My students were immediately drawn to the stunning illustrations and engaging stories, sparking an enthusiasm for reading that is truly heartening to witness. Having access to such beautiful, durable books makes our reading time feel like a special event, signaling to the students that their learning and their literature are truly valued.\r\n\r\nBeyond their visual appeal, these books are already serving as essential building blocks for our daily language development. We have been using them to dissect complex narrative structures, explore rich new vocabulary, and practice the expressive language skills necessary for clear communication. Seeing a student confidently use a \"fancy\" new word they discovered in one of these stories, or correctly predict a plot twist based on the narrative arc, is a direct result of having these caliber resources at our fingertips.\r\n\r\nUltimately, your generosity is helping me instill a lifelong love of literature in these young learners. You haven't just provided books; you've provided \"mentor texts\" that inspire my students to become better storytellers and more thoughtful readers. Thank you for investing in our classroom and for helping me open up a world of imagination and possibility for my students.","fullyFundedDate":1759626534595,"projectUrl":"project/literature-for-communication/9781307/","projectTitle":"Literature for Communication","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Wilson","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-8_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/legosforstorytelling"},{"teacherId":7387700,"projectId":9772193,"letterContent":"Thank you for your generous support of public education!

Students were so excited when they heard about the new matierals we would be receiving!\r\n\r\nWith the art supplies, we made: block prints, Christmas ornaments, holiday cards, and shape art. My students had so much fun creating their pieces! They especially liked having the opportunity to carve their own rubber stamps, using authentic carving tools.

Another user friendly addition is the artwork hangers along one wall of the classroom that you donated. \r\n\r\nAs to the long jump ropes, the class is now able to jump to twenty five, run-in, in time with teachers turning.
