When my students first saw the materials, their faces lit up—they immediately began choosing which \"new toys\" to explore, and their genuine enthusiasm showed just how meaningful these resources would be. One of my favorite moments so far was when a student asked if reading a new book could be his reinforcer for working hard during therapy. In a world filled with screens, seeing my students fall in love with reading has been truly amazing.\r\n\r\nWith these resources, we're now able to dive deeper into language-rich activities like story retelling, sequencing, describing characters, and building vocabulary. For my articulation students, the books provide the perfect opportunity to practice target sounds in sentences and connected speech, helping them carry their skills into real conversations. The fact that my students now walk in asking, \"What book are we using today?\" shows the lasting impact these materials are already making.","fullyFundedDate":1760763405889,"projectUrl":"project/communicating-through-reading/9830715/","projectTitle":"Communicating Through Reading","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Maddy","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp10312842_orig.jpg?crop=1:1,smart&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1764531040998","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/10312842"},{"teacherId":7655032,"projectId":8262811,"letterContent":"Thanks to your generous support, our dual mailbox systems have truly transformed the organization and flow of our bilingual classrooms. Before this project, students often spent extra time searching for materials or transitioning between language blocks. Now, with clearly designated mailboxes for both Spanish and English segments, transitions are smooth and efficient. Students know exactly where to find and return their materials, which has created a calmer, more structured learning environment.\r\n\r\nThe mailboxes have also encouraged independence and responsibility among our bilingual learners. Each student takes ownership of keeping their materials organized, which helps them feel more confident and prepared for learning in both languages. This organization has allowed us to maximize instructional time and keep our focus on language development and academic growth.\r\n\r\nYour contribution has made a lasting difference in our classrooms. You didn't just fund storage—you helped create a bridge between two languages and two learning spaces. Because of your support, our students are better equipped to thrive as bilingual learners.
