They are loving the story. I think one of my favorite things about teaching this book has been the connection that many of my students feel with the main character, Mia Yang. Mia is a 10 year old immigrant from China. The novel details many experiences that some of my students (also immigrants or refugees) can really relate to. I love seeing them getting excited, and angry, and sad, then happy again along with the characters in the book.\r\n Thank you so much for providing us with this opportunity to experience this book together.","fullyFundedDate":1750700436108,"projectUrl":"project/stories-that-stick-class-sets-of-our-co/9367226/","projectTitle":"Stories That Stick: Class Sets of Our Core Novels","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Clayton","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp10039531_orig.jpg?crop=400,400,x0,y0&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1747693930872","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/10039531"},{"teacherId":6179689,"projectId":9268727,"letterContent":"Thanks to your generosity, our classroom library has completely transformed. As soon as the new books arrived, students crowded around the boxes, trying to grab their favorite titles before someone else could. The excitement was immediate—students who once struggled to find interest in reading were suddenly eager to get started. These books have made reading feel like a privilege instead of an assignment, and that shift has been incredible to witness.\r\n\r\nNow, reading time is full of energy and choice. Students use these books for independent reading, dyad (partner) reading, and even at-home reading with their families. It's common to hear students talking about what they're reading, swapping books, and recommending series to their friends. Many of my most reluctant readers are now asking to check books out from our class library—and even more exciting, they've started requesting additional series and new titles they'd love to see added next.\r\n\r\nYour donation has done more than fill our shelves—it's built a community of readers. You've helped my students discover stories that truly interest them and given them the confidence to call themselves readers. Their enthusiasm is spreading, and the ripple effect will last far beyond this school year. Thank you for believing in them and helping bring that love of reading to life.","fullyFundedDate":1753981686090,"projectUrl":"project/from-wimpy-kids-to-wizards-a-library-th/9268727/","projectTitle":"From Wimpy Kids to Wizards: a Library They’ll Love","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Mills","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp6179689_orig.jpg?crop=1987,1988,x0,y185&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1642603952857","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/6179689"},{"teacherId":2624286,"projectId":9029982,"letterContent":"You have revolutionized my classroom library!
