My students were ecstatic when they heard we got new supplies for future art projects. One of the projects that used majority of the supplies were the \"Ofrenda Project\" for The Day of the Dead. Students used the tissue paper to take home and use in their ofrenda. In addition, glue guns and hot glue sticks were provided to students. Even though these supplies were only asked for this project, they are used throughout the year. \r\nAlso, my students were able to create an amazing christmas door. The students used the glue sticks to glue the Grinch onto the door. The paint was also used for this christmas door and other classroom projects. We have upcoming projects and I am so glad that students do not have to worry about buying additional resources.","fullyFundedDate":1746644827998,"projectUrl":"project/art-in-spanish/9212887/","projectTitle":"Art in Spanish","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Cervantes","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp7603322_orig.jpg?crop=960,960,x0,y160&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1635173276026","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/sracervantes"},{"teacherId":7603322,"projectId":9689693,"letterContent":"This school year, I had to change classrooms.

In this new classroom, I have wooden walls that needed a thicker stapler to post papers. As you can see from the pictures, the decorations are looking fabolous in my classroom and so are the student assignments. I wanted to focus on getting mint green decoration and it has worked out. I feel like my classroom looks very comfortable. When students see their classroom decorated they feel happy.

This school year, I had to move classrooms and many of the decorations for The Day of the Dead were lost or thrown away. As the event was approaching, I tried planning different activities for all 150 of my students. I wanted to all my students tn enjoy and be part of this event. Thanks to you, I was able to provide a memory that could last a life time for my students. My students spent a whole week working on many arts and crafts activities. \r\nThe air dry clay was such a hit! All my students had an amazing time decorating their skull with different colors of the air dry clay. In addition, about 80 students created items for their ofrenda. My students were so happy! A couple of them mentioned how excited they were to come to my classroom and work on their projects. \r\nAll the materials will be used throughout the year and following years for the Day of The Dead.

Thanks to this donation, I was able to improve the literacy of 60 plus students. Every year, this amount will be doubled for many years to come. \r\n Last year, the reading fluency levels of my students were at a third grade level and I made a personal commitment to improve their reading fluency and comprehension. I want to make sure my students are ready for higher advanced Spanish. In addition, reading is so much fun! As a teacher, I can add different projects and assignments. My students just finished reading Cajas de Carton by Francisco Jimenez and are working on their final project. \r\n My level 1 Spanish speaking students will be reading Mango Street next semester. I cannot wait to assign projects and have discussions in the classroom. I think it is important to incorporate readings that relate to students. Students have fun when they make connections and they make teaching even more fun.","fullyFundedDate":1746786434038,"projectUrl":"project/improving-literacy-one-book-at-a-time/9213026/","projectTitle":"Improving Literacy One Book at a Time","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Cervantes","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp7603322_orig.jpg?crop=960,960,x0,y160&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1635173276026","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/sracervantes"},{"teacherId":1644297,"projectId":9711540,"letterContent":"I'm writing to express my deepest gratitude for your generous donation of an iMac computer to my classroom on DonorsChoose.

Many of our donors may be familiar with technology at home, but in the classroom, these digital and printable materials allow me to meet the needs of each learner more effectively. For example, interactive lessons can be projected for the whole class while also being available in printable form for small groups or individual practice. This flexibility helps me reinforce key skills in math, reading, and writing in ways that are both engaging and accessible.\r\n\r\nThe most exciting part for my students has been the variety of fresh, creative activities. They love when new centers, games, or digital slides appear in our classroom because it feels different from \"regular\" work—it's colorful, interactive, and fun. One student even told me, \"I like when we do the games because it doesn't feel like I'm learning, but I know I am!\" That joy and excitement is exactly what motivates them to stay focused and try their best.","fullyFundedDate":1750730042010,"projectUrl":"project/tpt-for-the-rescue/9403113/","projectTitle":"TpT For the Rescue","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. S","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-3_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9469345"},{"teacherId":8683444,"projectId":9323450,"letterContent":"The kids love, love, love these calming goodies!
