Having a classroom that nurtures their resilience and love of learning is incredibly important, and your contribution helps make that possible.\r\n\r\nBecause of your donation, we now have access to the colored ink that will bring our lessons to life. This may seem like a small resource, but for my students, it opens the door to more engaging and meaningful learning experiences. With color-coded activities, graphic organizers, vibrant anchor charts, science diagrams, and organized portfolios, I can create materials that help students better understand, stay focused, and feel truly connected to what they're learning. For my visual learners especially, the use of color transforms abstract ideas into something clear and accessible.\r\n\r\nYour support helps us build a classroom where every student feels included, motivated, and excited to learn. Thank you for believing in my students and investing in their growth.

The first day they walked in and saw the materials, their eyes lit up—several students immediately asked, \"Do we get to use that today?\" It was a true moment of excitement and curiosity.\r\nWe've already begun putting the resources into action. For example, during a recent lesson, students worked in small groups using the materials to build models and explain their thinking. One student, who is usually quiet, took the lead in showing her group how to use the tools to solve a problem. This not only boosted her confidence but also showed her peers a new way of approaching the task.\r\nThe impact goes beyond just one day. These resources are now a daily part of our classroom routines, giving students hands-on opportunities to explore, collaborate, and deepen their learning. Your support has helped make lessons more interactive and engaging, turning concepts that once felt abstract into something tangible and fun.\r\nAs for what's next, we are currently working on a project where students will apply what they've learned to create real-world solutions. They'll be using these same resources to design, test, and present their ideas to the class. This step will allow them to not only demonstrate their understanding but also practice important skills like teamwork, problem-solving, and communication.\r\nYour kindness has given my students the chance to see themselves as capable learners and leaders. We are so grateful that you believed in us and helped bring these opportunities to life.","fullyFundedDate":1746786195533,"projectUrl":"project/first-year-teacher-in-a-spanish-dual-imm/9187963/","projectTitle":"First Year Teacher in a Spanish Dual Immersion Classroom","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Herrera","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-2_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9971942"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_94034","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":811,"numTeachers":39,"percentFrplEligible":88,"percentAsian":0,"percentBlack":0,"percentWhite":8,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":90,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"K - 6","studentTeacherRatio":"20.8:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"TOWN","ncesMetroType":"RURAL_FRINGE"},"inStateSupporters":56.8,"schoolId":94034,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about El Camino Real Elementary School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"El Camino Real Elementary School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/california/arvin-union-school-district/el-camino-real-elementary/94034"}
