Although we have over 300 students who are identified as EL's, many parents are hesitant in joining this great opportunity.\r\n\r\nWith that said our numbers are growing weekly with our largest crowd of 20! The many resources you have provided us are allowing us to educate our parents and families in a fun and unique way without overwhelming them or making them feel like they are back in school.\r\n\r\nIn order to assess the success of this program, we do have to have some \"school\" type of assessment, and ironically, the parents actually want a \"test\" because they have asked, \"can you tell me...is this A?\" It is wonderful to see such a desire to want to learn and want to learn more. It is great that their children see their parents setting this wonderful example.","fullyFundedDate":1755521931763,"projectUrl":"project/parent-literacy/9305527/","projectTitle":"Parent Literacy","teacherDisplayName":"Dr. Nicolaus","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-7_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/8155013"},{"teacherId":9515396,"projectId":9378125,"letterContent":"I wish you could see the surprise on my students' faces when they realized they could pick their color folder. We've been practicing placing and retrieving their folders from the shelves in less than 30 seconds, and some of the students are getting really into it. Many of them grab their folder even when they don't need it, so they can keep their work in it and use their old notes.\r\n\r\nStudents have started making mini-posters with their index cards, and have done such a good job that one of them even said \"No offense, but that student's mini-poster looks even better than yours,\" referring to the model example! They have filled them with words and labeled diagrams, and are proving their learning.\r\n\r\nThank you for helping me give these opportunities to my students, so that they feel like their work matters. You'd be surprised how much the thickness and size of the paper changes how much students take their work seriously, because of how it makes them feel like it's not just disposable--it's meant to last and be looked back on.","fullyFundedDate":1752512682334,"projectUrl":"project/help-keep-economically-kids-work-safe-a/9378125/","projectTitle":"Help Keep Disadvantaged Kids' Work Safe at School, Year-Round!","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Tom","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp9515396_orig.jpg?crop=2357,2357,x0,y228&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1713483094616","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9515396"},{"teacherId":127256,"projectId":9010216,"letterContent":"I do not want to sound like a broken record, but when it comes to my students, I will...

Unboxing is always amazing, and hearing my students say, 'Is this for us?' with huge smiles, makes my day. I had enough supplies and a little left over to start this new school year. \r\nOver the summer, test results came back, and my students scored amazingly! This year, as a teacher, I can truly say that without DonorsChoose support, things were looking bleak as far as my ability to sustain the classroom as I wanted.","fullyFundedDate":1742563920236,"projectUrl":"project/restock-fresher-and-sweeter/9010216/","projectTitle":"Restock!

Your support has made a profound impact, and I want to take this opportunity to share how much this gift means to my students and me.\r\n\r\nAs an educator, I strive to create an engaging, efficient, and inspiring learning environment for my students. The addition of wireless keyboards and mice has transformed our classroom in several key ways:\r\n\r\nIncreased Mobility and Flexibility: The wireless devices have freed my students from the limitations of traditional wired setups, allowing them to collaborate more easily and move around the classroom without being tethered to their desks. This mobility fosters creativity, teamwork, and a dynamic learning atmosphere.\r\n\r\nEnhanced Focus and Organization: our classroom is now more organized and visually appealing. Students can focus better on their assignments, and the space feels more modern and tech-savvy, which has made them excited about using technology in their daily learning activities.\r\n\r\nEmpowerment through Modern Technology: The wireless devices have provided my students with a hands-on experience using cutting-edge tools, which prepares them for the future workforce. Many of these students come from underrepresented backgrounds, and having access to modern technology helps bridge the digital divide they may face.\r\n\r\nPride in Connection to HBCU Legacy: Knowing that this donation came from individuals who attended an HBCU has created a special sense of pride in my classroom. As I am also a graduate of an HBCU. Your generosity is a living example of how HBCU alumni continue to give back to their communities, inspiring my students to work hard and pursue their own academic dreams.\r\n\r\nYour kindness has not only enhanced our classroom environment but has also reminded my students of the importance of community and giving back. You have shown them that there are people who believe in their potential and are willing to invest in their future.\r\n\r\nThank you once again for your generosity and for making such a meaningful contribution to our classroom. Your support will have a lasting impact on my students' education and their outlook on the world.","fullyFundedDate":1733582058954,"projectUrl":"project/look-no-wires/8663117/","projectTitle":"Look, No Wires!","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. S.
