Many of my students are still developing their English skills, and before this, there were moments of frustration when they couldn't fully express their thoughts or understand directions. Now, they are able to participate more confidently, ask questions in real time, and engage more deeply with lessons. It has helped remove a barrier that once made school feel overwhelming for some of them.\r\n\r\nWhat has been most exciting is seeing the shift in student confidence. They are eager to use the device; whether it's to clarify instructions, contribute to class discussions, or even connect socially with their peers. It's no longer just about understanding the content; it's about feeling included and capable. The device has become a tool for independence, allowing students to advocate for themselves in ways they couldn't before.\r\n\r\nOne of the most meaningful changes has been with a few of my quieter students who used to hesitate to participate. With the translator, they've found their voice. They are raising their hands more, collaborating with classmates, and even taking risks in their learning. It's been incredibly rewarding to watch them grow more comfortable and confident. Your support has made a direct and lasting impact, and I am so grateful for the opportunities this has created for my students.","fullyFundedDate":1769527476098,"projectUrl":"project/helping-immigrant-students-learn-english/9852605/","projectTitle":"Helping Immigrant Students Learn English","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Daly","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-9_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/10326877"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_46340","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":282,"numTeachers":31,"percentFrplEligible":60,"percentAsian":3,"percentBlack":16,"percentWhite":33,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":34,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"Pre-K - 5","studentTeacherRatio":"9.1:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"URBAN","ncesMetroType":"CITY_LARGE"},"inStateSupporters":70.2,"schoolId":46340,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Lanier Elementary School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Lanier Elementary School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/florida/hillsborough-county-public-school-district/lanier-elementary-school/46340"}
