In an ELD classroom, having the right tools is often the difference between a student struggling in silence and a student actively engaging with a lesson.\r\n\r\nBecause of your support, my students now have an entire toolkit at their disposal. The dictionary, picture dictionary, and translator are essential bridges for my English learners. Beyond the language support, the ability to add media directly to a document or insert a page into a PDF allows them to express their learning in ways they simply couldn't before.\r\n\r\nFrom a practical standpoint, this software has been a total game-changer for our classroom workflow. Many of my students are still building their computer literacy; when working in a standard Google Doc or Word file, it is all too common for a student to accidentally delete their entire assignment. By working on a PDF through Kami, that frustration is gone. It allows them to highlight and use speech-to-text without the fear of \"breaking\" the document, which saves us both so much time and keeps their confidence high.\r\n\r\nYour investment has provided my students with the high-quality resources they deserve to succeed. Thank you for making our classroom a more accessible and productive place.","fullyFundedDate":1766450655656,"projectUrl":"project/providing-students-with-high-quality-sof/9858054/","projectTitle":"Providing Students With High-Quality Software Is No Longer a Luxury","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Kolody","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp2452313_orig.jpg?crop=621,621,x0,y239&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1588952354037","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/cheyenne"},{"teacherId":8508841,"projectId":10011487,"letterContent":"The most exciting aspect of this new technology for my students is the opportunity it creates for collaboration, creativity, and problem-solving. Many of the students involved had not previously found a place in other extracurricular activities, so having access to this technology has helped spark their interest and confidence. They are excited to experiment, work through challenges together, and see their ideas come to life.\r\n\r\nSeveral students have especially warmed to the technology because it gives them a hands-on way to engage and contribute. Students who were once hesitant to participate are now some of the most active members, helping their peers troubleshoot problems and celebrating group successes.\r\n\r\nWith your donations, I have been able to get this club off the ground and create a welcoming space for students who did not always feel included in the school's extracurricular activities. Twice a week, these students meet to collaborate, have fun, and simply enjoy being kids. Together they solve problems, overcome obstacles, and build a strong sense of belonging within the group.","fullyFundedDate":1769119502106,"projectUrl":"project/play-learn-connect/10011487/","projectTitle":"Play.
