The moment the books and soft seating arrived, their eyes lit up—students immediately gravitated toward the space, carefully choosing books and settling in with purpose and excitement. You didn't just provide books; you helped create a space where reading feels safe, joyful, and special.\r\nThese new texts support important early literacy skills such as identifying characters and settings, retelling stories, making predictions, and building vocabulary. During independent reading, students practice stamina and focus, while small-group lessons allow us to talk about story elements, author's purpose, and connections to their own lives. Reading in our classroom now looks like students curled up with books, whisper-reading with confidence, sharing favorite parts with friends, and proudly rereading familiar stories to build fluency.\r\nSeveral students who were once hesitant readers are now choosing books independently and asking for \"just one more minute\" in the nook. One student who struggled to stay engaged can now sit and read for extended periods, while another eagerly recommends books to classmates. Your support has helped our students see themselves as readers—and that belief will carry them far beyond first grade. Thank you for helping us build a love of reading that will last a lifetime.","fullyFundedDate":1757012229965,"projectUrl":"project/snuggle-up-read-a-nook-for-first-grad/9389565/","projectTitle":"Snuggle Up & Read: a Nook for First Grade Magic!","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Amyett","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp9103924_orig.jpg?crop=1:1,smart&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1689553512177","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9103924"},{"teacherId":9103924,"projectId":9477728,"letterContent":"Because of your generosity, my students now come to class with full bellies and focused minds, ready to learn, grow, and succeed.

Many of my students come to school without having had breakfast, so having healthy snacks on hand has made a huge difference in their focus and energy throughout the day. One special moment happened during our reading block: a student who usually struggles to stay engaged was able to participate fully after having a quick snack—he even raised his hand to read aloud! These snacks have become an essential part of our daily routine, helping students stay alert and ready to learn. As we continue working on building various academic skills, it's clear that these snacks are fueling not just their bodies, but their confidence too. I'm so grateful to our donors for giving my students the chance to learn with full hearts and full bellies. Parents have also appreciated the donation greatly and are happy to know their children are well taken care of.","fullyFundedDate":1757012200412,"projectUrl":"project/feeding-minds-hearts-one-snack-at-a-t/9499091/","projectTitle":"Feeding Minds & Hearts, One Snack at a Time","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Hefner","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp9220342_orig.jpg?crop=1438,1438,x440,y317&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1693096601844","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9220342"},{"teacherId":9220342,"projectId":8900346,"letterContent":"I am writing to express my thanks for your kindness and generosity in providing snacks for our first-grade classroom.
