These texts are game-changers for learners who struggle with traditional, archaic language. Instead of being shut out of the story, students can follow the plot with ease and then dive deeper into analyzing themes, characters, and choices. The clarity of these editions doesn't \"dumb down\" Shakespeare—it opens the door to understanding, making the stories more vibrant and meaningful.\r\n\r\nIn our classroom, this accessibility means students who once dreaded reading aloud are now volunteering to take parts in plays, laughing through the dramatic irony, and even catching subtleties that used to get lost. It's given them a sense of pride in grappling with literature that once felt impossible. One of my students told me, \"I finally feel like I actually get Shakespeare!\"—and that confidence carries over into other areas of their learning.\r\n\r\nBy removing unnecessary barriers, you've allowed my students to engage with complex ideas and see themselves as capable readers. These editions help me teach the joy of literature, not just the mechanics of decoding. Thank you for helping every student in my classroom feel like they have a seat at the table in these timeless conversations.","fullyFundedDate":1745263823108,"projectUrl":"project/empowering-student-success-through-acces/9047559/","projectTitle":"Empowering Student Success Through Accessible Literature","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Mobilia","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp9626660_orig.jpg?crop=1:1,smart&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1723657828915","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9626660"},{"teacherId":9626660,"projectId":9047669,"letterContent":"Thanks to the generosity of our donors, our classroom became a space where students could focus not just on surviving—but thriving.\r\n\r\nYou helped us stock up on snacks that seem simple on the surface: Goldfish, granola bars, juice boxes. But for many of my students, these are luxuries, not givens. Many come to school food-insecure, distracted by hunger or dehydration, carrying the invisible weight of \"lack.\" Your support helped lift that weight.\r\n\r\nWhen students don't have to worry about feeding their bellies, they can feed their minds. I watched them shift from anxious to engaged, from withdrawn to connected. They laughed more. They stayed in class longer. They worked harder. And they started to believe that they deserve to have their needs met—because they do.\r\n\r\nOne student said, \"You spoil us.\" And maybe I do. But only because life has already been too hard on them. Snacks aren't spoiling. Snacks are safety. Snacks are trust. Snacks are a tiny way of saying: You matter.\r\n\r\nThank you for making that message loud and clear.","fullyFundedDate":1746785979434,"projectUrl":"project/fueling-student-success-snacks-for-a-n/9047669/","projectTitle":"\"Fueling Student Success: Snacks for a Nourished Mind\"","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Mobilia","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp9626660_orig.jpg?crop=1:1,smart&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1723657828915","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9626660"},{"teacherId":9626660,"projectId":9165366,"letterContent":"Thanks to your generous support, our classroom library transformed into a vibrant, student-centered space where every reader could find a book that spoke to them.\r\n\r\nIn the final weeks of the school year, we brought learning outside—literally and figuratively. Under the sunshine, students curled up with new books that matched their reading levels, their interests, and most importantly, their curiosity. The impact was immediate: excitement buzzed as students discovered new series and revisited familiar characters with renewed enthusiasm.\r\n\r\nYour donations brought us beloved titles like Percy Jackson—perfectly timed after we read The Odyssey and watched The Lightning Thief. Students made meaningful text-to-text connections and felt empowered to keep reading on their own. We also received high-interest, accessible series like Fly Guy, Who Would Win?, Dog Man, and National Geographic books, all of which sparked conversations, laughter, and deep engagement from even our most reluctant readers.\r\n\r\nThis project wasn't just about books. It was about visibility, access, and joy. It was about students seeing themselves as readers—regardless of their level—and feeling proud of it.\r\n\r\nThank you for making this possible!","fullyFundedDate":1746785880829,"projectUrl":"project/free-reading-books-for-all-learners/9165366/","projectTitle":"Free Reading Books for All Learners","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Mobilia","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp9626660_orig.jpg?crop=1:1,smart&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1723657828915","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9626660"},{"teacherId":9626660,"projectId":8850320,"letterContent":"I cannot thank you enough for your incredible donation of reading materials to my classroom. The impact these books have had on my students is truly remarkable. Seeing their excitement as they dive into graphic novels like \"Frizzy\" and \"American Born Chinese\" has been heartwarming, especially as they connect with stories from underrepresented authors. Many have been so engaged that they've asked to take the books home—a testament to how much these stories mean to them. \r\n\r\nYour generosity has also enriched our curriculum in meaningful ways. Using \"They Called Us Enemy\" alongside \"Night\" by Elie Wiesel provided my students with a broader perspective on World War II, allowing for thoughtful discussions on history, identity, and justice. The variety of books you provided has been invaluable in meeting the diverse reading levels in my special education classroom, ensuring that every student has access to stories they can enjoy and learn from. \r\n\r\nThank you for making a difference in my students' lives. Your donation has not only fostered a love of reading but also empowered them with stories that reflect their experiences and expand their understanding of the world.
