Your gift has truly enriched our classroom experience.\r\n\r\nOur students thoroughly enjoyed reading the story of Esperanza's coming of age and were deeply engaged by Cisneros' beautiful figurative language and unique narrative style. Many students shared that they enjoyed the book far more than they expected—and that it inspired them to look at storytelling in new and creative ways.\r\n\r\nRight now, our students are writing their own vignettes modeled after Cisneros' style, exploring their own voices and experiences through this literary form. It has been wonderful to see them connect so personally to the text and to the art of writing.\r\n\r\nThese books will continue to inspire and engage many classes in the years to come. Thank you for helping us foster a love of reading, reflection, and creativity in our students.","fullyFundedDate":1754504899396,"projectUrl":"project/exploring-identity-with-the-house-on-man/9490803/","projectTitle":"Exploring Identity With the House on Mango Street","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Williams","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-10_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/10088918"},{"teacherId":1678348,"projectId":9562776,"letterContent":"Thank you so much for your generous contributions to this project.

Assembling these swerve drives and programming them are complex tasks, and excellent opportunities for our students to learn.\r\n\r\nWe are looking forward to an exciting season!

Because of your donation, our students are now able to view the slides while I walk around the classroom and draw on the slides, which has transformed the way we learn and engage with our lessons. Technology in the classroom isn't just about screens—it's about interactivity, creativity, and opening doors to experiences we couldn't otherwise access. For example, we've been able to explore virtual science labs, collaborate on group projects in real time, and even receive instant feedback that helps students understand and correct their mistakes right away.\r\n\r\nWhat excites our students most is how hands-on and personalized their learning has become. One student who previously struggled with reading has blossomed using a literacy app that adjusts to her pace and celebrates each milestone. Another student, who dreams of being an engineer, has taken to the coding tools with enthusiasm and is now mentoring classmates during tech time. These moments of growth and confidence wouldn't be possible without the resources you helped provide.
