Because of your generosity, my first graders now have access to a beautiful variety of stories that make them light up with excitement during reading time.\r\n\r\nWhen our new books arrived, the classroom buzzed with joy. Students were shouting out titles, hugging books like old friends, and immediately asking, \"Can we start reading now?!\" We've built a cozy reading corner where they can dive into adventures, learn about new topics, and grow their confidence as readers every single day.\r\n\r\nThese books aren't just stories—they're tools for imagination, empathy, and self-discovery. My students are learning that reading isn't just something we have to do—it's something we get to do. And that shift in mindset is priceless.\r\n\r\nThank you for giving my class the chance to fall in love with reading. Your kindness and support will continue to inspire them long after these pages are turned.","fullyFundedDate":1746785989113,"projectUrl":"project/new-books-to-read-please/9120500/","projectTitle":"New Books to Read Please!","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Bancroft","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp9585682_orig.jpg?crop=1:1,smart&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1739940431591","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9585682"},{"teacherId":9585682,"projectId":8910067,"letterContent":"Thank you so much for all that you have done for my students this year.

With the lamination pages I was able to make place value charts, abc resources, math resources and I was able to laminate special things around our classroom! I can even reuse the resources I laminated for my future students as well! It is like the gift that keeps on giving. \r\nThe cleaning supplies were AMAZING!
