  • A Midsummer Reading

    Funded Jan 17, 2024

    I can't thank you enough for your generous donation to our classroom. My first goal in the class is to help my students enjoy learning. And I feel like when I can create these interactive experiences for them. It makes the learning process not only fun, but so much easier. It also helps you invest my students in their own learning and that really is the goal. Again, thank you for your generosity. Myself and my students are incredibly grateful.

    You have made an impact - a lasting impact and you have helped to create an experience my students will remember fondly forever!”

    With gratitude,

    Mrs. Decker

    You are an absolute donating angel and have made such an impact overall for my classroom and most importantly for my students.

    Thank you for showing my students that people truly care about their learning and want to show them the importance of being a student, a reader, and a scholar. Thank you for showing them it is okay to have fun in school! And thank you for being an absolute angel investor.”

  • Book Clubs Are Essential

    Funded Nov 30, 2023

    Book clubs and discussions have been a truly integral part of my teaching practices. My students get to choose a text and read with their peers - have weekly discussions about pertinent ideas in the novels and making those connections to real-world issues and problems in 2023.

    These books in particular that you funded will be added to my book club unit in my senior classes and I know the impact these texts will have will be felt in my classes for years to come.

    Thank you for showing my students such kindness and showing my students that other people also believe choice reading is important.”

  • Books Make Us Better

    Funded Nov 28, 2023

    I don't have enough words to thank you! I am so passionate about helping students find the right book to read one that speaks fo them! And in order to do that I need an abundance in my classroom library so that every single student is able to find a mirror of themselves.

    I also wholeheartedly believe that there is no student who doesn't like reading, they just haven't found the right book yet. And with all of these donations I am much more likely to be able to help every single one of my students find the right book.

    So much appreciation!”

  • Mysteries, Thrillers, and Suspense Oh My!

    Funded Nov 14, 2023

    Every day in class, my students get to choose any book they want to read silently for 15 minutes. Every day, high school students, are quiet and reading. And honestly, it has become my most valued part of our day.

    Your incredible and generous donation has now become a part of our daily reading time. Your donation will add many, high-interest, contemporary novels to our classroom library. Books where students can find narrators just like them, or read about stories completely unlike their own. Both are valuable and necessary.

    Thank you for becoming a part of providing students with choice in their reading and a part of creating lifelong readers.”

  • Be a Part of Our Classroom Library!

    Funded Jun 24, 2023

    I am always so humbled by the generosity of donations to my classroom projects. My passion in my class is choice reading, and my goal is to try and find a book every single student will enjoy. I want my juniors and seniors in high school to read again, not for answers to a study guide but simply for the enjoyment of reading.

    With your amazing donation, about 25 books were added to our classroom library and you will not become a part of the process of finding exactly the right book for students.

    Again thank you. I appreciate your donation so much and so will students for years to come.”

    This classroom project was brought to life by SONIC Foundation and 4 other donors.
My goal as an English teacher is to help foster and develop a love of reading and novels. Many of my students have not read a book of their own choosing ever. Students who read contemporary, high interest, and culturally relevant novels will find more enjoyment in the words and connection to themselves. Reading just 20 minutes a day increases vocabulary, reading stamina, and helps on standardized tests. My students and book club members will be so grateful to get their hands on these novels. I have also started a Project Lit book club in my high school and these novels will be used for that purpose too! The goal is to foster a book club with students, teachers, administrators, parents, and community member all sitting around and discussing the same novel.
