The First Little Readers sets are exactly what my young learners need to build confidence in both English and Spanish. These books are colorful, simple, and fun—perfect for helping them develop a love for reading while strengthening their skills in both languages.\r\n\r\nWatching my students light up as they read a story in English and then understand it in Spanish (or vice versa) has been incredibly rewarding. You've helped open doors for them, not just in academics but in their ability to connect with the world around them.\r\n\r\nThank you for believing in bilingual education and for supporting children who are eager to learn and grow. Your kindness has planted seeds that will grow far beyond the walls of our classroom.","fullyFundedDate":1746786961106,"projectUrl":"project/bilingual-beginnings-building-literacy/9295425/","projectTitle":"Bilingual Beginnings: Building Literacy with English-Spanish First Little Readers","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Eskew","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/272x272/tp4255212_272x272.jpg?width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1486128641304","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/4255212"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_42703","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":22,"numTeachers":6,"percentFrplEligible":57,"percentAsian":0,"percentBlack":2,"percentWhite":91,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":2,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"Pre-K - 12","studentTeacherRatio":"3.7:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"TOWN","ncesMetroType":"TOWN_DISTANT"},"inStateSupporters":75.0,"schoolId":42703,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Midtown Educational Center on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Midtown Educational Center","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/tennessee/roane-county-school-district/midtown-educational-center/42703"}
