Reading Animal Farm is a stimulating challenge as it is not just a commentary upon the behavior of the characters, but also may be likened to how we behave in society now. It is full of great topics for debate and for provoking questions.

At a glance, the project you funded would not appear to be transformative. However, the materials we received from your donation did in fact transform our classroom! This was my first year teaching Junior High ELA. Not only was I teaching an age group and subject area that was new to me, I was also starting my new position 5 weeks into the school year. I typically spend a great deal of time before the school year creating a warm and inviting educational environment. I also ensure that I have a proper routine and organization system that works for both me and my students. This year I was not able to establish any of this before I began teaching and after one day in my new classroom, I knew some things needed to change. You made that happen. The project you funded helped create the best educational environment for both me and my students.
