The Teachers Pay Teachers gift card has allowed me to access a much wider variety of digital teaching resources specifically designed for English learners. My Grade 9 Level 1 students are newcomers who are at the beginning stages of learning English, so finding appropriate materials can be challenging. The resources I have purchased, including visual posters, worksheets, vocabulary activities, and scaffolded language practice, have helped me provide instruction that is accessible to students with very different levels of English and literacy. Technology makes it possible for me to search for, purchase, download, and adapt resources that would otherwise be difficult and expensive for me to create from scratch.\r\n\r\nMy students are especially excited when lessons include colorful visuals, pictures, and activities that make English easier to understand. For students who are not yet able to read or write much English independently, a picture-supported worksheet or visual vocabulary resource can make the difference between being able to participate and feeling completely lost. I have been able to use these resources to give students more opportunities to practice vocabulary, reading, writing, and speaking at their own level. The most meaningful part has been seeing students become more willing to participate because the materials give them the support they need to understand what they are learning. This project has helped me turn digital resources into meaningful, accessible learning experiences for my students. Thank you for investing in their success!","fullyFundedDate":1782426218775,"projectUrl":"project/unlocking-learning-resources-to-support/10247431/","projectTitle":"Unlocking Learning: Resources to Support My English Learners","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Magallanes","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp2395876_orig.jpg?crop=650,650,x0,y0&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1644937679774","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/2395876"},{"teacherId":2395876,"projectId":10247456,"letterContent":"Thank you so much for supporting our classroom! These materials have made a huge difference in my ability to create durable, reusable, and highly visual learning materials for my beginning English learners. My Grade 9 students are newcomers who are still developing foundational English skills, so visuals, repetition, and hands-on practice are essential. The laminator and laminating pouches allow me to turn vocabulary cards, sentence frames, picture supports, reading activities, and other resources into materials that students can use again and again. The extra-strong magnets make it possible to put these materials where students can easily see and interact with them, while the Expo markers allow us to write, practice, erase, and try again.\r\n\r\nMy students especially enjoy seeing our classroom transform into a space filled with colorful, accessible learning supports. For students who cannot yet read much English independently, having a picture, word, or sentence frame posted where they can see it gives them a way to participate even when the language is challenging. The reusable materials have also allowed me to provide more opportunities for students to practice without constantly creating new paper copies. The cordless glue gun has helped me quickly create and repair classroom visuals and hands-on resources, while the border has made our learning displays feel more welcoming and organized. These materials may seem simple, but they have allowed me to build a classroom where students can see, touch, practice, and revisit the English they are learning every day.

The LED writing tablets quickly became a favorite classroom tool. My students are English learners so they are still developing basic reading and writing skills. The tablets gave them a fun, low-pressure way to practice writing English words, letters, sentences, and answers without the fear of making mistakes on paper. Students could write, erase, and try again, which encouraged them to practice more independently and take risks with their English. The LED display also made writing feel new and exciting, especially for students who are easily discouraged by traditional writing tasks.\r\n\r\nThe other items made our classroom celebration especially meaningful. Pens and notebooks gave students materials they could use to practice writing notes or ideas, while the sunglasses, bubble wands, and lollipops helped us celebrate the tremendous growth our students made over the school year. For students who entered the year knowing a more limited amount of English, being able to look back at how much they could understand, read, write, and communicate was a huge accomplishment. The students were genuinely excited to receive their supplies and celebrate together. These donations helped us end the year by recognizing not only academic growth, but also perseverance, confidence, and the courage it takes to learn a new language and adjust to a new school and country.

As a high school world language teacher, I strive to create an environment where every student actively participates in learning, and these whiteboards have helped me make that possible. We use them daily for vocabulary practice, grammar reviews, comprehension checks, and interactive games. Instead of only a few students raising their hands, every student can write and display an answer, allowing me to quickly assess understanding in real time and adjust instruction as needed.\r\n\r\nWhen my students saw the whiteboards, they were excited to use them and immediately became more engaged in class activities. One memorable moment occurred during a review game before an assessment. Every student was actively involved, eagerly writing their responses and holding up their boards to share their thinking. The whiteboards transformed the review into a collaborative and energetic learning experience, giving the quieter students a chance to participate with confidence.","fullyFundedDate":1705509760635,"projectUrl":"project/writing-in-spanish-and-italian-is-fun/8152112/","projectTitle":"Writing in Spanish and Italian is Fun!","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Cordone","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp9433991_orig.jpg?crop=1:1,smart&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1753231710143","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9433991"},{"teacherId":10498784,"projectId":10268780,"letterContent":"Your donations truly made a difference in our classroom.
