Building Book Lovers
Funded Aug 12, 2023On behalf of the entire fourth-grade class, I want to extend our deepest gratitude for your generous donation of books to our classroom library. Your contribution has had a profound impact on each and every one of our students.
The moment we received the books, the excitement in the classroom was palpable. As we unpacked the boxes and explored the new additions to our library, the students' eyes lit up with curiosity and wonder. Your donation not only provided us with an abundance of captivating stories and educational resources but also instilled a renewed enthusiasm for reading among our students.
Since the arrival of your generous gift, I have observed a remarkable transformation in our classroom dynamics. The students have eagerly immersed themselves in the diverse selection of books you provided, eagerly flipping through pages and engaging in lively discussions about the stories they have read. Your donation has not only expanded our literary horizons but has also fostered a sense of camaraderie and shared joy among the students as they bond over their favorite books.”
With gratitude,

This classroom project was brought to life by The Montgomery Family Fund and 9 other donors.Science Books
Funded Feb 21, 2019Thank you so much!
Using these books to teach science really helped my students to visualize concepts. We created a triple Venn diagram comparing the sun, earth, and moon-based on facts from the moon books that you donated! By reading If Sharks Disappeared, my students were able to grasp the effects that losing one organism has on an entire ecosystem!
At the end of the year, my 5th-grade students are required to take a standardized test in science. Teaching science is a very hands-on subject. Incorporating literacy helps them be successful at the end of the year. The books that were donated helped to bridge the hands-on with the end-of-year assessment.
There was not a single student in my classroom who did not enjoy reading those books. However, those struggling students who needed a visual really benefited from having the picture books that were content-related.”
With gratitude,
Ms. Seago
