I can show the students how to fix their own bookbags and they can show others.

These new books have completely changed the energy in our room. We've been using them to explore characters and make real-world connections—and the variety of realistic fiction, graphic novels, and suspense has something for every reader. Having several titles in both English and Spanish has also helped my bilingual students feel seen and included.\r\n\r\nReading time feels exciting and personal again. Students are choosing what they want to read, sharing recommendations with each other, and actually asking for more reading time. One student who used to avoid books now finishes a graphic novel every week, while two other students started a little book club to talk about the book they are reading.\r\n\r\nYour generosity didn't just give us books—it helped create a classroom full of readers.

It was like opening a treasure chest! One student exclaimed, \"We have new paints now, wow!\" That moment alone was unforgettable.\r\n\r\nSince receiving the supplies, we've been diving into several exciting projects. Right now, students are working on art collages while exploring how to express their identities through color, texture, and shape. We're also beginning a collaborative mural that reflects themes of community and diversity—something the kids are incredibly proud of.\r\n\r\nYour donation hasn't just given us materials; it's given my students the opportunity to express themselves, build confidence, and learn through hands-on creativity. They feel seen and supported—because of you.\r\n\r\nLooking ahead, we'll be using these supplies for seasonal art, storytelling through visual art, and even experimenting with recycled materials to explore sustainability in creative ways.

These texts are already making a huge impact on my students. For many of them, reading has always felt like a challenge, but the accessible, high-interest stories you helped provide have opened the door to lessons on critical thinking, empathy, and cultural understanding. We've been able to practice skills like analyzing character choices, tracing themes across a story, and even comparing multiple perspectives on issues that directly connect to my students' lives.\r\n\r\nReading in our classroom now looks vibrant and full of energy. Students gather in small book clubs to discuss their stories, and eagerly share their thoughts. The graphic novels, in particular, have drawn in reluctant readers who now rush to be the first to finish a chapter so they can share their take with their classmates.\r\n\r\nSome of the most rewarding moments have come from students who previously struggled to engage with reading. One multilingual learner recently told me, \"This is the first book I've actually wanted to finish,\" while another student who rarely participated in class is now volunteering to lead her group's discussion. Your gift hasn't just provided books, it has given students confidence, joy, and the chance to see themselves as readers.","fullyFundedDate":1755180077764,"projectUrl":"project/books-that-speak-to-us-a-shelf-refresh/9319995/","projectTitle":"Books That Speak to Us: A Shelf Refresh for Everyone","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Denton","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/272x272/tp6191052_272x272.jpg?width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1547221347002","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/morgan-denton"},{"teacherId":2635597,"projectId":9177999,"letterContent":"The books are really amazing!

The diversity of images of plankton, such as diatoms and radiolarians, truly brought their beauty and complexity to light.\r\n\r\nNext semester, in Biology 2, I plan to utilize the tardigrade books to help students locate and study tardigrades in the classroom. We will apply what we learn about collecting them from the books, and will hopefully be successful around the school campus. I know some good spots with a lot of moss where we are sure to find some moss piglets!\r\n\r\nAgain, I sincerely appreciate your generosity in funding this project.
