It's been a wonderful way to bring children together in a positive, engaging environment. They're excited to explore new stories, share ideas, and build a love for reading that goes beyond the pages.\r\n\r\nWhat's been especially rewarding is seeing how the books are helping bridge language gaps. Spanish-speaking students are using the books to learn and practice English vocabulary, while English-speaking kids often ask their Spanish-speaking friends for help with unfamiliar words or phrases. It's amazing to see the teamwork and mutual support happening naturally—it shows how books can build not only literacy, but also connection and community.","fullyFundedDate":1750170177291,"projectUrl":"project/leeamos-lets-read/9234780/","projectTitle":"Leeamos-Let’s Read","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Guadalupe","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp9757465_orig.jpg?crop=1:1,smart&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1743780646120","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9757465"},{"teacherId":8686229,"projectId":9289653,"letterContent":"I want to extend my heartfelt gratitude for your generous donation to our Life Skills Café Project.
