Because of you, our students now have brand-new Weird But True! books—a long-time student favorite—that have already made a powerful impact on learning and engagement. These books are being used during independent reading time, small-group instruction, and research centers. Students eagerly explore fascinating facts, practice nonfiction text features, and strengthen their reading comprehension while learning information that truly excites them.\r\n\r\nWhen the students first saw the books, their reaction was pure joy. Gasps, smiles, and immediate page-flipping filled the room as students shared surprising facts with one another. Even reluctant readers were instantly drawn in and couldn't wait to start reading. Several students asked if they could read \"just one more page,\" which speaks volumes about their motivation and curiosity.","fullyFundedDate":1762267657404,"projectUrl":"project/weird-but-true/9855068/","projectTitle":"Weird but True!","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. McDermott","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/272x272/tp4007241_272x272.jpg?width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1498495259937","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/r-snead"},{"teacherId":4007241,"projectId":9837131,"letterContent":"Thank you for your generosity and support in helping our students make a meaningful impact in our community. Because of your contributions, our class was able to lead a service project creating care bags for individuals experiencing homelessness, filled with essential items such as hand sanitizer, sunscreen, and tissues. These supplies may seem small, but they meet real needs and show care, dignity, and compassion.\r\n\r\nStudents took ownership of every step of this project. They worked together to sort, count, and group supplies, discuss why each item was important, and assemble the bags with intention and empathy. During this process, students practiced teamwork, problem-solving, and responsibility while learning about community needs and how they can help others. One powerful moment was hearing students explain how sunscreen protects skin or how sanitizer helps keep people healthy, showing a deeper understanding of both health and kindness.\r\n\r\nWhen the materials first arrived, students were excited and proud to know they were trusted with an important task. Many expressed how good it felt to help others and asked thoughtful questions about where the bags would go and who would receive them. Their enthusiasm reinforced how impactful hands-on service learning can be.\r\n\r\nNext, students will reflect on this project through writing and discussion, exploring how small actions can create positive change. We also plan to expand our service-learning efforts by identifying additional community needs and brainstorming future projects. Your support gave our students the opportunity to lead with empathy and purpose, and we are incredibly grateful for your role in this experience.","fullyFundedDate":1761246415340,"projectUrl":"project/helping-hands/9837131/","projectTitle":"Helping Hands","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. McDermott","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/272x272/tp4007241_272x272.jpg?width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1498495259937","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/r-snead"},{"teacherId":10333446,"projectId":9860255,"letterContent":"Thank you for making it possible for my Pre-K students to learn with durable, hands-on materials every day.

They talk about it all week long and work hard to earn their treasures with kind actions. This simple ritual has created a positive classroom culture where students feel proud, responsible, and eager to try their best. It has also helped with routines, transitions, and emotional regulation because they feel motivated and supported.\r\n\r\nYour contribution has made learning feel magical for my tiny learners.
