My multilingual learners — students who show up every day and do the hard work of learning in a new language — finally have tools that meet them where they are.\r\nThe Kobo Libra Colour has been a game-changer for reading access. Students can read books in both English and Spanish, adjust text size to their comfort, and build confidence at their own pace without feeling behind. For kids who used to avoid reading time, it's become something they look forward to.\r\nThe Sony noise-canceling headphones have transformed independent work time. My students use them for text-to-speech support and vocabulary practice, and the difference in focus is immediate. In a busy classroom, having that quiet space in their ears helps them truly absorb what they're learning — especially for students still developing their English skills.\r\nThe copy paper, bookmarks, and fun supplies have given students a sense of real ownership over their learning. They draft, revise, and decorate their work with pride.\r\nEvery student has benefited, but watching my shyest multilingual learners reach for the Kobo on their own, settle into their headphones, and fill a page with their own words — that's everything. These aren't just supplies. For my students, they're proof that someone believed they were worth investing in.","fullyFundedDate":1771438864951,"projectUrl":"project/building-literacy-through-technology-s/9926877/","projectTitle":"Building Literacy Through Technology & Supplies","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Martinez","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-2_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9974763"},{"teacherId":310385,"projectId":10295286,"letterContent":"I want to thank you all for taking the time to donate to my proposal.

The dental kits, soap, shampoo, mouthwash, hand warmers, healthy snacks, and mini water bottles have made a tremendous difference in our classroom. When the students first saw the materials, their faces lit up with excitement and gratitude. Many shared how having these items made them feel cared for and more confident, especially knowing they could maintain their personal hygiene and stay comfortable during cold days. One memorable moment was when a student who often seemed distracted by hunger was able to focus fully after enjoying a healthy snack you provided.\r\n\r\nWe are using these resources daily to create a nurturing environment where every student feels valued and ready to learn. Currently, we are working on a science unit about the human body and health, and the dental kits have become a hands-on tool for students to better understand oral hygiene. The water bottles help keep everyone hydrated, which supports their focus and participation. Moving forward, we plan to integrate lessons on self-care and wellness, empowering students to take charge of their health both inside and outside the classroom.
