This project created a special space where the girls could express themselves, explore their interests, celebrate their individuality, and simply enjoy being together. They learned the importance of taking care of themselves, believing in their abilities, and supporting one another.

Families filled the audience, many seeing their children with disabilities perform publicly for the first time. Parents shared how proud they felt watching their children embrace their heritage, collaborate with peers, and shine in front of the community. The energy in the room was electric—laughter, applause, and even a few emotional moments as students brought the story to life.\r\nYour support made this possible. Students were thrilled by the donated materials. Donations helped provide costumes, stage materials, instruments, technical equipment, and the creative resources that allowed our students to fully realize a small town in Mexico. Your investment gave students the opportunity to experience the arts where their voices, stories, and cultures matter.The success of La Llorona reminded us how powerful the arts can be in education. Our community didn't just attend a show—they came together to celebrate culture, storytelling, and the accomplishments of our young performers.\r\nThank you for believing in our students and in the power of arts education.

This opportunity allowed me to grow intellectually and creatively, but more importantly, it changed what is possible for my students. Because of you, I was able to complete the IMSE Asynchronous Orton-Gillingham Plus Course —an experience that not only exceeded my expectations, but has impacted the way I support the students I serve.\r\n\r\nThis course was incredibly thorough and, to my surprised, targeted many language skills-not just literacy. I walked away with research-based strategies that I can apply to many of my speech and language therapy sessions. These strategies help strengthen my students' phonemic awareness, phonics, fluency, vocabulary, story grammar and narratives skills, as well as syntax and punctuation.\r\n\r\nMany of my students are on the autism spectrum and benefit greatly from the program's repetitive and multisensory techniques, which engage visual, auditory, and kinesthetic pathways. These approaches strengthen automaticity and support students in moving from learning to read to reading to learn. Even small strategies, such as color-coding sight words to highlight phonetic and irregular patterns, and using the Stroop effect to teach color words are already making a difference.\r\n\r\nAs students at my school begin to approach grade level and comprehend what they are reading, they may be recommended for larger, least restrictive classroom environments, and in some cases inclusion programs, where they can learn alongside their typically developing peers with appropriate support. \r\n\r\nThanks to your support, I am now better equipped to help prepare as many students as possible for these opportunities, as inclusive settings can increase confidence, social and academic skills, and overall quality of life.","fullyFundedDate":1758899310220,"projectUrl":"project/learning-to-teach-reading/9593192/","projectTitle":"Learning to Teach Reading","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Diana Chipy","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp5024122_orig.jpg?crop=1:1,smart&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1662991906315","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/diana-ruiz"},{"teacherId":9738301,"projectId":9632223,"letterContent":"I would like to express my gratitude and share the positive impact for the key requested resources your generous funding provided: noise-canceling headphones, a wireless microphone, and music theory notebooks. \r\n\r\nThe wireless mini microphone transformed the communication within a performance for a student who could not project well in the show. It attached under her costume and gave her such a boost of confidence! Not only did it alleviate her anxiety, but it allowed her the mobility to dance and perform without being tethered to a stationary mic. The structured music theory notebooks have provided crucial learning support for my students. They give them visual supports, categorize concepts (rhythm, notation, harmony) and foster ownership of progress because they are fun. And with the noise canceling headphones, overwhelming background noises for students with autism are lowered and they are calm, focus, and excited to use the headphones. They are learning at their own pace, without getting distracted. They are even engaged in learning songs without being stressed.
