For our early childhood students (especially our English Language Learners) writing is where spoken ideas become real. When our ELL students are learning to express themselves in a new language, making mistakes is a part of the journey. Having good erasers teaches them that a mistake isn't a failure, it's just a step on the way to learning! A fresh pencil gives them the confidence to trace letters, draw and label pictures, and write their first stories. Because of your kindness, our classrooms are fully stocked, and our students can dive into writing time every day equipped and ready to learn.\r\n\r\nThank you for making a real difference for my students!","fullyFundedDate":1782842275156,"projectUrl":"project/on-the-write-track/10280406/","projectTitle":"On The WRITE Track!","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Sheridan","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp2416475_orig.png?crop=421,421,x13,y0&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1759146301718","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/class4202"},{"teacherId":2416475,"projectId":10263539,"letterContent":"Because of you, Asian American stories are on our shelves!

Thanks to your support, our shelves are now filled with vibrant, engaging books centered on opinions and persuasive writing!!\r\n\r\nIn our classroom my English Language Learners are navigating a second (or third) language, the leap from speaking to writing a structured argument can be incredibly daunting. For my students, these books are more than just stories—they are mentor texts. They provide a clear \"roadmap.\" By seeing how an author builds an argument, my students can mirror those structures in their own writing. These books introduce persuasive transition words and \"opinion language\" in a natural way. Seeing relatable topics debated in print empowers my ELLs to realize that their opinions are valid and that they have the tools to express them effectively. We have already begun using one of the new titles to identify \"claim\" and \"evidence.\" Seeing the students point to a professional text and say, \"I can write a sentence like that,\" is a moment every teacher dreams of and you made that possible.\r\n\r\nThank you for investing in these young voices. You aren't just providing books; you are providing the keys to communication, advocacy, and academic success.","fullyFundedDate":1773883466344,"projectUrl":"project/what-is-your-opinion-were-ready-to-sha/10156948/","projectTitle":"What is Your Opinion?
