As you know, reading is the foundation to achievement. And when students find reading materials that represent them and their interests, they are more likely to continue reading which leads to more successes in school and the workforce. \r\n\r\nAs a librarian at a school with over 80% of the students on free or reduced lunch and 20% of the students being English language learners, I thoughtfully develop a library collection that represents all the patrons of the library. I find books that highight their backgrounds, their experiences, their interests, their struggles, their cultures. Your donation helps me curate a collection that the students want to read, want to explore.","fullyFundedDate":1625203063150,"projectUrl":"project/putting-our-whole-face-into-books-not-j/5610312/","projectTitle":"Putting Our Whole Face Into Books, Not Just Our Noses","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Heckel","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/272x272/tp305643_272x272.jpg?width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1521133816316","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/kheckel"},{"teacherId":2934473,"projectId":9054636,"letterContent":"My class had been working with hobbyist software and hardware to make stop motion.

That is such a heavy and important gift. \r\n\r\nThis software, Dragonframe, is industry standard for stop motion, and we instantly felt why. All of a sudden the work flow felt manageable. Immediately, when implementing skills we'd developed over the course of this school year, were able to focus on the meticulousness of the work without feeling defeated by the technological hills we struggled to climb.\r\n\r\nAgain, this was huge for us.
