Because of your generosity, my first graders now have access to engaging, high-quality books that they are already so excited to read.\r\n\r\nWe received incredible titles including *The Day the Crayons Made Friends*, *Home in a Lunchbox*, *We Got Game! 35 Female Athletes Who Changed the World*, *Don't Let the Pigeon Stay Up Late!*, and *Begin Again: How We Got Here and Where We Might Go*. These books bring such a beautiful mix of humor, history, perseverance, creativity, and representation into our classroom.\r\n\r\nMy students are especially drawn to books that make them laugh and think, and titles like *Don't Let the Pigeon Stay Up Late!* immediately sparked giggles and conversation. *We Got Game!* is already helping us talk about determination and strong female role models, while *Home in a Lunchbox* opens meaningful discussions about culture and belonging — something so important in a primary classroom.\r\n\r\nAs a first-grade teacher, building a love of reading is one of my biggest goals. When students see themselves reflected in stories, learn about inspiring people, and fall in love with characters, reading becomes joyful — not just something we \"have to\" do. Your support helps make that possible.\r\n\r\nBecause of you, our classroom library continues to grow into a space where every child can find a book that feels just right.\r\n\r\nThank you for investing in our readers. Your generosity truly makes a difference every single day.","fullyFundedDate":1760042340778,"projectUrl":"project/building-hearts-and-minds-sel-diversi/9735413/","projectTitle":"Building Hearts and Minds: SEL & Diversity Through Books","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Lily Schlabaugh","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp8517940_orig.jpg?crop=1067,1067,x0,y199&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1657122898136","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/8517940"},{"teacherId":8517940,"projectId":9134636,"letterContent":"This was such a fun project!

By giving them these new materials, it allowed them to continue to play- the most important kind of learning!\r\nThank you so much.","fullyFundedDate":1741043789588,"projectUrl":"project/building-a-cozy-creative-classroom-for/9134636/","projectTitle":"Building a Cozy, Creative Classroom for First Graders","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Lily Schlabaugh","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp8517940_orig.jpg?crop=1067,1067,x0,y199&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1657122898136","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/8517940"},{"teacherId":8517940,"projectId":7009139,"letterContent":"Thank you so much for your generous support of our classroom through �ǿմ�ý!
