these books are ones that don't get frequently checked out, because they're always spine facing and the kids can't see them!

They walked through the brick wall at Platform 9¾ and were immediately immersed in the excitement of the day. Every student received a personalized Hogwarts Acceptance Letter that sorted them into one of the four Hogwarts Houses, and I proudly hung each house banner on the appropriate teacher's door.\r\n\r\nOur student council members, along with four additional 5th graders, served as \"prefects\" for the day. Each prefect was responsible for leading a small group of students from class to class using their own Marauder's Map to guide the schedule. The students absolutely loved the creativity and attention to detail, and the event helped make them feel recognized and celebrated for their academic achievements.\r\n\r\nBecause of your support, our students experienced a day filled with imagination, teamwork, and joy.

It has already helped increase engagement and encouraged students to take ownership of their behavior.\r\nMoving forward, students will continue earning points through attendance, positive behavior, and demonstrating the D.R.E.A.M. values.

Each book presents common challenges students face, such as managing strong emotions, friendship conflicts, or making responsible choices. Students learn healthy strategies for handling these situations, and we connect each story to real-life experiences in discussion.\r\nReading in my classroom is interactive and discussion-based. We pause to reflect, talk about the characters' choices, and practice how we might handle similar situations. It gives students a safe space to build emotional vocabulary and social skills.\r\nMany students especially enjoy these books because the characters and stories are fun and relatable. Students who are typically quiet often participate more during these lessons, and many students connect the stories directly to their own experiences, which helps them feel understood and supported.","fullyFundedDate":1768590020772,"projectUrl":"project/my-dragon-sel-series/9723416/","projectTitle":"My Dragon SEL Series","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Armstrong","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp9716986_orig.jpg?crop=1:1,smart&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1724949603804","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9716986"},{"teacherId":9285958,"projectId":10032748,"letterContent":"Hooray for new books!

This approach helped students see clear connections between ancestral knowledge and modern STEM fields.\r\n\r\nAs students created projects inspired by cultural practices—such as weaving patterns, beadwork designs, or model structures—they learned how math, science, and engineering have always been part of Indigenous knowledge systems. The supplies made abstract STEM concepts more accessible and engaging, allowing students to experiment, test ideas, and learn from mistakes in a supportive environment.\r\n\r\nAdditionally, the donated supplies reinforced cultural pride and confidence.
