These new additions to our bookshelves have helped engaged some of my most reluctant readers. The saying never judge a book by its cover, yet this generation the cover is the first thing they see that captivates their curiosities. \r\n\r\nFormally students read for 20 minutes daily as recommended to help build vocabulary, yet with these new books students are reading even beyond the 20 minutes, asking to borrow books for the weekend and most recently over the summer break.\r\n\r\nI love seeing students reading, but most importantly I love when they have finished reading the novel, come back and sit with me to tell me all about their reading experience, I have heard everything from \"it was totally predictable\" to \"I can't believe the author did that to that character.\" Some come asking for more and others recommend their book to their friend or classmate.

Sometimes all a student needs is a warm, comforting environment to land before their learning can happen. I am so happy that you helped make my classroom that space for many students. \r\n\r\nHere, whether having a bad day, or just needing a pick me up, students can grab a warm beverage and relax, or chat and find connections with others. Student routinely express how much they enjoy having this simple treat and how it can restore calm and positivity.

Our students were able to enjoy and are still enjoying books by Filipino American authors, stories about Filipinos and opening windows and doors to those who had little knowledge of the Filipino American story.\r\n\r\nThese books opened up conversation and opportunities to connect during our Filipino American History month and the stories continue to spread even beyond the month of October. One book in particular - The Patron Saints of Nothing was so popular that it is now part of a grade level book club.\r\n\r\nI am so excited to that these books and long lasting and will outlast just a school year. For example, the Filipino cook book was used by our culinary arts program and they highlighted the cuisine of Filipinos in one of their units of study. \r\n\r\nWe are grateful for books likes these to tell stories of those whose stories are often to heard and thankful that you were able to give our students (and families) access to this great literature.","fullyFundedDate":1760117167614,"projectUrl":"project/halo-halo-reading-mix/9786787/","projectTitle":"Halo-Halo: Reading Mix","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Fresco","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/272x272/tp477_272x272.jpg?width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1483566260601","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/mrs-frescogifford"},{"teacherId":3196154,"projectId":9253847,"letterContent":"I am deeply grateful for your generous support in providing fidget toys for our high school science classrooms. This year, with the implementation of a new cell phone ban, your contribution has made a significant impact on our students' ability to stay focused and engaged during lessons. The fidget toys offer an outlet for restless energy, helping students channel their attention towards their studies. By reducing distractions and promoting active participation, these tools have created a more productive learning environment, allowing students to dive deeper into their studies with improved concentration and enthusiasm.\r\nYour donation also supports our curriculum exploring how addiction affects the brain, a topic that resonates strongly with our students in today's world. The fidget toys serve as a practical tool to help students manage impulses and maintain focus while learning about the neurological impacts of addiction, fostering both academic and personal growth. Your generosity has not only enhanced our classroom experience but also empowered our students to develop skills that will benefit them beyond the classroom.
