I want to start by saying, thank you so much for your incredible generosity and support of our classroom. Because of you, my students have access to beautiful Spanish books that truly reflect who they are. Your gift has already made a meaningful difference in how my students see themselves as readers in our classroom.\r\n\r\nAs a teacher, I love and value getting to see the powerful lessons books can teach to my students. These new texts are helping my students build essential literacy skills, all while strengthening their Spanish language. Just as importantly, these books validate students' identities and cultures, helping them feel proud of who they are.\r\n\r\nReading in our classroom is a joyful, shared experience. Students read independently, with partners, and during small-group instruction. One of the most exciting parts has been our rotating book-borrowing schedule, which allows students to take the books home and read with their families. Students eagerly talk about reading together at home, sharing stories with siblings, parents, and grandparents. This has strengthened not only their language skills, but also the bond between school and home.\r\n\r\nSeveral students have been especially excited about the new books. Some of my English learners who were once hesitant readers now choose to read more often and with greater confidence when the text is in Spanish. I've watched students light up as they recognize familiar traditions, language, and experiences in the stories. Seeing themselves reflected in books has motivated them to read more—and to believe in themselves as capable, successful readers.\r\n\r\nThank you again for believing in my students and for helping us create a classroom where every child feels seen, valued, and inspired. Your support has opened the door to a love of reading that will stay with them for years to come.","fullyFundedDate":1761915921415,"projectUrl":"project/building-a-bilingual-library-of-love/9861690/","projectTitle":"Building a Bilingual Library of Love","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Hall","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp8897356_orig.jpg?crop=2870,2870,x385,y2413&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1761608358529","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/8897356"},{"teacherId":9258916,"projectId":9078607,"letterContent":"Thank you so much for your generous support of my Donors Choose project, \"Red Alert!

For many girls, managing their periods during the school day can be stressful and embarrassing, especially if an unexpected leak occurs and they don't have access to a change of clothes. Thanks to your donation, these students no longer have to miss valuable learning time or feel ashamed—now they have access to clean, comfortable, and discreet clothing that helps them feel safe, supported, and respected.\r\n\r\nIt may seem like a small thing, but to our students, this resource makes a big difference. It empowers them to return to class with confidence and dignity. Your contribution helps us normalize conversations around periods and sends a powerful message that their well-being matters.\r\n\r\nThank you for making a difference in our school community.","fullyFundedDate":1738621361596,"projectUrl":"project/red-alert-period-preparedness-for-our-s/9078607/","projectTitle":"Red Alert!
