Books and Girl Power!
Funded Sep 22, 2019Thank you so much for contributing to this project. My goal with this project was to supplement my library, so that the girls in my class would feel engaged with their independent reading material. I am here to let you all know that it has been a success! I am delighted to report that both the girls and boys in my class been reading and talking about these books, from Cam Jansen to Babysitter's club. In the past couple months, every single student in my class has finished at least one of the books we received through this project. Some of my students have read almost all of them! Thank you all so much for making this possible!”

What Do Kids Want to Read?
Funded Nov 6, 2019Thank you so much for donating to this project. My students will be so excited to see the new books added to the library. Children's books continue to change over time, just like our students. It is important for us teachers to keep our libraries updated so that our students find books with which they can relate. Thank you for making that possible!”

Living in the Land of Stories
Funded Oct 18, 2017It has been a few months since we received our boxes of books from Donor's Choose. The moment my students saw the packages in the classroom, the whispers of, "are those the books...?" quickly grew into cheers and whoops of, "the books are here!" They were ecstatic. The students knew that they could choose to read silently when they finished their classwork early, so on that day (and most days thereafter) my students focused and zipped through their classwork so that they could squeeze in a few more minutes of reading time per day.
Since then, we've had a variety of discussions regarding the books. We've talked about which literary worlds we'd like to visit, and some students have even written fan-fiction using their favorite characters from these stories. As of now, every student in my classroom has read at least a few books from this donor's choose project. Some of my students have read every single book that was donated, and are eagerly waiting for the next books in Dragon Masters and Notebook of Doom. My students continue to read voraciously every day, and I am so grateful that you all made this possible.
Thank you all for helping fill my classroom library with great books, and for fostering a new generation of readers.”
With gratitude,
Mr. Lim
