Thanks to your generosity, our first-grade students received the Ninja Life Hacks book series — and what a difference these books have made!\r\n\r\nThese engaging stories have quickly become a favorite in our classroom. Each book provides valuable lessons about emotions, self-awareness, and understanding others. Through the relatable \"Ninja\" characters, my students have learned to identify their own feelings, recognize the feelings of others, and appreciate the differences that make each person special.\r\n\r\nI have seen remarkable growth in the way students talk about their emotions and interact with one another. They are using language from the books to express themselves and to show empathy and kindness in their daily interactions. The Ninja Life Hacks series has not only enriched our reading time but has also supported our social-emotional learning in meaningful and lasting ways.\r\n\r\nYour contribution has helped create a more compassionate and understanding classroom community. Thank you for believing in the power of books and for helping my students develop the tools they need to succeed both academically and emotionally.","fullyFundedDate":1754324136824,"projectUrl":"project/1st-grade-ninjas/9477807/","projectTitle":"1st Grade Ninjas","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Shade","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-5_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/10083969"},{"teacherId":7852883,"projectId":9366436,"letterContent":"Thank you!
