The new books have brought so much excitement and energy to our students, and they were thrilled the moment the materials arrived. Many students immediately began flipping through the pages, sharing interesting facts with classmates, and asking if they could start reading right away. It was wonderful to see students so eager and engaged with reading. These books have helped create a more inviting classroom environment where students feel excited to learn and explore new topics.\r\n\r\nWe are using the new books during independent reading time and promote class discussions. Students who are sometimes hesitant to participate became more confident because they were genuinely interested in the texts. The variety of books has also allowed students to find topics and stories that match their interests, helping build both reading stamina and comprehension skills.\r\n\r\nAs we continue through the school year, students will use these books for enjoyment, as well as learning how math relates to the real world. The resources you provided are helping students strengthen important academic skills while also developing a love of reading. Thank you for investing in our classroom and giving our students opportunities to learn, grow, and become more engaged readers and mathematicians each day!","fullyFundedDate":1778014668611,"projectUrl":"project/counting-on-books-where-numbers-tell-s/10178399/","projectTitle":"Counting on Books: Where Numbers Tell Stories","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Benny","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp3420466_orig.jpg?crop=1:1,smart&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1775089608658","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/3420466"},{"teacherId":10033574,"projectId":9349997,"letterContent":"Thank you so much for your generous donations!

I'm thrilled the students are having so much fun, and it's even better because they're gaining skills and not even realizing it! They are thinking and strategizing in new ways, building confidence, and gaining interpersonal skills.\r\n\r\nMany aspects of learning to read are practiced through the games you gave. Students are reading through the directions and game cards to play correctly and fairly, following the directions, putting order into moves, coming up with strategies, and learning new words. Their academic skills are growing as well as their social skills. \r\n\r\nThey are having fun and learning! What could be better? The future is bright for these students!
