The Multilingual Play, Learn, and Read project covered all of those areas.\r\n\r\nThe kindergarten kids loved listening to the Bilingual Social-Emotional books during our Morning Meetings. These books focus on being socially and emotionally ready to learn and get along in the world. I read the English, then the Spanish. I would ask the Spanish speakers \"How did I do?\" and they would help with my pronunciations. I explained to the whole class that just like they were learning to read English in kindergarten and needed guidance, I needed guidance when reading Spanish. This activity built confidence for all the beginning readers in the class, both English and Multilingual Learners. One of the Multilingual students often asked if I would read one of the Social-Emotional books at times throughout the school day. All the children in the class looked forward to the special story times. There were several days I read another book in the afternoon, too!\r\n\r\nThe children read the bilingual leveled readers in English and I used the Spanish to support vocabulary development. The phonics games also helped with reading and spelling development.\r\n\r\nThe Hispanic baby doll and wooden baby bed make a nice addition to the housekeeping area. All the children take turns playing in the center and suing the materials.\r\n\r\nFuture kindergarten kids will continue to enjoy these materials.","fullyFundedDate":1773333049054,"projectUrl":"project/multilingual-play-learn-and-read/10090863/","projectTitle":"Multilingual Play, Learn, and Read","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Suttles","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-1_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/10431701"},{"teacherId":6514774,"projectId":10377728,"letterContent":"These supplies have already made a meaningful difference in our first-grade classroom!

Your support provides our classroom with the fundamental tools necessary to create an engaging, structured, and effective learning environment.\r\nEssential classroom supplies play a vital role in supporting English language development. For ESL learners, acquiring a new language relies heavily on interactive, multimodal, and hands-on learning experiences. Supplies such as whiteboards, colorful markers, sticky notes, charts, and organizational folders allow students to interact with language visually and kinesthetically. Being able to sketch ideas, color-code grammar patterns, manipulate vocabulary cards, and visually organize their thoughts reduces cognitive fatigue and makes abstract language concepts concrete and accessible.\r\nAdditionally, having access to adequate supplies creates an equitable learning space where every student can fully participate without stress. Many newcomer students and their families face significant transitions, and ensuring that basic tools—from journals and highlighters to indices and art materials—are readily available fosters a sense of security, belonging, and pride in their work. When students feel equipped and supported, they are much more willing to take academic risks, practice their new language, and take ownership of their learning.\r\nThank you for investing in our students' growth and success. Your generosity empowers our classroom every single day.","fullyFundedDate":1787273284074,"projectUrl":"project/esl-class-needs-supplies/10447905/","projectTitle":"ESL Class Needs Supplies","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Lavery","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-3_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/1813804"},{"teacherId":1813804,"projectId":10274719,"letterContent":"Thank you so much for your generous donation of graphic novels to our middle school English as a Second Language (ESL) classroom. Your contribution directly puts captivating, high-quality books into the hands of students who are navigating both a new language and a new culture.\r\nGraphic novels are an extraordinarily powerful tool for middle school ESL learners. The visual context provided by the artwork offers critical support for reading comprehension, allowing students to decode complex storylines, vocabulary, and nuances without feeling overwhelmed by dense text. This combination of imagery and text builds reading confidence, accelerates language acquisition, and helps reluctant or struggling readers fall in love with books.\r\nEqually important is the impact of the specific stories your donation provided—literature featuring immigrant characters and relatable life experiences. For newcomer students, seeing their own journeys, cultures, and challenges mirrored on the page is transformative. Relatable literature validates their identity and shows them that their stories matter. When students connect deeply with a protagonist who shares their background, reading shifts from a language exercise into a deeply meaningful, personal experience.\r\nBecause of your kindness, our classroom library is now a richer, more welcoming place where students feel seen, supported, and inspired to read.
