Funded Dec 13, 2014Thank you for your generosity and donation to our classroom library. My kids actually screamed when I told them the project was funded and that we were getting new books. Some of my kids were very eager to help me unpack them and stayed after school one day to help me out. They are excited about reading again with all the brand new books in genres that they love. It's wonderful to see the kids enjoying reading with books that are not falling apart, missing pages, or older than their classroom teacher.
This project will really set a standard for how important independent reading is for every child. Everyday we read for 20 minutes during class time and they have 30 minutes of independent reading at home nightly in addition to their homework. The project brought a plethora of books to the classroom as we don't have a public library nearby our school and we do not have a librarian at our school to let children sign out books. It melts my heart when they come to me during their lunch and ask if they can read in my room or sign out new books - all on their own time. Once again, thank you and I hope you will donate again when we post a new project.”
With gratitude,
Mr. Brandt
