Since we are just beginning our first grade year together, we haven't had the chance to dive into all of them yet, but my students are already so excited about the new stories waiting for us!\r\n\r\nWhen the books arrived, there was so much excitement as we looked through all of the new titles. My students can't wait to hear the stories, meet new characters, and eventually be able to read many of these books themselves as their reading skills grow throughout the year.\r\n\r\nFor some of my students, the books they have access to at school may be the only books they are consistently exposed to. Because of your generosity, our classroom is now filled with books that will give them opportunities to laugh, wonder, imagine, learn, and discover the joy of reading.\r\n\r\nOne of my favorite parts of teaching first grade is watching children grow from beginning readers into confident readers who are proud of what they can do. These books will be right there with us throughout that journey. We will use them for read-alouds, classroom lessons, independent reading, and simply enjoying a really good story together.\r\n\r\nThank you for believing in my little readers and helping me give them a classroom where books are exciting, inviting, and always within reach. These books won't just impact the students sitting in my classroom today, they will be loved and enjoyed by many classes of first graders for years to come.\r\n\r\nWe are incredibly grateful for you!","fullyFundedDate":1780431987040,"projectUrl":"project/building-bright-readers-one-book-at-a-t/10276108/","projectTitle":"Building Bright Readers, One Book at a Time","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Brandi Jones","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp10097446_orig.jpg?crop=1:1,smart&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1754803546643","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/10097446"},{"teacherId":10430337,"projectId":10087734,"letterContent":"My students feel so excited to have the chair pockets and carts this year for our classroom.

We have a new math curriculum this year and it will take up a lot of our classroom shelves and storage.

Because the topics connected to what students were seeing around them, they were excited to share their own experiences and ideas during our read-aloud discussions.\r\n\r\nIn our classroom, reading is an interactive time where students ask questions, make connections, and build vocabulary together.

These topics sparked rich discussions and encouraged students to share their own experiences and wonderings.\r\n\r\nOur morning reading time became a space for curiosity and connection through these stories! Students compared traditions and asked thoughtful questions we continued to learn about new things.

Through these seasonal read-alouds, we practice making connections, building vocabulary, identifying story elements, strengthening comprehension, and developing speaking and listening skills. Students turn and talk, make predictions, and share their thinking with one another.\r\n\r\nSeveral students have truly lit up with these new books. Some who are typically quieter have begun participating more, while others have already claimed these stories as their favorites — especially during Reading Across America week when we had guest readers join us.\r\n\r\nThis has been a busy season, but these books have helped us slow down, connect, and grow together as a class.

Instead of memorizing facts, they are building conceptual understanding.\r\n\r\nOur new STEM materials support problem-solving, collaboration, and critical thinking. Students are engaging in engineering challenges where they plan, test, revise, and improve their ideas. They are learning perseverance, productive struggle, and confidence in their thinking.\r\n\r\nMany of my students thrive when they can touch, build, and physically represent their ideas.
