A Book Is A Gift You Can Continuously Open

Funded Feb 6, 2020

I am writing this letter to thank you for your generous donation to my student's education. The money you donated was used to purchase 28 picture books for our classroom library. These books are being used for me to read aloud to the class and for the students to check out and read individually.

I decided to do a Donors Choose to help my struggling readers in the classroom. As many of you know, across the nation, students are struggling with reading on grade level. Our school has several students that have been diagnosed with Dyslexia tendencies and/or reading at the appropriate grade level.

Therefore, in October third grade teachers attended a training on a new 3D Reading curriculum. Since we have returned from this training, we have started implementing the curriculum in our classroom and the students love it. This curriculum encompasses teaching students how to connect the sounds of letters to real life objects. All of the picture books that were purchased with your donations allow me to show students examples of these letters/words in print.

Again, thank you so much for your support of my third graders and our classroom!”

With gratitude,

Mrs. Weston
