Funded Dec 25, 2019I was over the moon to find that our entire project was funded. The books were labeled and ready to use quickly. Each night the children take home a book to read with their families. Each morning the students check their book back in enabling them to take a new one home that afternoon. The children man the check-in and check-out system and have been very good about returning the books each day.
Some of the books have become class favorites. Some are loved for their clever story lines and some are loved because of their illustrations. I have heard from many of the families that they loved a particular book so much that they went out and bought it, not wanting to wait until it cycled back to them in the book rotation.
The students talk to each other about the stories, recommend titles to others, and have increased the time spent with families with a singular focus.
Thank you so much for the gift of the books and the gift the children have of their parents attention and conversation each night.”
With gratitude,
