The materials have transformed the way my students experience learning in our ESL classroom. From the moment they saw the new STEM kits, phonics sets, and language games, their excitement was immediate and genuine. One particularly powerful moment occurred during a roller coaster engineering activity, where students worked in small groups to design and test their own models. As they built, they naturally used academic vocabulary like \"speed,\" \"height,\" and \"energy,\" while collaborating, negotiating, and explaining their ideas in English. This hands-on experience allowed them to connect language with real-world concepts, making learning both meaningful and memorable.\r\n\r\nThe materials have also helped create a supportive and low-anxiety environment where students feel safe taking risks. The phonics and decoding sets are giving students the structured practice they need to build foundational reading skills, while the affirmation cards are helping shift their mindset. Academic games and origami activities have further strengthened peer interaction, allowing students to build social language while developing skills like problem-solving, following multi-step directions, and recognizing patterns. \r\n\r\nAs students move forward, they will use their growing vocabulary and confidence to explain their thinking, reflect on their learning, and demonstrate understanding through meaningful, hands-on projects. The impact of these materials extends beyond academics; they are helping students build confidence, reduce anxiety, and develop a positive mindset toward learning English. Witnessing the shift of how my students see and talk about themselves both as learners and indivuals makes teaching worthwhile.","fullyFundedDate":1765129809572,"projectUrl":"project/boosting-brains-and-building-confidence/9913353/","projectTitle":"Boosting Brains and Building Confidence: STEM+ Language for Multilingual Learners","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Hager","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp6218386_orig.jpg?crop=2268,2268,x0,y68&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1763826146954","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/6218386"},{"teacherId":6489220,"projectId":9462118,"letterContent":"Thank you so much for your donations that helped fund \"The Bone Appetit Project!\" Our students have been so excited in the building and planning process involved with the hydroponic garden!

They were immediately drawn to the vibrant books and couldn't wait to dive into learning about different countries, traditions, and people.
