Your support allowed us to purchase high-quality ELA testing and instructional resources that help us better assess student learning and provide meaningful differentiation. While many people think of technology simply as devices, in our classroom it also means access to digital tools and online resources that allow us to tailor lessons, track progress, and meet each student exactly where they are. These tools help us quickly identify strengths and areas for growth so we can provide targeted support and enrichment.\r\n\r\nThe new resources have been especially exciting for students because they are interactive, engaging, and designed specifically for young learners. They include hands-on activities, visuals, and practice that feel more like games than tests, which builds confidence and reduces anxiety around assessments. Students love using the materials during small groups and centers, and they are eager to show what they know.\r\n\r\nSeveral students who previously felt unsure about reading or writing have especially warmed to these tools. The differentiated levels allow them to work at just the right challenge level, helping them experience success and growth. It has been wonderful to see their confidence increase and their excitement about learning grow. We are truly grateful for your generosity and for helping us create a classroom where every student can thrive.","fullyFundedDate":1762266372887,"projectUrl":"project/empowering-students-with-targeted-ela-ac/9556625/","projectTitle":"Empowering Students with Targeted ELA Activities","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Reyes","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp10005481_orig.jpg?crop=1:1,smart&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1751075390493","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/10005481"},{"teacherId":1459619,"projectId":9823849,"letterContent":"Thank you so much for donating to my project, class, and students.

When students are hungry, it is hard for them to concentrate, participate, or do their best learning. Thanks to your generosity, my students are able to stay energized and engaged, ready to read, write, problem-solve, and collaborate with confidence.\r\n\r\nYour support also helps create a sense of equity and community in our classroom.
