I was able to put these resources in students' writing folders and on the board as classroom resources. These resources greatly impacted the students' writing process, they were able to write longer, more varied, and more complex narrative pieces. Students use these resources every day during writing time which helps them be more independent and self motivated.","fullyFundedDate":1669738828122,"projectUrl":"project/wanted-student-resources/6615192/","projectTitle":"Wanted: Student Resources","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Maestra Cecilia","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp7643468_orig.jpg?crop=1:1,smart&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1726747114309","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/maestracecilia"},{"teacherId":7643468,"projectId":6349410,"letterContent":"Thank you so much for your support.

It has truly transformed that space. Now, when students are feeling overwhelmed or just need a moment to regroup, they have a warm, soft place to sit. \r\n\r\nWe've also started using the donated prizes as part of our classroom reward system. It's been a powerful tool for reinforcing positive behavior and building a strong, respectful classroom community. The students are so motivated!\r\n\r\nThank you for being part of our journey.

Instead of only seeing a picture, they could touch and manipulate real items representing the beginning sound of each letter. This added dimension brought excitement and deeper understanding to our lessons, especially for our young learners who thrive through tactile experiences.\r\n\r\nIn addition, each child received a small bag of plastic letters to take home to engage in playful learning with their families—sorting, identifying, and practicing at their own pace. I also sent each student a set of magnetic letters to write their name and proudly display it on their refrigerator. This connects school learning with the home environment.","fullyFundedDate":1733273145369,"projectUrl":"project/learning-my-abcs-or-aprendiendo-el-abece/8583768/","projectTitle":"Learning My ABCs or Aprendiendo El Abecedario!","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Pepa","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-9_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9634476"},{"teacherId":7643468,"projectId":5821973,"letterContent":"Thanks to you all, we have started the year off right.
