By utilizing the MacBooks, they have deepened their understanding of programming logic and creativity, allowing them to translate their ideas into interactive experiences. The pictures I submitted showcase their impressive scripting graphs and game progress, reflecting the tangible impact of your support on their learning journey.\r\n\r\nThe excitement surrounding the new technology is palpable among the students.

After everything in our classroom was thrown away, it was heartbreaking for my students to walk into a space without the books and materials they depended on. Your donations did more than replace those books; they rebuilt our classroom community. Seeing shelves filled again has given my students a sense of pride and belonging, and they now walk into class eager to read.\r\n\r\nThese new texts have allowed us to strengthen essential language skills in ways that feel authentic and joyful. Students are building vocabulary through contextual reading, improving comprehension strategies like predicting and summarizing, and developing confidence in speaking by discussing stories in Spanish with their peers. We practice identifying cognates, analyzing characters, and making cultural connections that deepen their understanding of the Spanish-speaking world. Reading in our classroom looks interactive and collaborative—students read independently, participate in small group discussions, act out scenes, and even write alternative endings. The books have transformed our lessons into dynamic experiences rather than simple assignments.\r\n\r\nSeveral students who were once hesitant readers are now the first to pick up a book. One student who struggled with confidence now volunteers to read aloud because she connected so strongly with a character in one of our new novels. Another student has started taking books home to read with his younger sibling, proudly translating parts of the story. Moments like these are possible because of you. Your kindness has made a lasting impact on my students' academic growth and their belief that their education matters. Thank you for helping us turn a difficult moment into a powerful new beginning.","fullyFundedDate":1770686653662,"projectUrl":"project/vamos-a-leer-en-clase-lets-read-in-cla/10091329/","projectTitle":"Vamos a Leer en Clase: Let's Read in Class","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Perez","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp1396497_orig.jpg?crop=1574,1574,x873,y0&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1755537813283","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/1396497"},{"teacherId":313238,"projectId":10057520,"letterContent":"Thank you so much for your generosity and support.

During the unboxing of these items, the excitement on their faces was indescribable.
