Your donations helped us create a true language lab—a space where multilingual learners feel free to move, think, speak, write, and grow at their own pace.\r\n\r\nThe rolling desk has already become one of the most loved pieces in our room. It gives students the freedom to choose the best place for their learning—whether they're practicing conversation, drafting a story, or working through a new grammar structure. That mobility has opened the door for more collaboration and more confidence.\r\n\r\nThe lap desks have given my students something they rarely get: comfort and choice. Many of my learners concentrate better when they're not confined to a traditional desk. These lap desks allow them to spread out, lean in, and truly engage with reading and writing tasks. It's a small shift that makes a huge difference in how they show up as thinkers.\r\n\r\nThe portable whiteboard easel has transformed the front of our room into a flexible storytelling space. We use it for modeling sentence structures, building vocabulary maps, capturing student ideas, and practicing real-time revisions. Students interact with it constantly—standing up, discussing, correcting, and explaining their thinking. It has brought our lessons to life in a way that supports both clarity and creativity.\r\n\r\nTogether, these tools make our classroom feel less like a traditional room and more like a studio—a place where students experiment with language, find their voice, and take ownership of their learning. Your generosity didn't just give us materials; it expanded what my students believe is possible for them.\r\n\r\nThank you for seeing our students, believing in their growth, and helping us build a space that honors their stories.","fullyFundedDate":1765650707588,"projectUrl":"project/stories-that-connect-us-voices-in-motio/9927277/","projectTitle":"Stories That Connect Us: Voices in Motion","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Willynn Thompson","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp9646590_orig.jpg?crop=1:1,smart&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1724923891866","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9646590"},{"teacherId":9838317,"projectId":9864758,"letterContent":"Thank you for the tremendous and very appreciated support. \r\n\r\nThe students I serve and myself are incredibly grateful that you recognized our project and chose to support us. \r\n\r\nThese items were particularly exciting because small group sessions often involve collaborative games.
