The Hunger Games........

Funded Feb 26, 2011

Thank you so much for your donations to The Hunger Games project! I received the books in March, and was able to start our unit on the Hunger Games soon theareafter.

My students absolutely loved the book. Many of them are excited to read the next books in the series (Catching Fire & Mockingjay). For many, this is certainly the longest and most involved book that they have ever read. Although we were reading the book as a class, several students even snuck the book home to finish it there.

As you might know, there is a movie of The Hunger Games coming out next year, and some of my students have even expressed concerns such as "I hope they don't change the characters from the book!" For many, I think this is the first time they might actually prefer reading a book to watching TV. Your donation has made these and many other insightful, eye-opening, and exciting moments possible.

Please know that in donating to our project, you have effectively increased the literacy level of my very lucky students. You have also contributed to their love of reading. For some, this love of reading only developed upon their discovery of this book.

Thank you!”

With gratitude,

Ms. Zhavoronkova
