Your kindness has made a meaningful difference in the lives of young learners who are not only adjusting to the rhythms of school but are also learning English as they go.\r\n\r\nIn my 2nd grade classroom, I work with students from diverse backgrounds—many of whom are navigating the challenges of acquiring a new language while also building their foundational reading and writing skills. The resources you've helped provide are already playing a vital role in helping these students feel welcomed, supported, and encouraged.\r\n\r\nThese tools are more than just materials; they are stepping stones toward confidence, fluency, and a genuine love for learning. I've seen students light up as they engage with items tailored to their needs—feeling proud of their progress and more willing to take risks in both reading and writing.\r\n\r\nYour donation is helping bridge gaps and open doors. It gives every student a better chance to thrive, and for that, I am truly grateful. Thank you for believing in the power of education and for helping to create a classroom where every child feels seen, supported, and capable of success.","fullyFundedDate":1701103810358,"projectUrl":"project/lets-get-creative/7555045/","projectTitle":"Let's get creative!","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Trevizo","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp8497454_orig.jpg?crop=1:1,smart&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1661415878606","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/misstrevizo"},{"teacherId":8497454,"projectId":6694323,"letterContent":"Thank you so much for your generous support of my classroom project!

Every child learns differently, and having the freedom to choose where and how they sit has already sparked a noticeable shift in the classroom. The energy, engagement, and motivation among my students have grown in ways I couldn't have imagined.\r\n\r\nStudents are now entering the classroom with excitement, eager to pick their spot and dive into learning. I've seen increased participation, more focused work, and greater ownership of their learning environment. Something as simple as a different chair or a cozy corner has become a source of pride and joy—and it's all thanks to your support.\r\n\r\nYour contribution goes beyond the physical items—it shows my students that people believe in their success and care about their comfort and well-being. Thank you for investing in their growth and helping me create a classroom where learning feels both dynamic and personal.","fullyFundedDate":1670528802782,"projectUrl":"project/where-will-i-sit-today-new-day-new-lea/6694323/","projectTitle":"Where will I sit today?
