Your contribution has made it possible for us to create a welcoming and well-organized space where students can easily access books for buddy reading and literacy activities throughout the day. This thoughtful investment is helping us strengthen our students' understanding of story elements like characters, settings, plots, and morals, which are essential parts of their growing literacy skills.\r\n\r\nWith the new shelves and supplies, we can better support students as they identify and describe key story elements using simple phrases and complete sentences, aligned with our first-grade standards. The organized environment encourages more frequent reading and collaboration, allowing students to practice important vocabulary and use sentence starters that guide their language development. Your kindness truly helps us make learning meaningful, engaging, and fun for every child.\r\n\r\nThank you again for empowering our students to become confident readers and storytellers. Your generosity is making a lasting difference in their literacy journey!\r\n\r\nWarm regards,","fullyFundedDate":1734728166680,"projectUrl":"project/setting-up-for-success-joyful-learning/8693646/","projectTitle":"Setting Up for Success & Joyful Learning in First Grade","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Mariano Esquibel","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp6924059_orig.jpg?crop=430,430,x0,y397&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1598747591499","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/6924059"},{"teacherId":3499403,"projectId":8565828,"letterContent":"The equipment that I have received is amazing.
