This project has brought such joy and connection to our classroom community—especially for students who are still learning English or who may never have owned a book before. Having a personal copy allows each student to follow along during our class readings, take notes, highlight favorite parts, and truly engage with the story. \r\n\r\nThe story we read together helped us explore themes of empathy, kindness, and what it means to feel different—powerful ideas that resonate deeply in our incredibly diverse classroom. My students come from all over the world—Asia, Central and South America, Africa, Eastern Europe, and tiny island nations—and together we discussed how the characters' experiences reminded them of their own journeys. Our read-aloud became a bridge between languages, cultures, and hearts. Students practiced making inferences about the characters, shared thoughtful insights in writing, and grew in confidence as readers and thinkers.\r\n\r\nThis project made a lasting impact on my teaching and my students' learning. Because of your support—and the help of The DonorsChoose Community—I was able to provide an equitable learning experience for every student, whether they were learning from home or in person. Watching them turn pages together, quote the text in their writing, and proudly take their books home was a beautiful reminder of how powerful a single story can be. You've helped my students see themselves as readers, learners, and members of a caring community.","fullyFundedDate":1607403305204,"projectUrl":"project/students-need-books-at-home/5324295/","projectTitle":"Students Need Books at Home!","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Moskal","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-7_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/ms-moskal"},{"teacherId":4184133,"projectId":9242307,"letterContent":"Thanks to your generous support, our library has become more of an inclusive and inspiring space for every student. The new books have allowed my students to explore stories in both English and their native languages, helping them grow as bilingual and bi-literate learners. Many of these texts introduce essential reading skills—like identifying story elements, making inferences, and exploring character motivation—but they also open doors to cultural understanding and self-expression. For my English learners, being able to read in a language they understand builds confidence and a bridge to learning English more fluently.\r\n\r\nReading time in our library is now filled with energy and curiosity. You'll see students curled up with graphic novels in Spanish, picture books in Ukrainian, and early chapter books in English—sometimes switching between languages as they learn new words and phrases. The excitement on their faces when they find a book in their home language is something I wish you could see. They feel seen, valued, and connected.\r\n\r\nThank you for helping create a safe, welcoming space where every child can see themselves reflected in the pages of a book.
