The new supplies updated the old materials that makes it so much easier for the kids to work. And the colorful stools motivate them to do their work at the kidney table.\r\n\r\nThey have been filling the wall with colorful notes that address what kindness means to each of them. These K-3rd grade intervention children take the \"Kindness Pledge\" every day before we get to work\r\n\r\nThey love discussing and writing about how kindness makes a difference in their lives, and what they do everyday to be a kinder person. \r\n\r\nWith these resources,the children became active participants in spreading kindness, and the impact was amazing. They felt motivated, engaged, and empowered to create a positive change in our school.

You can literally feel the excitement when students spot a shiny, uncracked spine or the latest release in their favorite series sitting on the display shelf. It stops being just a routine library visit and turns into a treasure hunt. It gets them genuinely excited to open a book, which is the secret to helping them fall in love with reading for fun, not just for an assignment.\r\n\r\nBut it's about more than just the excitement of a new cover; it's about connection. Adding new titles helps us ensure that our collection actually looks like the world our students live in. Modern children's books are doing an amazing job of telling diverse stories, and it is so important for our kids to find characters who look and live like they do, while also getting a peek into lives different from their own. When we keep our shelves stocked with current stories, we aren't just giving them something to read; we're giving them a way to understand their friends and themselves a little better. It keeps the library feeling like the heartbeat of the school—a welcoming place where everyone belongs.","fullyFundedDate":1768681339616,"projectUrl":"project/books-for-our-school-library/10021027/","projectTitle":"Books for Our School Library","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Golightly","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp9410171_orig.jpg?crop=307,307,x492,y176&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1769197980167","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9410171"},{"teacherId":3280903,"projectId":9377599,"letterContent":"Thank you so much for your wonderful donation to my classroom.\r\n\r\n If you were to come in you can see my intervention table all set up with a computer chair and materials neatly organized in metal organizers thanks to your donation.

Students are setting personal reading goals, journaling reflections, and engaging more deeply with texts than ever before.
