Thanks to your support, we have been able to enrich our classroom with a wonderful collection of books in Spanish, which has had a very positive impact on my students.\r\n\r\nThe Spanish books make a great difference in our Dual Language Immersion (DLI) classroom and greatly support both the curriculum and teaching. Many of my students come from homes where Spanish is the primary language, and now they feel proud to see and read books in their native language. For those who are learning Spanish, these books have become valuable tools to improve their vocabulary and comprehension.\r\n\r\nEach week, students get to take home two books from our library to read with their parents. This has created meaningful opportunities for family bonding and has further strengthened their reading skills and love for stories beyond the classroom.\r\n\r\nDuring our reading sessions, students are excited to choose their favorite books and share stories with their classmates. We have seen a significant increase in their interest in reading and greater participation in class activities. One very special moment was when a usually shy child gained the confidence to read aloud in Spanish for the entire class, and the pride on their face was unforgettable.\r\n\r\nThanks to you, we have created a space where cultural diversity is celebrated and where all children can feel valued and represented. Your generosity has not only brought books into our classroom but has also strengthened a love for reading and learning.\r\n\r\nOnce again, thank you very much for making this wonderful experience possible for my students and me. Your support is making a real and lasting difference in our school community.","fullyFundedDate":1744243833950,"projectUrl":"project/first-grade-interactive-classroom-librar/8997636/","projectTitle":"First Grade Interactive Classroom Library in Spanish","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Rodríguez Lema","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-2_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9869102"},{"teacherId":8826067,"projectId":8919803,"letterContent":"I am writing to express my deepest gratitude for the incredible generosity of donors who contributed to my classroom project.

These resources have sparked curiosity, enhanced engagement, and created an environment where learning is more accessible and enjoyable.
