Thanks to you, we now have a growing library that will inspire Spanish learners for years to come.\r\n\r\nThe Magic You've Created\r\nThese new Spanish texts do so much more than teach vocabulary. Through authentic stories, our students are discovering:\r\n\r\nCultural connections: Reading about celebrations like Día de los Muertos helps students understand not just the language, but the heart of Spanish-speaking cultures\r\n\r\nGrammar in context: Instead of memorizing rules, students see verb tenses naturally unfold in stories, making concepts like the subjunctive suddenly click\r\n\r\nConfidence building: Graduated readers let students progress from simple picture books to novels, celebrating each milestone\r\n\r\nCritical thinking in two languages: Comparing themes across cultures while building bilingual literacy skills\r\n\r\nReading in Our Classroom\r\nOur room buzzes with possibility now! We start with \"círculos de lectura\" (reading circles) where students share favorite passages. Some days, you'll find partners reading aloud to each other, practicing pronunciation through dialogue. \r\n\r\nYour generosity has given our students mirrors to see themselves and windows to see the world. This library will welcome new learners each year, multiplying your impact endlessly.","fullyFundedDate":1759233536099,"projectUrl":"project/multilingual-literacy-showcase-project/9773022/","projectTitle":"Multilingual Literacy Showcase Project","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Bell","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp7816958_orig.jpg?crop=1536,1536,x0,y0&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1700444439911","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/sealofbiliteracy"},{"teacherId":3834223,"projectId":9779804,"letterContent":"Thank you so much for your generous donation! My classes have benefitted from these goodies on a daily basis. The fidget toys were an instant hit! Not only do they help students stay focused while they work, but they have helped me reinforce responsibility. They know that if they don't take good care of them and return them at the end of class, they will have to go without. \r\n\r\nThe \"Shined Mind\" (A Card Game for Cultivating Mindful Choices, Coping Skills, and Calm)game was also a big hit because it genuinely helps my students make mindful choices based on real-world situations that they have or may some day come across. It works best when they play in pairs or in teams because then not only do they have to evaluate the scenarios and choose the healthiest response, but they have to listen to one another, consider other points of view, and justify the choice they make before ever even putting down a card against the other teams. \r\n\r\nAnd, of course, they were extremely grateful for the snacks they got to \"buy\" with participation credits. They're mostly gone now, but they were a great incentive for sure.","fullyFundedDate":1759595107099,"projectUrl":"project/a-healthy-and-positive-freshman-year/9779804/","projectTitle":"A Healthy and Positive Freshman Year","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Alves","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/272x272/tp3834223_272x272.jpg?width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1534557258222","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/3834223"},{"teacherId":9681469,"projectId":9772226,"letterContent":"Thank you so much for your support in bringing essential laboratory equipment to our school. The new hanging weight sets have arrived and immediately transformed our lab work. In physics, the ability to manipulate variables is key to understanding the laws of the universe, and having reliable, varied weights allows my students to see exactly how mass influences force and motion in real-time.\r\n\r\n The impact of this equipment has been immediate and will be long-lasting. We have already utilized the weights to conduct labs on balancing forces and to experimentally determine spring constants, verifying Hooke's Law with data they collected themselves. As we progress through the AP Physics coursework, these weight sets will be used in almost every unit, serving as a constant support for their learning.

Instead of just reading about motion in a textbook, my students are now eager to jump into lab work, handling professional-grade equipment that allows them to test their hypotheses with real precision and excitement.\r\n\r\n The impact on their learning has been immediate. We have already utilized the gear to tackle complex topics, running experiments on kinematics, analyzing the forces of friction, and calculating spring constants. It is one thing to see an equation on a whiteboard, but it is another entirely to see physics in action using these devices. These essential hands-on experiences simply would not have been possible without your generous donations and support.","fullyFundedDate":1758682232478,"projectUrl":"project/help-young-women-in-ap-physics-reach-for/9481298/","projectTitle":"Help Young Women in AP Physics Reach for the Stars!","teacherDisplayName":"Mr. Greer","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp9681469_orig.jpg?crop=271,271,x75,y20&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1723787366041","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9681469"},{"teacherId":10295485,"projectId":9780118,"letterContent":"For this DonorsChoose project, I chose materials and resources that are often consumable and disposable such as large chart paper, posters, cardstock paper, and markers. We are usually given some of these materials in August, but the paper, especially, tends to run out by September, and I often have to spend my own money to replenish my stock. These materials are important to my teaching practice and my students because they provide ample opportunities for students to work collaboratively and do hands-on activities. My teaching line consists of all EL students, many of whom are newcomers. These newcomers have been in the country for a year or less, are very shy, and lack fluency. The most important thing I want my students to do is gain confidence in expressing themselves, and a lot of that comes with hands-on collaboration work that basic supplies like posters and markers can provide. For these students, the process of the project is more valuable than the final result of the project. In my experience, doing hands-on activities such as group collaborative posters and group presentations help students gain confidence and increase their speaking fluency. The group aspect of poster building helps students feel like they have support from their peers and even creates long lasting bonds and friendships. \r\n\r\nWhen my students saw the fresh stack of new posters and chart paper, and the markers full of ink, they were so excited and thankful! They kept saying thank you to me, but I told them to thank you all and that I would convey the message to all the Donor's from DonorsChoose. \r\nAs shown in one of the classroom pictures, my students created a group \"mind mirror\" poster in which they chose a character from the story \"The Crucible.\" In their group, they were to describe the character's traits and personality, use textual evidence to support their answer, provide symbols and explain how it connects to the character, and then present their ideas to the class. \r\nThe cardstock paper was useful in creating \"one pagers.\" Each person can show their ideas on their own individualized mini posters when it comes to various lessons such as figurative language, or what is your American Dream, or what is your comfort food? \r\n\r\nThey love using the erasable whiteboards because it gives them a chance to participate with low risk. The first class that got to use the newly opened whiteboards felt so honored, and they \"ooooh-ed and ahhhh-ed\" as I opened the plastic wrap. We were practicing some idiomatic expressions, and using the whiteboards provides a little bit of fun and even a little bit of competition with who can write the answer the quickest. When I use the white boards, I get 100 percent participation because they love writing their answers without having to say it aloud. I even created a game, dividing the class in half, and the side that raised their boards first won points. Thank you, as well, for the mini snacks of cookies and cheese-its that I could use as little rewards for the competitions. Thank you for giving my students more opportunities to participate, to collaborate with each other and to create stronger relationships with each other, and to build confidence in their comprehension and speaking skills.","fullyFundedDate":1759543952933,"projectUrl":"project/student-voices-for-school-improvement/9780118/","projectTitle":"Student Voices for School Improvement","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Caraang","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-3_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/10295485"},{"teacherId":10293672,"projectId":9772892,"letterContent":"Your help and support has been effective from the moment I received my orders. It was an early Christmas present for my class and believe it or not, the impact changed for the better. Because I teach Physical Education at the high school level, receiving the JBL Extreme 4 speaker helped us alot. Especially when it came to the FitnessGram/ Fitness week. The use of this technology, it being the speaker, helps my students listen carefully when doing their testing. Students will have to listen to the sound of the cadence when doing their sit ups, push ups, and the pacer testing. The pacer testing is where especially the JBL Extreme Spreaker came in handy. My students had to learn and perform this outdoors, where loud noises occur. The speaker helped 90% of them passing.","fullyFundedDate":1759255720902,"projectUrl":"project/jolly-assets/9772892/","projectTitle":"Jolly Assets","teacherDisplayName":"Mr. Layugan","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp10293672_orig.jpg?crop=3876,3876,x1124,y0&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1759174009917","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/10293672"},{"teacherId":10248380,"projectId":9708719,"letterContent":"I have received the items that I have requested, and it has elevated my classroom environment to the fullest! \r\n\r\nFirstly, the materials such as the expos and erasers have certainly allowed me to be an effective teacher for my students.

What I love most is their growing confidence, their willingness to take risks with a new language, and their genuine desire to connect with other cultures. Learning a language is abstract, but your gift has made it tangible, engaging multiple senses and learning styles, and fundamentally changing how we approach Spanish.\r\n\r\nWe are using color strategically to enhance memory and organization. For instance, we now use blue to color-code all irregular preterite verbs and red for direct object pronouns. Research shows that this visual organization dramatically improves attention and retention. But what truly excites them is the creative expression. Their Spanish 2 projects, whether they are creating cultural presentations en español, are now vibrant, visually engaging, and more memorable for their peers.
