Rev Up With the American Revolution
Funded Mar 4, 2014I want to thank you all again for your generosity.
My students were so excited when I told them about the books we were going to get, and were elated when the books arrived! They all crowded around me as I opened the box, eager to see the new books they were going to be able to finally get their hands on!
My students immediately started to read the American Revolution books, even though we are no longer studying the event. They are so interested and engaged that their curiosity has continued on past the American Revolution unit.
Now that we have more books on the topic, my students will be able to get a better understand of all of the aspects of the American Revolution-- which events led up to the War, how all different types of people added to the cause, and how our country was shaped by all of these events.
Once again, thank you so much for helping us out and expanding our knowledge about the American Revolution!”
With gratitude,

New York State of Mind
Funded Aug 14, 2011I cannot thank you enough for your generous donations that have brought all of these wonderful, engaging, and exciting books into my Fourth Grade classroom. My students, as well as myself, have been using these books on a daily basis. They have been an extremely helpful resource, particularly in the non-fiction reading and research units of study we have been taking part in.
As a lover of history, it has been wonderful seeing my students so engaged in the books about New York history that you helped bring into our classroom. Whether they are reading about the construction of the Brooklyn Bridge or the history of Ellis Island, the students have been devouring the books! We are all tremendously grateful for your kindness and generosity. ”
With gratitude,
