The new books you helped provide are not only beautiful and engaging, but they're also meaningful tools for building our students' reading comprehension, critical thinking, and empathy. We've used these texts to explore theme, characterization, and author's craft—and they've become springboards for deep class discussions, creative projects, and personal reflection. Many students have found themselves in these pages, while others have had their eyes opened to new experiences and perspectives.\r\n\r\nReading in our classroom is a joyful, daily routine. We start each day with a few minutes of independent reading, and our students are now excited to pull books off the shelves. I've watched quiet readers come alive during literature circles and hesitant writers find their voice through connections with the characters they read about. One student who previously struggled to stay engaged during reading time now races to grab a new graphic novel each week, while another has proudly taken on the role of \"book recommender\" for her classmates.\r\n\r\nYour donation made more than a difference—it sparked a culture of reading. These books aren't just sitting on a shelf; they're in students' hands, opening doors and lighting a fire for learning. From the bottom of our hearts, thank you.","fullyFundedDate":1727967818986,"projectUrl":"project/take-a-look-its-in-a-book/8485856/","projectTitle":"Take a Look, It's in a Book!","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Carlson","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp8027166_orig.jpg?crop=1:1,smart&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1646800574845","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/8027166"},{"teacherId":8027166,"projectId":8337611,"letterContent":"Thanks to your support, our students have been able to dive into The Marrow Thieves, exploring themes of identity, resilience, and cultural survival. This novel has sparked deep discussions about Indigenous perspectives, historical injustices, and the power of storytelling—skills that go beyond the classroom and encourage critical thinking and empathy.\r\n\r\nIn our Honors English Book Clubs, reading is an active and collaborative experience. Students engage in literary analysis, connect themes to real-world issues, and participate in meaningful discussions that help them develop their voices. They annotate, debate, and reflect, making the text come alive in ways that encourage a deeper understanding of diverse perspectives in literature.\r\n\r\nOne student, in particular, shared how this book changed the way they see Native American history, realizing how much has been left out of traditional curriculum. Another student, who usually prefers fantasy novels, was captivated by the novel's dystopian elements and surprised by how much they connected with the characters' struggles and triumphs.\r\n\r\nYour generosity has not only put books in students' hands but has also opened their minds and hearts to new experiences, perspectives, and voices.
