The smiles on my students' faces as I kept pulling book after book out of the boxes were absolutely priceless. They buzzed with excitement, talking amongst themselves about which books they want to read first, which ones looked interesting, and \"ooooh'd\" and \"ahhh'd\" over others.\r\n\r\nThe impact these books will have on my classroom is immeasurable. They're already sparking a deeper interest in reading, and they're going to broaden my students' learning through the wide variety of topics and genres. The National Geographic books were a huge hit—my students are passionate about science, and those books lit up the room!\r\n\r\nWith such a range of reading levels in my class, I was intentional in selecting books that would meet every student where they are. No one feels left out or behind. Every child can find a book they connect with, and that means everything.\r\n\r\nMy students cannot wait to dive in. Thank you from the bottom of my heart—and from all of my students, too. This donation doesn't just impact our classroom today—it will continue to inspire and support future students for years to come.","fullyFundedDate":1743007112927,"projectUrl":"project/a-revamped-classroom-library/9047646/","projectTitle":"A Revamped Classroom Library","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Skidmore","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp9891230_orig.jpg?crop=522,522,x0,y0&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1736535329588","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9891230"},{"teacherId":5453124,"projectId":8841322,"letterContent":"These books have not only enhanced each child's personal library, but also given them a look at some commonly known events in history.

That way struggling readers get to hear fluent readers daily. Each group reads daily with me, while the other two groups are reading accelerated reader or completing a vocabulary activity.\r\n\r\nSeveral of my reluctant readers read several of these books in the first few days after receiving them.
