Your donation has impacted the reading lives of over 300 students. When one of my intervention groups used the stack and build phonics books, they were able to identify the beginning, middle, and ending changes in words. They took this to the next level and applied this knowledge in their small group reading books. This was so amazing to witness. Each time my reading intervention students enter our space they are filled with excitement and the buzz of \"what reading game are we going to play, today?\" fills the room. I look forward to seeing the impact all the school year through.","fullyFundedDate":1755745262179,"projectUrl":"project/reading-matters/9492779/","projectTitle":"Reading Matters!","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Lopes","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp1564614_orig.jpg?crop=296,296,x521,y139&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1753274412187","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/amylopes"},{"teacherId":2442277,"projectId":9326951,"letterContent":"Thank you so much for supporting my project!

They will be so excited to receive some treats and treasures on their birthdays. It is so nice to make each child feel special and loved within the classroom. \r\nAnother item was pocket charts. These charts will be used to hold yoto cards. The yoto players read the children stories.

Knowing that people like you believe in them and are willing to invest in their success has boosted their confidence and inspired them to work harder and dream bigger.

When the new materials arrived, my students were beyond excited, it felt like an unexpected gift just for them. Seeing the new books, games, and supplies sparked instant curiosity, and the headphones? Let's just say those were put to use immediately!\r\n\r\nRight now, we're diving into a Women's History Month project where students are researching influential women from history, and they're doing it in both English and Spanish. The headphones have been such a big help for this. My students use them to listen to podcasts and interviews, allowing them to stay focused and absorb the material without distractions. After their research, they'll create bilingual presentations to share with the class, highlighting the contributions of these women.\r\n\r\nThis project is not only helping my students connect with powerful figures from the past, but it's also giving them the chance to improve their language skills. They're learning to express complex ideas in both languages, which is something I know will stay with them long after the project ends.\r\n\r\nI truly appreciate your support in making this possible. Your generosity is giving my students the tools they need to succeed and making learning more engaging and accessible for them.\r\n\r\nAnd as a fellow Bison, I just have to say, Howard excellence shines everywhere.
