Because of you, our room has been filled with excitement, creativity, and meaningful learning opportunities. When students first saw the new books, flexible seating tools, and special supplies, their faces truly lit up. Several students immediately gravitated toward the new InvestiGators and Narwhal and Jelly books, excited to read independently and share favorite parts with friends. Others were eager to explore the magnetic building blocks, collaborating and problem solving together during STEM time.\r\n\r\nWe are already using these resources in powerful ways throughout our day. The fidget bands and notebooks have helped students stay focused and comfortable during lessons, while the Post it easel pads and folders support whole group discussions, organization, and student thinking. The variety of hands on materials, like building toys, puzzles, and art supplies, have strengthened teamwork, creativity, and fine motor skills, while also making learning joyful and accessible for all learners.\r\n\r\nLooking ahead, these materials will continue to support literacy, social emotional learning, and classroom community. We will use the books for reading groups and independent reading, the building materials for structured STEM challenges, and the celebration and reward items to recognize effort, growth, and positive behavior. Your support has truly made a lasting impact on my students learning environment, and we are incredibly grateful for your kindness and belief in our classroom.","fullyFundedDate":1768070492452,"projectUrl":"project/celebrating-learning-and-building-joy-in/9945885/","projectTitle":"Celebrating Learning and Building Joy in Second Grade","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Elliott","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp1807839_orig.jpg?crop=2400,2400,x0,y344&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1651003382820","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/erinelliottbartlett"},{"teacherId":1807839,"projectId":9908386,"letterContent":"Thank you so much for funding Storyworks for my second grade students.

Because of you, my students have access to new books that are already making a meaningful difference in their learning and excitement for reading.\r\n\r\nWhile many people love to read books, teaching students how to read deeply is a special process. These new texts are helping us practice important reading skills such as comprehension, identifying main ideas and key details, making predictions, building vocabulary, and understanding characters' thoughts and feelings. The variety of books allows me to better meet students at their individual reading levels and introduce lessons on fluency, text features, and responding to reading through discussion and writing.\r\n\r\nReading in our classroom is active and engaging. Students read independently, in small groups, and together as a class.

The new books have refreshed our library and sparked curiosity, making reading something students truly look forward to each day.\r\n\r\nSeveral students who were once hesitant readers are especially enjoying the new books. Having fresh, high-interest choices has motivated them to pick up a book, stay focused longer, and take pride in finishing stories.
