Your contribution is not just a donation; it is an investment in the education and cultural enrichment of our students, and its impact will resonate for years to come.\r\n\r\n Your commitment to enhancing the learning experience for our students is truly commendable. With your support, we have been able to provide our Spanish learners with a valuable resource that not only aids in language acquisition but also offers a unique window into expanding their literacy acquisition in both languages: English and Spanish.\r\n \r\n \"Colección de Histórias Divertidas\" provides students with stand alone short stories that can be easily incorporated in a day's lesson. Students can choose which story to read as a group, and hold group discussions. These group discussions are mainly done in English in the level 1, but offer the basis for a deeper task by level 3 using just Spanish. The stories are captivating, funny and helps students to be exposed to language beyond their textbooks. Through this literary journey, students not only enhance their language skills but also rescue their love for reading long lost after they exited elementary school.\r\n Your generosity has empowered us to create an environment that fosters a love for reading, civil discussion, learning and cultural understanding. The impact of your donation extends beyond the classroom, influencing the academic and personal growth of each student who encounters \"Colección de Histórias Divertidas\".\r\n Once again, thank you for making a difference in the lives of our students. Your belief in the power of education and cultural exchange is transforming our classrooms into vibrant spaces of learning and discovery.","fullyFundedDate":1744290656627,"projectUrl":"project/reading-is-fun-even-if-in-a-second-lang/9121722/","projectTitle":"Reading Is Fun… Even if in a Second Language :)","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Carey","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-6_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9927531"},{"teacherId":8990905,"projectId":8966935,"letterContent":"I would like to take the time to express gratitude to all those who donated to the 1st Annual Shades of Red Culture Day at FCHS.
