These books allow them to see themselves reflected in the characters while also stepping into perspectives beyond their own. Through guided reading, read-alouds, and literature circles, students are practicing key skills like inference, prediction, vocabulary building, and fluency—but most importantly, they are connecting deeply with the written word.\r\n\r\nReading in our classroom now looks alive and communal. We gather around stories, pause to unpack new vocabulary, and share connections that tie language to lived experiences. Laughter fills the room when we enjoy the Casagrandes mystery, while quiet reflection follows as students read Me llamo María Isabel or El color de mis palabras. The Reader's Theater set has given my younger learners the joy of performance, helping them build confidence, collaboration, and expression in Spanish.\r\n\r\nSome of the most touching moments have come from students who once hesitated to pick up a book. One shy student now proudly reads aloud during Los coquíes aún cantan, her voice steady and filled with pride. Another student shared Growing Up with Tamales with his family at home, bringing classroom learning into his kitchen and community.\r\n\r\nThanks to The DonorsChoose Community, my students are not just learning to read—they are learning to imagine, to empathize, and to believe in the power of their own voices. These stories have become bridges: between languages, between cultures, and between hearts. You have truly fueled bilingual learning in the most inspiring way, and for that, we are forever grateful.\r\n\r\nCon gratitud y alegría,\r\n💛 Our Spanish Classroom - CALLE 5","fullyFundedDate":1744267817844,"projectUrl":"project/from-words-to-worlds-fueling-bilingual/9143229/","projectTitle":"From Words to Worlds: Fueling Bilingual Learning","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Recinos","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp9868317_orig.png?crop=395,395,x0,y0&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1737174231203","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9868317"},{"teacherId":9868317,"projectId":9150313,"letterContent":"The impact of this project has been truly remarkable. With the new materials—Spanish word journals, bilingual games, and cultural resources, my students are not only practicing vocabulary, grammar, and sentence building, but they are also learning important skills such as collaboration, problem-solving, and critical thinking.\r\n\r\nReading in our classroom now feels like a shared adventure. Students use their Spanish word journals to capture new words, build sentences, and reflect on what they've learned. The bilingual bingo and vocabulary games turn practice into play, where reading aloud, listening carefully, and recognizing words become joyful, social experiences.\r\n\r\nI've seen students who were once hesitant suddenly eager to read words on their bingo boards, proudly calling them out in Spanish. Others have taken their journals home, excited to share what they're learning with their families. One of my quieter students lights up during our Lotería games, reading with confidence and even helping classmates who need extra support.\r\n\r\nBecause of this project, my students see reading not just as decoding words, but as a way to connect with culture, language, and one another.
