The colorful shelves and pool-noodle book spacers have changed choosing and shelving books into fun experiences.\r\n\r\nStudents love the colorful backing and it helps them easily spot different sections and find \"just right\" books, while the pool noodles keep rows neat so students can slide books in and out without everything toppling over. \r\n\r\nWhen students first walk in and see the new shelves, many stop and say, \"It's so colorful in here now!\" They are always excited when I get another shelf \"renovated\"! The space feels special to them, and students who are usually hesitant to choose books have been more willing to browse because the shelves look friendly and less overwhelming.\r\n\r\nI hope to build on this excitement by letting classes create simple shelf labels and student-made recommendation cards that match the new design. This will give them even more ownership of the space and help them see the library as a place they help shape and care for.","fullyFundedDate":1759902206167,"projectUrl":"project/color-our-library-bright/9797336/","projectTitle":"Color Our Library Bright","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Zemp","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp5026611_orig.jpg?width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1744205490096","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/5026611"},{"teacherId":5026611,"projectId":9248889,"letterContent":"Thank you so much for your generous donation of Splat the Cat and Pete the Cat books to our \"Reading with Friends\" project. Your support has made a lasting impact on our library! These books are not only engaging for students but also help build essential literacy skills like fluency, comprehension, and vocabulary. Through the fun and relatable stories, our students are developing a deeper love of reading while also learning valuable lessons about friendship, resilience, and confidence.\r\n\r\nIt's been incredible to see students come alive with excitement during our reading sessions. One student who was once hesitant to read aloud now eagerly shares her voice when reading Pete the Cat, while another has gained new confidence in our discussions after reading Splat the Cat. Your donation has truly helped cultivate a joyful and supportive reading environment in our library, and I'm deeply grateful for your generosity.","fullyFundedDate":1744222484605,"projectUrl":"project/reading-with-friends/9248889/","projectTitle":"Reading with Friends","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Zemp","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp5026611_orig.jpg?width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1744205490096","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/5026611"},{"teacherId":9693244,"projectId":8834185,"letterContent":"With your help, my students have been able to learn and explore more about math and science.

They are able now to work more independently and their confidence has soared. Each student has become more interested in science and math because it isn't so overwhelming anymore. They have become their own \"Young Sheldons\" They ask everyday if we are going to work with our kits. \r\nI cannot express enough in words my most sincere thanks both from me as well as my students!
