The new books have transformed our reading time, opening up exciting opportunities to teach essential skills like identifying theme, analyzing character development, and making text-to-self connections. Titles like Front Desk and The Wild Robot have sparked deep conversations about empathy, resilience, and belonging—topics that resonate powerfully with our students. These texts help students move beyond just decoding words to truly engaging with stories on a personal and critical level.\r\n\r\nIn our classroom, reading is a vibrant, shared experience. During independent reading, students curl up in cozy nooks, journals in hand, eagerly annotating or sketching scenes from their books. In small groups, we discuss author's craft, infer characters' motivations, and compare books across genres. A few students have especially thrived with these additions—Amira, for instance, devoured Ghost in two days and now leads a lunch book club where she and her classmates discuss each chapter. Meanwhile, Mateo, who was previously reluctant to read, found a connection with the main character in Because of Mr. Terupt and is now volunteering to read aloud during class. These books haven't just filled our shelves—they've helped us build a true community of readers. Thank you for making that possible.","fullyFundedDate":1743865851451,"projectUrl":"project/books-a-billion/9119938/","projectTitle":"Books a Billion","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Medina","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp6168616_orig.jpg?crop=1:1,smart&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1739938758732","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/ms-hajducek"},{"teacherId":9632322,"projectId":9068821,"letterContent":"These materials were such an incredible resource to have while we finished out the year strong, making work for our big school events - including our Art Show!

Before this project, our classroom was a book desert. As a Title 1 school, many of my students don't have access to books at home, and our classroom lacked the essential resource of a library. Independent reading time was a struggle, often filled with students staring at blank pages or re-reading the same few worn-out books. Now, thanks to your generous donations, the shelves are overflowing with a diverse collection of engaging titles. My students' faces light up when they get to choose a book to keep, to read at their own pace, and to add to their personal collection. The excitement is palpable; the room buzzes with chatter about favorite characters and plot twists. You've not only filled our shelves with books, but you've also filled our classroom with a love of reading.\r\n\r\nThe impact of this project extends far beyond just filling a shelf. It's about fostering a lifelong love of reading, building literacy skills, and igniting imaginations. My students are developing a sense of ownership over their reading experiences, becoming more confident and enthusiastic readers. They eagerly share their book recommendations with each other, creating a vibrant reading community within our classroom. The ability to choose their own books has empowered them, fostering independence and a sense of pride in their reading abilities. Your kindness has transformed our classroom into a place where reading is celebrated, cherished, and accessible to all. We are incredibly grateful for your support in making this dream a reality for my students. Thank you for investing in their futures and opening up a world of possibilities through the power of reading.","fullyFundedDate":1734099464865,"projectUrl":"project/build-a-bookworms-paradise/8848426/","projectTitle":"Build a Bookworm's Paradise","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Medina","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp6168616_orig.jpg?crop=1:1,smart&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1739938758732","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/ms-hajducek"},{"teacherId":9252824,"projectId":8573721,"letterContent":"At the start of every year, students are required to take their formal reading assessments, we then reassess at the middle and end of the year.
