Because of your kindness, we were able to purchase a full class set of *The One and Only Bob*, the follow-up to *The One and Only Ivan*. Our students were so engaged with Ivan's story that it was only natural to continue on this journey with Bob. Your gift made that possible, and we are deeply grateful.\r\n\r\nIt is not always easy to capture students' interest in a novel, but when a story truly resonates with them, it becomes a powerful tool for learning. Having this sequel in our hands allows us to build on their excitement and foster a love of reading that extends beyond one book. Already, our class discussions have been filled with curiosity and anticipation as students make connections between the two stories.\r\n\r\nWith *The One and Only Bob*, we are able to dive into important literacy skills such as theme, main idea, vocabulary development, point of view, and text structure. Your support gives us the opportunity to use literature in meaningful ways that spark engagement while strengthening essential reading skills. Thank you again for believing in the importance of literacy and for giving our students this wonderful learning experience.","fullyFundedDate":1744560227799,"projectUrl":"project/bonkers-for-book-studies/9241746/","projectTitle":"Bonkers for Book Studies!","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Zimmerman","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp5002396_orig.jpg?crop=1692,1692,x0,y146&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1684172749547","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/5002396"},{"teacherId":5292299,"projectId":8874620,"letterContent":"Thank you so much for donating towards our classroom rug.
