• For the Love of Reading

  Funded Oct 12, 2023

  Great news! My classroom project for new books has been fully funded. In just a few short weeks, we will have new books to read together. Read aloud time is such an important part of our class time each day. We gather together and read about characters and topics that teach us about ourselves and the world around. Thank you for supporting this time!”

  Thank you for your generous donation! Because of you, my students and I will have a fresh learning environment to begin the year. There will be a brand new calendar on the wall, new bins to store their books, and cool name tags on their desks with their very own name. I can already feel their excitement, and it's truly because of your support. Thank you!”

• For the Love of Reading

  Funded May 19, 2022

  My students spend time reading books of their choice every day in my class. They have specific skills they work on during this time such as making inferences to solve the mystery or identifying the author's message that they can apply to their lives. However, the larger purpose of their independent reading time is to grow a love for reading!

  The books donated through this project have been well loved throughout this school year both during class and at home! Thank you for your help in providing books that my students are so excited to read that they beg to take it home at the end of the day to read over night.

  Two students in particular have created a book club of sorts, choosing a book to read form our donated library and taking turns with each book. After they've both read the book, they take time to discuss the stories. I've watched as their compassion and love of reading as while read and discussing the books you've provided.”

• For the Love of Reading

  Funded Nov 8, 2021

  The books you generously sponsored for our classroom have been placed in a special section of our library that my students have eagerly visited many times over the last several months. The stories they've read from these books have lead to meaningful conversations about kindness and the value of our differences. Many of the books provided through this project have also been utilized as read alouds, especially as we celebrated Black History Month and International Women's Day.

  Two students in particular have created a book club of sorts, choosing a book to read form our donated library and taking turns with each book. After they've both read the book, they take time to discuss the stories. They've taken a particular interest in books that center on refugee and immigrant experiences. I've gotten to see their compassion grow as they've read and discussed these stories.

  Beyond prompting these important conversations and growing compassion, the volume of reading my students are doing this year far surpassed prior years. It's rare that I have the "Dog Man" books or Alan Gratz books on my shelves because a waiting list has formed. Even more, students aren't only reading. They are excited to read. Thank you for being such an important part of our classroom this year and for the years to come. Your generosity is helping create a more compassionate generation to come with the literacy skills to make a difference.”
