Because of your kindness, my students now have floor cushions and a wonderful collection of books that have made our classroom feel even more welcoming and inviting.\r\n\r\nOne of my biggest goals as a fifth-grade reading teacher is to help my students develop a genuine love for reading. Thanks to your support, our classroom library now includes books from the I Survived series, The Baby-Sitters Club, and Diary of a Wimpy Kid. These are books that my students love, and having more of them available gives students the opportunity to explore stories that actually interest them. The floor cushions have also helped us create a cozy reading environment where students can get comfortable and enjoy a good book. I love being able to give my students choices, not only in what they read, but also in where they read!\r\n\r\nAs we continue through the school year, I hope to keep building a classroom where reading feels less like an assignment and more like something students look forward to. These resources will continue to support our independent reading time and encourage students to become more confident, independent readers. Thank you for believing in my students and helping me create a space where they feel comfortable, valued, and excited to learn. Your generosity is making a difference in our classroom, and we are so grateful!","fullyFundedDate":1784311550389,"projectUrl":"project/flexible-seating-for-flexible-minds/10365649/","projectTitle":"Flexible Seating for Flexible Minds!","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Zapata","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp10099335_orig.jpg?crop=3648,3648,x0,y0&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1775770803298","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/10099335"},{"teacherId":10099335,"projectId":10187159,"letterContent":"Our students absolutely loved this book! Being able to have a copy of their own gave them the independence to read at their own pace, annotate, revisit meaningful moments, and truly connect with the story. It transformed reading from something they had to do into something they were excited to do each day.\r\n\r\nAs we read together, we explored important lessons about kindness, empathy, self-love, acceptance, and the value of true friendship. The novel sparked thoughtful classroom discussions where students reflected on how their words and actions affect others. They made personal connections to the characters and shared experiences that helped us build an even stronger classroom community. By the end of the book, my students walked away with a greater understanding of what it means to be a caring friend, an inclusive classmate, and someone who chooses kindness.\r\n\r\nThis project was especially meaningful because my students were preparing to transition to middle school. Ending our year together with this beautiful novel gave us the opportunity to reflect on the kind of people they want to become as they begin a new chapter. Watching students eagerly discuss the book with one another, recommend their favorite chapters, and celebrate each other's ideas was incredibly rewarding.\r\n\r\nThank you for believing in my students and helping make this vision a reality. Your generosity provided much more than books, it created meaningful conversations, lasting memories, and lessons that my students will carry with them long after they leave my classroom. We are so grateful for your support!","fullyFundedDate":1775948917410,"projectUrl":"project/creating-a-wonder-ful-classroom/10187159/","projectTitle":"Creating a WONDER-ful Classroom","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Zapata","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp10099335_orig.jpg?crop=3648,3648,x0,y0&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1775770803298","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/10099335"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_130933","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":440,"numTeachers":null,"percentFrplEligible":89,"percentAsian":0,"percentBlack":2,"percentWhite":1,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":94,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","percentHawaiianImputed":0,"percentMultiracialImputed":0,"gradesServed":"K - 6","studentTeacherRatio":null,"demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"URBAN","ncesMetroType":"CITY_LARGE"},"inStateSupporters":76.2,"schoolId":130933,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Yes Preparatory East End Elementary on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Yes Preparatory East End Elementary","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/texas/texas-department-of-education/yes-preparatory-east-end-elementary/130933"}
