  • Parable of the Sower - a Modern Classic

    Funded Feb 7, 2024

    What an honor! Thank you so much for your support. I know my students will deeply enjoy these classic novels.

    Being able to see their world in any text -- modern or not -- reflected back to them in new, unique ways is always a treat in the classroom.

    These novels will be with my students for years, and years and it's thanks to the support of donors like you.

    I hope these novels touch countless lives and I am excited to make these connections this school year!

    You support is ever-appreciated, thank you again!”

    With gratitude,

    Mr. Horstmann

    This classroom project was brought to life by A Northern California Family and 4 other donors.
  • Connecting Graphic Novels to Literature

    Funded Nov 29, 2023

    Thank you so much for your support! It means to world to me and my students!

    My students are eagerly awaiting their graphic novel book club unit!

    They have asked multiple times to take sneak peaks of the sets.

    Seeing their curiosity and excitement is what this is all about! I have so much success with reading engagement with graphic novels with even the least-likely of students! It always a pleasure to see any student engaged with a piece of text no matter what format it is presented in.

    Thank you again!”

    With gratitude,

    Mr. Horstmann

    This classroom project was brought to life by The DonorsChoose Community and one other donor.
  • History with a Social Justice Lens

    Funded Nov 3, 2022

    Thank you so much for your contribution. My students are very excited to dive into this text set. Several have asked when they will get to have access to these books. It will really add a new layer to understanding their history curriculum. I hope as they grow they will look back on this unit and make more and more connections to their lives via what they learn at this formative age. Thank you again for your kindness, it really does brighten the days of hundreds of students in my community.
