My students and I are incredibly grateful for the funding that allowed us to receive these new materials. Your kindness has had an immediate and meaningful impact on our learning environment, and we truly could not have done this without you.\r\n\r\nSince receiving the new resources, my students have been using them daily to engage more deeply in lessons, collaborate with peers, and build essential academic and language skills. One especially meaningful moment was during a recent literacy activity, where students worked in small, differentiated groups to practice language development and comprehension strategies. The materials allowed me to tailor instruction to different learning needs, ensuring that all students—including those with IEPs—had access to supports that met them where they are. I saw students confidently participating, using academic language, and taking pride in their work.\r\n\r\nWhen the students first saw the materials, their excitement was immediate. They were eager to explore, ask questions, and begin using the resources right away. Several students expressed how the tools helped them better understand the lesson, and others were thrilled to have materials that made learning feel more hands-on and engaging. For my students with IEPs, the resources provided structure, visual supports, and flexibility, helping them feel more confident and successful in the classroom.\r\n\r\nThanks to your generosity, our classroom now feels more inclusive, engaging, and supportive of all learners. These materials have helped promote language development, strengthen academic skills, and allow for differentiated instruction that supports individual learning goals.\r\n\r\nAs we move forward, students will continue using these resources as part of an ongoing unit that focuses on building comprehension, communication, and independent learning skills. Our next steps include applying these tools to more complex tasks, encouraging students to explain their thinking, collaborate with classmates, and demonstrate growth in both academic content and language use. The materials will continue to support small-group instruction and personalized learning plans, especially for students working toward their IEP goals.\r\n\r\nThank you again for investing in our classroom and for giving my students the tools they need to succeed. Your support has made a lasting difference, and we are so thankful for your generosity.","fullyFundedDate":1762266288292,"projectUrl":"project/enriched-language-boosting-small-groups/9573332/","projectTitle":"Enriched Language Boosting Small Groups","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Brown","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-7_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9097013"},{"teacherId":5225818,"projectId":8979316,"letterContent":"want to extend my heartfelt thanks for your generous donation of center materials to our kindergarten classroom.
