Bringing Books Back
Funded Dec 27, 2021What only took you a few minutes to do, will last a lifetime for my students, thanks to your generosity. The hight interest books my kids received have motivated them to read more. We have brought back DEAR time (Drop Everything And Read at the students' requests, which has not happened in years! Not only have I witnessed more motivation among students, but I am seeing more empathy and more understanding through class discussions. And our classroom library is being treated with much more respect! Instead of down time consisting of discussions about recess, video games, or the latest TikToks, there is a buzz in the room because of these stories! They are invested in the characters and plots! It was the perfect breath of fresh air and I can't wait to see how this year's students will react! Thank you so much!”

Motivating Middle Schoolers
Funded Dec 27, 2019I sincerely thank you for your generous donations from the depths of my teacher soul! My middle schoolers are such reluctant readers that they are often embarrassed reading books that don't "look" cool. Normally it's like pulling teeth to get them to start reading a book! But now, with these high interest/low level books, their motivation will sky rocket! Now I can focus on teaching them HOW to read instead of simply convincing them to read! These books will allow me to teach more effectively and efficiently! Additionally, the benefits of annotating directly in these books will give my students a sense of ownership that they've never before experienced! I can't wait to share these books with them! Thank you so much!”
With gratitude,
Mrs. Denise Bohn
