Your generosity means the world to me—and even more to my students.\r\n\r\nThis project made a direct and powerful impact in our classroom. The resources you helped fund allowed me to provide targeted, engaging, and accessible literacy instruction for students with a wide range of learning needs. From phonics and sight word activities to reading comprehension tools, everything was chosen with my students in mind.\r\n\r\nOne of the biggest highlights was seeing how much the students enjoyed learning while playing the games included in the resources. These literacy games not only reinforced important skills—they also made learning fun, which kept students motivated and excited to participate. Laughter, teamwork, and lightbulb moments filled our classroom as students learned through play.\r\n\r\nIn our special education classroom, every small step forward is a big victory. Because of you, I was able to create lessons that truly met my students where they are—making reading feel less intimidating and more achievable. I watched students light up with pride as they read words they once struggled with and took ownership of their progress.","fullyFundedDate":1752513701325,"projectUrl":"project/building-literacy-skills-in-special-educ/9458697/","projectTitle":"Building Literacy Skills in Special Education","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Brown Dakouo","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp5870275_orig.jpg?crop=1:1,smart&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1717262423191","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/5870275"},{"teacherId":5870275,"projectId":9287700,"letterContent":"A big, huge thank you again for your incredible support!

Your generous support has made a meaningful and tangible difference in the lives of our students, and I want to personally share the impact you've had.\r\n\r\nBecause of your contribution, children who might have faced their school day hungry are now showing up with energy, focus, and confidence. Teachers are reporting improved concentration in the classroom, with students more engaged and better able to participate in lessons. We've also seen higher attendance, as the promise of a safe, supportive space—complete with nourishing snacks—encourages students to come to school and stay involved.\r\n\r\nBeyond the physical benefits, your support helps create an environment of care and belonging. When children feel cared for, their emotional well-being improves. We're seeing students smile more, open up more, and take on challenges with greater self-assurance. And for families struggling with food insecurity, this program helps ease a burden and ensures their children have what they need to succeed.\r\n\r\nYour generosity is doing more than feeding hungry students. It's sending a powerful message: that every child deserves to be supported, to be seen, and to be given the chance to thrive.
