Your generosity brought a meaningful set of tools into our classroom that has already made a noticeable difference in the way my students learn, stay organized, and engage with their work.\r\n\r\nSince receiving the materials, we've been able to jump right into several hands-on and creative lessons. The construction paper has allowed students to bring language concepts to life through visual activities, interactive vocabulary projects, and small group creations. \r\n\r\nThe new filing cabinet has been a game-changer for our daily routine. I was finally able to organize the many ELA resources, worksheets, and student portfolios that we use every single day. Having everything sorted and accessible has helped the students find what they need quickly and independently, which has already improved our transitions and reduced classroom stress.\r\n\r\nThe rolling standing desk has also helped me support students more effectively. I can move around the classroom with my laptop, circulate during lessons, and work side-by-side with students who need extra help without losing access to important teaching tools. It has brought so much mobility and flexibility to our learning environment.\r\n\r\nThe computer mice, mouse pad, desk calendar, and clipboards have filled in so many small but essential gaps—things that make the day run smoothly but are often overlooked when resources are limited. \r\n\r\nYour contribution didn't just give us supplies—you gave my students a more organized, creative, and supportive learning space. Thank you for believing in them and for investing in our classroom. We are deeply grateful for your kindness and generosity.","fullyFundedDate":1755393218681,"projectUrl":"project/from-paper-to-pixels-esl-learning-in-ac/9469653/","projectTitle":"From Paper to Pixels: ESL Learning in Action","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Soto-Rosa","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp3764021_orig.jpg?crop=576,576,x0,y44&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1576949215676","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/3764021"},{"teacherId":10045742,"projectId":9436853,"letterContent":"Thank you so much for your generous donation of math materials to our classroom!

This simple system has helped them take ownership of their learning and given us more time to focus on building language skills together.\r\n\r\nThe consumable art supplies have been just as impactful. We've used them to bring lessons to life through colorful projects, creative displays, and hands-on activities that make language learning visual and fun. Students are eager to share their work, and I can see their confidence grow as they express themselves in new and exciting ways.\r\n\r\nBecause of you, my students feel supported and capable.
