  • Building Student Knowledge Through Comprehensible Input

    Thank you so much for all your help. We truly appreciate all of it. My students will enjoy using the Voces resource to enhance their verbal, written, and interpretive communication skills. We will be much more productive in class and outside of class. The students will be able to watch interviews they understand, work on activities they learn from, and learn about culture from other countries.”

    Wow my students are super excited to see the new prizes we have. They are much more willing to participate and collaborate together. The prizes are wonderful incentives for students to actively engage in their Learning process. Your help and dedication to our students is tremendously helpful.

The students look forward d to coming to class and engage in a variety of of activities with their classmates and me.”

  • Providing Students With Access to Real-World Experiences

    Funded Oct 17, 2024

    Wow your help is always greatly appreciated. My students absolutely love Vocesdigital.com They enjoy the books we read on the program and the activities we do as a class, in partners and in groups. They say vocesdigital.com is much easier to understand and that it helps them learn new words and review the Hispanic culture.

    The students enjoy the videos they watch and find them much more relatable and engaging. They especially like the personalized questions they ask eachother when I have them stand up and move around to ask each other. Some students have found vocesdigital.com much more conducive to their learning and have improved their grades because they find it more approachable than our other curriculum.

    Again many thank for all your generosity, you have made this year a lot less challenging for my students.”

  • A Bookcase and More

    Funded May 21, 2024

    I appreciate your help. My students and I will use the bookcase to keep the books we love to read well organized and the art supplies in cubby holes. My students love to read books in Spanish and find it exciting when they learn something new to share with their classmates. The bookcase will make it easier to keep the books well taken care of.

    My students were very excited when they saw the bookcase, the notebooks and the other items. they also enjoy writing about the books they read in the new notebooks which helps inspire my students to read more. I have students who enjoy putting things together and the bookcase will help maintain an organized classroom.”

  • Books Galore

    Funded May 9, 2023

    Wow your donation has helped my students enjoy reading again. They are motivated to read the books we received in Spanish and can't wait to continue reading the books. We are able to create comic books with the stories we read and the students are able to act out the various books in front of the class. This is something the students have the most fun with, as it sparks their creativity and helps them build more positive relationships with each other. We read the books as a class and individually as well as in partners, they seem to enjoy the books most when we act out the books as a class.

    The books helps the students build on their Spanish language acquisition skills. We are able to compare our own experiences to that of the characters in the books as well. Students who would normally not engage with other activities seem to enjoy retelling the stories they are reading through their own comic books which helps with engagement.

    We really appreciate all you do for our students.”

  • Come One Come All For Our Mascaraed of Masks

    Funded Nov 21, 2021

    This year has been filled with challenges for us and we have tried our best to manage. We have had to face a lack of teachers and other staff in every aspect of our lives. We have gotten through it and appreciate all of your support and dedication. We would have many more challenges if it had not been for you. I have a diverse group of students who try their best in the face of adversity and they genuinely care for each other.

    They enjoyed the masks and pens and tried their best to come to class on time and participate in all of their classes. We are using the materials as prizes and the students seem much more motivated to participate when I provide them with incentives.

    The students were very excited when the saw the materials we received from you. They tried to participate more readily when they received the opportunity to win a price. This helps them to engage and interact more with the language they are learning as well. We plan to play games and provide incentives for participation, for example a homework pass or stickers.”

    Mrs. Virginia Belen Hernandez

  • Better Sound

    Funded Dec 2, 2020

    Wow you have gone above and beyond the call of duty. It is thanks to people like you that our students can have an opportunity to actively engage in our classes. Since I was able to provide many of my students with the headphones you purchased, my students are able to more actively collaborate in zoom meetings. They are able to participate and avoid distractions while zooming from home. We have had many many challenges and have had to modify many things in order to for us to best serve our students. Your continued support of students is so tremendously needed and appreciated.

    The head phones have provided students with the necessary tools to learn during a time of uncertainty. At this time we do not know what tomorrow will bring, but my students know they can count on donors like you who are willing to step up and help us improve our learning in various ways.”

My students enjoy doing art projects and due to lack of funds we rarely have the opportunity. If funded the students would have an opportunity to be immersed in the Hispanic culture and it would spark their interest in learning more about it. The students would be able to create Peruvian ponchos that are used in Argentina, Chile, Colombia, Ecuador, Guatemala, and Mexico. They would learn about the ponchos and do research about the origin and the purpose of the poncho. The students would have an opportunity to compare and contrast the ponchos made in Latin America in comparison to the ones they create in the classroom. The students would also have an opportunity to create a Carnaval mask similar to the ones from Latin America. These projects would engage and immerse my students into the Hispanic Culture. They would come to class more willing to work and have access to unique activities opening their horizons.
