I work with second language learners all day long, and the dictionaries are their primary support tool. As a result, the dictionaries are used several hours every day. They are also used for the standardized tests that students take each year. Without these tool, their language learning gains would be quite limited. \r\n I appreciate your investment in supporting my classroom and the overall educational successes of my students. My students and I are grateful for the support.","fullyFundedDate":1755397358923,"projectUrl":"project/read-english-yes-we-can/9611362/","projectTitle":"Read English - Yes, We Can!","teacherDisplayName":"Dr. Gomez","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-7_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/10182153"},{"teacherId":10168494,"projectId":9636866,"letterContent":"Our class has jumped right into using the new resources, and they've already made a huge difference. One of my favorite moments so far was watching my students work together during a hands-on activity where they were able to use the new materials to explore the lesson in a more interactive way. Suddenly, concepts that were normally difficult felt accessible and exciting for them. It sparked collaboration, creativity, and a lot of \"I finally get this!\" moments.\r\n\r\n\r\nWhen my students saw their new hands on learning games, and different learning games, their faces absolutely lit up. Several students immediately started whispering to each other about what they wanted to try first, and a few literally cheered. They couldn't believe these supplies were for them. It created so much excitement and pride in our classroom—almost like the feeling of unwrapping new presents. They knew instantly that this was going to make learning more fun and meaningful.\r\n\r\nRight now, we're continuing to build on the skills this project supports. Our next steps include applying what they've learned to a larger collaborative project where they'll get to use the materials more independently. They're going to take what we've practiced and create their own final products, and I can already see their confidence growing. The resources you provided will stay at the center of this work, helping them think more deeply, work more creatively, and stay engaged throughout the whole process.

For my middle and high school special education students, success doesn't always look traditional—and that's exactly why we celebrate every moment of progress. The tools we use, from food reinforcers to fidgets to art supplies, help ensure that each student feels supported, motivated, and ready to learn in a way that honors who they are.\r\n\r\nYour generosity brings these essential supports to life. A small snack can spark confidence, a fidget can help a student stay focused through challenging tasks, and a simple box of markers can unlock creativity and expression that words alone can't capture. These aren't just classroom materials—they are bridges to independence, engagement, and joy for students who benefit from hands-on, individualized learning experiences.\r\n\r\nThank you for believing in my students and helping create a classroom where every learner can thrive. Your support ensures that each child feels seen, valued, and capable of reaching their potential. Because of you, our classroom becomes a place where efforts are celebrated, needs are met with dignity, and every step forward is recognized as meaningful growth.","fullyFundedDate":1755269137638,"projectUrl":"project/fueling-focus-and-creativity-in-special/9540980/","projectTitle":"Fueling Focus and Creativity in Special Education","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Laura Naghib","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-4_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9645166"},{"teacherId":10222846,"projectId":9648925,"letterContent":"My students and I greatly appreciate your generous donation that has allowed for me to purchase extra calculators for use in our classroom.

Students are coming to class prepared, focused, and ready to learn. The confidence they show when they have what they need has translated into greater participation and engagement.
