Great Reads
Funded Mar 22, 2024Thank you so much for your gift. I know that my students will greatly enjoy the books. Dozens of students will be able to get the benefit that reading aloud affords.
Using these books will teach children many skills, like onomotapeia, setting, author's purpose, etc. These are all skills that their "regular" classroom teachers teach that I am able to reinforce through reading carefully curated books. Not only will these books enhance their love of books and reading, but it will make these students better writers as well.
Thank you again for your generosity!”

Pop-up Books!
Funded Mar 30, 2023I cannot thank you enough for supplying the library with NEW pop-up books. My students (of all ages) LOVE these books. The students were so happy when I showed them what was in the delivery box (their jaws literally dropped!) They also couldn't believe that "complete strangers" purchased these books for our library. (Perhaps your generosity will inspire them to also help other people in the future?)
Some students finish their work quicker than others. Having a stash of pop-up books available for students to peruse keeps them occupied and reading. In my classes, I also have students who do not speak or understand English. Because pop-up books are so captivating and entrancing, these books can engage anyone who picks one up. Students can see first-hand that books and reading can be awe-inspiring, even if they don't understand the words. We all wonder how pop-up book creators make their amazing books!
Perhaps in some future lesson, students will be able to make pop-up books of their own, and the books that you helped purchase will be the inspiration for their books.
Again, thank you so much for contributing to my pop-up book project. This was my first grant request on Donors Choose, and I am so humbled (like my students) that "complete strangers" funded this project.”
With gratitude,
Ms. Preis
