We want to thank you for giving our students such a valuable tool for learning and growing.\r\n\r\nThe bilingual picture dictionaries have helped us introduce a number of key skills beyond just vocabulary. Our students are developing strong cognitive connections by associating words with vibrant images in both their home language and English. This dual-language support reinforces their native language while scaffolding their transition into English. We also see students using the dictionaries to build independence, as they can look up words and confirm their understanding on their own. This has been a huge boost to their self-confidence.\r\n\r\nReading in our classroom is no longer just about text; it's a visual and interactive experience. During independent reading time, they use the dictionaries as a reference tool to help them understand and engage with books they might otherwise find too challenging. The books have transformed reading from a potentially frustrating task into a fun, explorative activity.\r\n\r\nThank you again for your donation!","fullyFundedDate":1755731665172,"projectUrl":"project/words-around-the-world-bilingual-dictio/9519283/","projectTitle":"Words Around the World: Bilingual Dictionaries for Growing Minds","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Soler","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp5716654_orig.jpg?crop=362,362,x0,y62&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1736864782905","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/msolerell"},{"teacherId":5716654,"projectId":9519110,"letterContent":"Your donation greatly impacted our students.

The new resources—the markers, copy paper, small whiteboard easels, folders, and incentives—have been fantastic for creating an active, engaging, and low-pressure environment for our small-group instruction. We are using them to set goals towards learning new vocabulary and improving language proficiency scores. The students were immediately engaged by the colorful markers and the novelty of having their own small whiteboard easels. The markers and whiteboards brought a sense of fun and play to the learning environment. They were eager to grab a marker and start drawing or writing. Giving each student their own folder to keep their work organized provided a clear sense of ownership and responsibility. They understood that these materials were a valuable part of their learning process. The whiteboards, in particular, helped reduce students' fear of making mistakes. When they misspell a word, they can simply wipe it away and try again, making them more willing to experiment with new vocabulary. \r\n\r\nYour kindness has impacted many of my students at time when they need it the most and we really can not thank you enough!","fullyFundedDate":1746533134997,"projectUrl":"project/unlocking-language-igniting-success-es/9311070/","projectTitle":"Unlocking Language, Igniting Success: Essential Supplies for Ell Scholars","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Soler","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp5716654_orig.jpg?crop=362,362,x0,y62&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1736864782905","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/msolerell"},{"teacherId":9696694,"projectId":9305803,"letterContent":"On behalf of the first grade students and myself, I want to extend our heartfelt thanks for your generous donation of our recording devices. \r\n\r\nThese tools are closing the gap between thought and written expression.\r\n\r\nYour support is helping students to find their voices, literally and figuratively as they develop essential writing skills.
