It makes me happy to see my students ask to grab a book off of my bookshelf, without being prompted, whenever they have free time. This specific classroom project helped me to add more diversity focused novels to my library so that my students ave the opportunity to read about individuals who are different from themselves. \r\nI appreciate your support!","fullyFundedDate":1777990896456,"projectUrl":"project/books-that-build-readers-diversity-editi/10176042/","projectTitle":"Books that Build Readers-Diversity Edition","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Henderson","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp6800170_orig.jpg?crop=3780,3780,x0,y756&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1775055451981","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/hendersonstem"},{"teacherId":6800170,"projectId":10166844,"letterContent":"Thank you so much for donating to my classroom.

Our entire curriculum is online, and with teaching in a low-income area, many of my students do not have the means to purchase their own set of headphones. Similarly, teaching middle schoolers brings its own challenges in regard to individual responsibilities, and students tend to lose or break their headphones long before the school year has ended. \r\nBy having my own classroom set of headphones, I will no longer have to worry about whether or not my students will be able to use the audio aspects of some of their lessons. The design of the headphones and storage pockets also adds a nice and colorful touch to my classroom walls. \r\nI appreciate your support, and I know that my students will be thankful too.

New books are always welcome in my classroom. They are such an easy way to motivate students to grab a book and read. \r\nWhen I first moved into this reading position at Rockwood Middle School four years ago, I inherited a bookshelf filled with books that the teacher who taught before me had collected over her 30+ years of teaching. As I searched through the books, I recognized many of them as books I had considered old when I was going through school. I remembered reading the Baby Sitters Club Books and the Boxcar Children books when I was in middle school, and seeing those same books on my bookshelf, I felt somewhat defeated. It wasn't that they were bad books, but they were books that were old and less intriguing to students who were born over 20 years after they had been written. Don't get me wrong, countless classics were written long before you or I were born, but as young students just now beginning to find an interest in reading, the books on my bookshelf weren't very supportive. \r\nI feel so blessed to have new and updated books on my bookshelf, thanks to you. I already have had several students ask me if they could check one out, and that hasn't been happening much all school year until now. Truly, thank you from the bottom of my heart.
