I was able to bring over 40 new titles of books into my classroom through this project. I have seen students work diligently to complete their daily assignments so they will have time to read in our classroom. They are engaged in developing their reading skills, and the reading levels that these new titles provide are a 'just right' level to help guide their learning. They especially love that these new books are titles that they need more than just a few minutes to complete. Students are learning to mark their reading and pick back up later where they left off. This is a new skill for many of these students to work on, and I love seeing books that don't get put right back because a student is 'still reading'. This project would not have been possible for me to fund on my own, donations like yours not only impact my classroom of learners now, but for many years to come. Thank you for supporting future learners and leaders.","fullyFundedDate":1778553473602,"projectUrl":"project/the-literacy-launchpad/10236721/","projectTitle":"The Literacy Launchpad","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Cologna","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp1078926_orig.jpg?crop=172,172,x0,y28&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1777416574270","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/1078926"},{"teacherId":4036431,"projectId":10132564,"letterContent":"Thank you so much for your generous donation. Your support provided materials to support learning in an academic support classroom.

The larger whiteboards allowed for team discussion, contribution, and a gallery stroll. We also witnessed the life cycle of painted lady butterflies and were able to set them free in our school garden. \r\n\r\nIn Writing, we used the watercolors and paper to add a visual element to their I Am From poems. The visual element provided an opportunity for general education and academic support students to represent themselves.
