Because of your kindness, my kindergarten students now have access to high-quality bilingual books that are already making a meaningful impact on their learning and confidence.\r\n\r\nIn our classroom, many students are developing skills in both Spanish and English. These new bilingual books are helping bridge that gap by allowing students to connect new vocabulary to their home language while building literacy skills in English. I have seen students become more engaged during reading time, excited to recognize words they understand, and eager to participate in discussions.\r\n\r\nStudents have especially enjoyed being able to read in the language they feel most comfortable with. This has increased their motivation to read, as they are more confident and willing to take risks when they understand the text. It has been wonderful to see students independently choose these books and share them with their classmates.\r\n\r\nThese books have also created opportunities for students to feel seen and valued. Being able to read stories in both of their languages reinforces their identity and helps them take pride in who they are.\r\n\r\nBecause of your donation, my students are not only improving their reading skills, but they are also building confidence, a love for reading, and a stronger connection between home and school.\r\n\r\nThank you for investing in my students and for making a lasting difference in our classroom.","fullyFundedDate":1764731669285,"projectUrl":"project/bilingual-books-for-kindergarten/9616239/","projectTitle":"Bilingual Books for Kindergarten","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Castillo","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-4_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/10184846"},{"teacherId":7372160,"projectId":9611447,"letterContent":"My students were thrilled to receive the jumbo math and language manipulatives. These oversized materials immediately sparked excitement and made learning playful and engaging.\r\nThe manipulatives also strengthen our grade-level content by helping students build foundational math and literacy skills in a hands-on way.

My heart is full of joy seeing the excitement these resources have brought to my students. From second grade all the way through seventh grade, every student who walks into our Dyslexia classroom is drawn to this special area with the beanbags and composition rug. It has quickly become the most loved spot in the room.\r\n\r\nThe cozy space has transformed the way students engage with learning. Many of them choose this area when reading audiobooks on their laptops, and some even prefer completing lessons here instead of at the kidney table. Having this choice makes them feel comfortable and confident, and I see how it motivates them to participate and enjoy the learning process more fully.\r\n\r\nI cannot express enough gratitude for your kindness. What may seem like a small addition has made a huge impact on my students' joy for learning and their eagerness to come to class each day. Thank you for helping us create a space where my students feel safe, happy, and ready to learn.","fullyFundedDate":1753840493381,"projectUrl":"project/comfy-confident-in-dyslexia-class/9511607/","projectTitle":"Comfy & Confident in Dyslexia Class","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Cruz","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp10099050_orig.jpg?crop=844,844,x52,y0&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1753813579062","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/10099050"},{"teacherId":8490711,"projectId":9118904,"letterContent":"I want to sincerely thank you for your generous support of our project, Resources for Assessments, Collaboration, and Motivation! Your contributions have made a tremendous impact in our classroom.\r\n\r\nBecause of your generosity, my students now have access to individual headphones, stools, and privacy folders that allow them to focus during assessments and truly demonstrate their understanding of the material. These tools help create a more structured and differentiated learning environment, giving each child the opportunity to learn in the way that works best for them.\r\n\r\nBeyond assessments, these resources have also opened the door for meaningful collaboration. Students are engaging in deeper discussions, sharing ideas, and learning from one another in ways that foster both critical thinking and teamwork. It has been inspiring to see them take ownership of their learning and build confidence in expressing their perspectives.\r\n\r\nAdditionally, the motivational incentives—such as recognition, rewards, and birthday celebrations—have helped create a positive classroom culture. Students are not only more enthusiastic about learning, but they also feel valued and supported. Small celebrations and goal-setting opportunities have gone a long way in keeping morale high and making each child feel special.\r\n\r\nIn short, this project has made our classroom a place where students feel seen, motivated, and empowered to succeed. I am deeply grateful for your kindness and investment in their growth. Thank you for helping us create an environment where every student can thrive.","fullyFundedDate":1746785862172,"projectUrl":"project/resources-for-assessments-collaboration/9118904/","projectTitle":"Resources for Assessments, Collaboration, and Motivation!","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Rangel","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp8490711_orig.png?crop=1362,1362,x199,y0&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1659759192225","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/krangel"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_95584","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":1010,"numTeachers":61,"percentFrplEligible":90,"percentAsian":0,"percentBlack":0,"percentWhite":0,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":98,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"Pre-K - 8","studentTeacherRatio":"16.6:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"URBAN","ncesMetroType":"CITY_LARGE"},"inStateSupporters":62.5,"schoolId":95584,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about La Academia De Estrellas Charter School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"La Academia De Estrellas Charter School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/texas/texas-department-of-education/la-academia-de-elementary-schooltrellas-cs/95584"}
