The Junie B. Jones books have quickly become a beloved part of our dismissal routine. Each afternoon, the children eagerly anticipate reading a new chapter, and it is truly heartwarming to see their excitement and growing love for reading.\r\n\r\nThe finger grips have also made a noticeable difference. Handwriting is such an important skill in first grade, and these tools have given many of my students the confidence and support they need to do their best work. The word family flip books and writing puzzles have been especially meaningful for my English language learners, offering them engaging ways to strengthen their academic skills.\r\n\r\nOne of the most impactful additions has been the privacy shields. Many students have found that having a personal workspace helps them stay focused during independent tasks. The sense of independence and accountability they've developed has been wonderful to see.\r\n\r\nOur next goal is to continue putting books directly into students' hands. Our read-alouds have opened their eyes to a world of stories, and we hope to provide them with even more opportunities to access books across all formats.\r\n\r\nWe are deeply grateful for your generosity. Your support is making a lasting difference in our classroom, and we cannot thank you enough.","fullyFundedDate":1760226366893,"projectUrl":"project/little-learners-big-readers-helping-fi/9769316/","projectTitle":"Little Learners, Big Readers: Helping First Graders Shine","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Peleg","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp10291879_orig.jpg?crop=1:1,smart&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1759103319531","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/10291879"},{"teacherId":5034398,"projectId":9250661,"letterContent":"I am writing to express my deepest gratitude for your incredibly generous donation of the 3D printer and supplies to my DonorsChoose project!

Flashcards serve as invaluable visual aids, offering a direct link between a new English word and a corresponding image. This visual representation significantly aids comprehension, especially for students who are still building their vocabulary and may not yet grasp abstract definitions. The portability and interactive nature of flashcards allow for dynamic activities, from simple vocabulary recall to engaging games that reinforce learning in a fun and memorable way.   \r\n\r\nEducational posters strategically placed around the classroom provide a constant source of visual support. These posters, displaying key vocabulary, grammatical structures, or common phrases, act as silent teachers, offering ongoing reinforcement and reference points for ESL learners. They create an immersive language-rich environment where students are continually exposed to English, fostering a sense of familiarity and building confidence. The visual nature of posters caters to diverse learning styles, ensuring that students who learn best through seeing have consistent access to the information they need, ultimately contributing to a more inclusive and effective learning experience for everyone.","fullyFundedDate":1746465597021,"projectUrl":"project/math-is-fun/9297660/","projectTitle":"Math is Fun","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Foley","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp10008940_orig.png?crop=830,830,x32,y0&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1745963572097","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/10008940"},{"teacherId":3077177,"projectId":8607060,"letterContent":"Thank you so much!
