Their curiosity has grown stronger because they can now touch, build, and interact with the lessons, which makes learning both fun and memorable. These materials are helping them strengthen their creativity, collaboration, and problem-solving skills, while also boosting their confidence to take risks in learning. Thanks to your support, my students are not only gaining academic knowledge, but also developing the resilience and excitement that will carry them far beyond the classroom.","fullyFundedDate":1747141815277,"projectUrl":"project/supplies-for-bright-minds/9345563/","projectTitle":"Supplies for Bright Minds!","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Villanueva","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp9158685_orig.jpg?crop=1:1,smart&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1762225274691","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9158685"},{"teacherId":9158685,"projectId":9204852,"letterContent":"Thanks to the generous support of donors, my students now have access to the PE equipment, math manipulatives, and board games we requested. These resources are already making a difference in their learning. The PE materials allow students to practice and strengthen essential physical skills as they prepare for their 5th-grade evaluations, building confidence and promoting healthy habits. The math manipulatives are transforming our lessons by giving students hands-on opportunities to explore abstract concepts, making learning more concrete and engaging. Finally, the board games have created joyful and meaningful opportunities for collaboration, critical thinking, and social-emotional growth during Fun Friday. Your support has given my students the tools they need to grow both academically and personally—thank you for making such a lasting impact.","fullyFundedDate":1746787074078,"projectUrl":"project/mix-material-for-5th-grade-activities/9204852/","projectTitle":"Mix Material for 5th Grade Activities","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Villanueva","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp9158685_orig.jpg?crop=1:1,smart&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1762225274691","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9158685"},{"teacherId":7677407,"projectId":9261935,"letterContent":"I want to thank you for your unconditional support of this family of students.

The impact this change had was positive for their learning of a second language (Spanish).

The beautiful folklórico skirts have brought an entirely new level of excitement, pride, and engagement to our classroom!\r\n\r\nWhen the students first saw the skirts, their eyes lit up with pure joy and amazement. Many of them couldn't believe the vibrant colors and how beautiful they looked when they twirled. One of my students said, \"I feel like I'm dancing in a real show!\" Their enthusiasm was contagious—we couldn't wait to put them to use.\r\n\r\nWe recently completed a project focused on regional dances of Mexico, where students learned the history and movements of different folkloric traditions. With the skirts, they were able to practice the proper skirt work, timing, and expression, bringing their performances to life in a way that wouldn't have been possible without this donation. It has made our learning hands-on, culturally rich, and emotionally meaningful.\r\n\r\nNext, my students will be preparing a performance for our school's cultural celebration, where they will proudly wear the skirts you helped provide. We're also integrating this into our language arts lessons—students are writing personal reflections and poems inspired by their experience with traditional dance and identity.\r\n\r\nThank you for making such a powerful impact. You didn't just give us fabric—you gave us the chance to celebrate who we are and share it with others.","fullyFundedDate":1742061674368,"projectUrl":"project/colorful-folcklore-dancing/9079444/","projectTitle":"Colorful Folcklore Dancing","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Villanueva","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp9158685_orig.jpg?crop=1:1,smart&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1762225274691","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9158685"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_4136","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":476,"numTeachers":null,"percentFrplEligible":49,"percentAsian":4,"percentBlack":1,"percentWhite":13,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":73,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"Pre-K - 8","studentTeacherRatio":null,"demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":false,"metroType":"SUBURBAN","ncesMetroType":"SUBURB_LARGE"},"inStateSupporters":86.6,"schoolId":4136,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Holbrook Language Academy on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Holbrook Language Academy","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/california/mount-diablo-unified-school-district/holbrook-elementary-school/4136"}
