They want to be prepared for college level work, as well as gain career related skills and your generous support will assist in meeting these goals and dreams. \r\n\r\nThe book on conversation and speaking activities is something that our class especially enjoys because it prepares and provided practice for real world experiences in a fun and engaging way.","fullyFundedDate":1750095338264,"projectUrl":"project/engaging-english-language-learners/9331264/","projectTitle":"Engaging English Language Learners","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Hughes","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/272x272/tp5827368_272x272.png?width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1536264668506","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/mshughes116"},{"teacherId":5827368,"projectId":9126073,"letterContent":"We thank you from the bottom of our hearts for your generosity and kindness.
