Each prompt served as an open door, inviting students to think, imagine, and share their perspectives without pressure. Whether the prompt encouraged them to write about personal experiences, invent fictional worlds, or reflect on real-world issues, students felt empowered to put their thoughts on paper and discover the value of their own voices.\r\n\r\nYour donations also brought excitement into our classroom.","fullyFundedDate":1765800138598,"projectUrl":"project/wonderful-writing/9868963/","projectTitle":"Wonderful Writing","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Riddle","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-1_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/5481081"},{"teacherId":8728454,"projectId":9488215,"letterContent":"My students love the new organization in our classroom.
