We've already started using the new materials, and they're having a noticeable impact on our daily routines. The folders and notebooks are helping my ESL students stay organized during writing, grammar, and vocabulary practice. The markers, glue sticks, and scissors have made our interactive notebook work easier and more engaging. Even supplies that often get overlooked like disinfecting wipes, Post-its, and printer toner, have made the classroom run more efficiently and helped my students feel confident and prepared.\r\n\r\nOne of my favorite moments so far was watching students set up their new notebooks and folders for our next unit. They were comparing colors, sharing markers, and helping each other label sections. For many of my students, having brand-new materials of their own truly meant something. \r\n\r\nAs we continue our current lessons, these supplies will support our vocabulary development, reading responses, and hands-on language activities throughout the year. My students use their folders and notebooks daily as we build writing skills and expand their academic language. The classroom organization these materials provide also helps them focus more on learning and less on trying to find what they need.\r\nThank you again for making such a meaningful difference. Your support helps create a welcoming, structured, and resource-rich environment where my English learners can thrive.","fullyFundedDate":1755722365521,"projectUrl":"project/back-to-school-basics-for-esl-success/9611781/","projectTitle":"Back-to-School Basics for ESL Success","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Safford","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp4325207_orig.jpg?crop=1:1,smart&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1755358557170","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/ms-safford"},{"teacherId":10058099,"projectId":9418918,"letterContent":"I wanted to reach out and thank you again for generously helping to fund my classroom for the year. The materials have been a huge hit with the students. Both my seminar classes as well as my mythology elective have been incredibly appreciative of \"the good markers\". We use the colored pencils every single day, along with the carpet circles. My students absolutely love alternate seating so it's nice to give them the option to spread out in the room. \r\n\r\nThe games have also been a wonderful addition, I have students who are not even on my roster this year coming in and asking to borrow the Crazy 8s deck or Go Fish. It's been wonderful to give the students a variety of activities to lessen the allure of the phones. My students and I are beyond grateful for your generosity.\r\n\r\nLooking ahead, my classes are seat to repeat every 10 or so weeks. I'll get to meet the entire freshman grade, and build new relationships with them. Your donation does not only serve my students, your donation is effectively serving the majority of the freshman class.

It is vital that they have this resource; especially my Level 1 students. Other kids use the computers because they don't have one. I keep them in my class so that kids can participate in what we are doing on a daily basis.\r\n\r\nI would like to thank the organizations that donated to this project.
