The addition of high-interest book series like Percy Jackson and Goosebumps has completely transformed how my students engage with reading. These stories have sparked excitement and curiosity, especially for students who previously struggled to find books they enjoyed. In our classroom, reading is more than just turning pages—it's about thinking deeply, making connections, and growing as learners. With these new texts, students are practicing important skills like making inferences, identifying theme, and supporting their thinking with evidence. I've seen students eagerly discuss plot twists, make predictions, and recommend books to one another—true signs of engaged readers.\r\n\r\nWhat has been most meaningful is watching reluctant readers become confident ones. Students who once hesitated to pick up a book are now asking for extra time to read and are excited to share what they've discovered. These books have created a sense of community, motivation, and pride in our classroom. Your support has made reading feel fun, meaningful, and empowering for my students, and that impact will last far beyond this school year. Thank you for believing in them and helping foster a lifelong love of reading.","fullyFundedDate":1773868208158,"projectUrl":"project/fill-our-shelves-fuel-our-futures/10159889/","projectTitle":"Fill Our Shelves, Fuel Our Futures","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Reyna","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp10010407_orig.jpg?crop=1:1,smart&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1770482575283","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/nreyna"},{"teacherId":10010407,"projectId":10088500,"letterContent":"DeaThank you so much for your generosity and for supporting our classroom. When my students first saw the new materials, their excitement was immediate—especially the colorful pens and markers. They couldn't wait to use them, and right away, I saw an increase in engagement and pride in their work.\r\n\r\nWe have been using these supplies during our end-of-year writing and creative projects. Students are publishing their final pieces using the gel pens and Posca markers, adding illustrations, and presenting their work on sturdy cardstock. The laminating pouches have allowed us to turn their projects into lasting keepsakes that they are proud to take home. The electric pencil sharpener has also made a big difference in our daily routine, helping students stay focused and work independently without interruptions.\r\n\r\nBecause of your support, my students are finishing the school year feeling confident, creative, and accomplished. They are excited to continue expressing their ideas and building on these skills as they move on to the next grade level.

My students use the portable whiteboards daily during guided math and reading groups to solve problems, share ideas, and receive immediate feedback. One special moment was watching students confidently work through multi-step problems on their boards and proudly hold them up to show their thinking—it created a space where everyone felt safe to try.\r\n\r\nWhen the materials first arrived, my students were beyond excited. They couldn't wait to use the whiteboards and colorful resources, and their enthusiasm carried right into their learning. Even my quieter students became more willing to participate and take risks.\r\n\r\nAs we move forward, students will continue using these tools to deepen their understanding through small group instruction, collaborative activities, and repeated practice with graphic organizers.

Students are also building vocabulary and learning to make deeper connections to the story, making reading both meaningful and exciting.\r\n\r\nReading in our classroom has become a time students genuinely look forward to each day. With their personal book bins, they can easily access their books, stay organized, and transition smoothly into independent reading. You can see students fully engaged—turning pages, jotting down thoughts, and even discussing predictions with their peers. The room is filled with quiet focus and excitement as students dive into magical worlds.\r\n\r\nSeveral students who were once hesitant readers are now eagerly picking up these books and asking for more. One student, in particular, lights up when reading about the characters and proudly shares predictions about what might happen next. Others are making connections between events in the story and discussing them with classmates.

My students are now using the Animal Science Kits during small groups and at our science table to explore life cycles, habitats, and food webs. They are using microscopes to observe tiny details, and working collaboratively to make sense of what they see. These kits have allowed my students to move beyond just reading about science they are actually experiencing it.\r\n\r\nWhen the materials first arrived, the excitement was immediate. Students were eager to open each kit, ask questions, and begin exploring. I watched their faces light up as they discovered new details and made connections on their own. Even students who are usually hesitant to participate became actively involved because they could touch, observe, and investigate in a meaningful way.\r\n\r\nAs we continue our science units, students will use these kits to deepen their understanding through inquiry, discussion, and hands-on exploration. They are building not only their knowledge of science concepts but also their confidence as learners. Because of you, my classroom has become a place where curiosity leads the way and learning comes to life.

I watched as they worked together, explained their thinking, and made connections that would have been much harder without these hands-on tools.\r\n\r\nWe now use these resources daily during math rotations and small group instruction. Students are more engaged, willing to participate, and confident in sharing their ideas. One of my favorite moments was hearing a student say, \"Now I get it!\" after using manipulatives to solve a problem independently.\r\n\r\nNext, my students will continue building their skills by applying what they've learned to multi-step problem solving and real-world math tasks.
