It is always so humbling how people are willing to support classrooms without even knowing for sure the teachers or students within that class. Your gift is deeply appreciated.\r\n\r\nMy students this year will be able to study the famous novella, \"A Christmas Carol\" by Charles Dickens in a different way than prior years because of your donation. Not only will students engaged in reading the original text, but they will also be able to read the graphic novel and work on comparing and contrasting how different authors present the same literature work. My desire is that students who may not understand the original text will benefit from reading the graphic novel and be able to make connections through the words and pictures.\r\n\r\nMy students also now have a variety of alternative seating that they can use at their desks or when they move around the room and are able to sit on the floor. Since our floors are hard and not always easy to sit on for long periods, the sitting pads will be an excellent addition to our classroom seating options. \r\n\r\nThank you again for your donation and for thinking of my students and me.","fullyFundedDate":1724644402018,"projectUrl":"project/books-portals-to-the-unknown/8700777/","projectTitle":"Books: Portals to the Unknown","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Wigen","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp9705644_orig.jpg?crop=1:1,smart&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1724871270836","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9705644"},{"teacherId":9696064,"projectId":8687007,"letterContent":"The classroom materials purchased for our 7th grade math class will positively impact students learning and understanding around math concepts.
