The basic classroom supplies you helped provide—like markers, folders, anchor chart paper, and whiteboards—were essential in creating an organized and engaging space for my students to learn and grow. One memorable moment was during our \"identity poem\" unit, when students used the materials to design visual representations of their poems. Seeing their pride as they decorated and shared their work with peers was a powerful reminder of how the right supplies can spark confidence and creativity. When the materials first arrived, my students were thrilled. Many of them had never had personal access to such well-stocked tools, and their excitement was contagious! As we continue building foundational language skills, students are now working on a collaborative group project where they will create posters and mini-presentations about cultural celebrations from around the world. The resources you provided are helping them express their ideas with clarity and pride—thank you for playing such a meaningful role in their journey!","fullyFundedDate":1691080186557,"projectUrl":"project/first-year-eld-experience/7526410/","projectTitle":"First Year ELD Experience","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Ellien","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp9114881_orig.jpg?crop=1113,1114,x0,y174&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1695576621620","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/msellien-kjeld"},{"teacherId":9357671,"projectId":9025454,"letterContent":"The X-ACTO Commercial Grade 15\" Guillotine Trimmer has been an essential tool in my classroom, especially for creating engaging and well-organized interactive notebooks.
