Thanks to your support, we now have access to essential tools that allow us to create engaging, hands-on curriculum materials tailored to a wide range of developmental levels. The printer and ink have proven to be invaluable—allowing us to quickly design, adapt, and produce vibrant and effective resources that meet our students' unique learning needs. \r\n\r\nEqually impactful is the laminating machine, which has enabled us to create durable, reusable activities that stand up to frequent use by eager little hands. These sturdy materials ensure that our lessons can be enjoyed again and again, helping us extend the life of each resource while promoting sustainability in our classroom.\r\n\r\nIn addition, the storage bins you helped provide have transformed the way we organize and access materials. With everything neatly stored and within reach, preparing our creative workstations is more efficient, allowing us to spend more time interacting with students and less time searching for supplies.\r\n\r\nYour generosity has empowered us to foster a vibrant, well-structured learning environment where our prekindergarten students can thrive. Thank you for believing in the power of early education and for investing in the tools that help us make learning meaningful and joyful.","fullyFundedDate":1748044791337,"projectUrl":"project/creative-spanish-academic-workstations/9367671/","projectTitle":"Creative Spanish Academic Workstations","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Bustamante Ramirez","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/272x272/tp2005576_272x272.jpg?width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1537212485253","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/2005576"},{"teacherId":2005576,"projectId":5154043,"letterContent":"Each year since the funding of this project, my students have been able to master letter recognition and letter sounds, by using the alphabet tubs to connect objects to letter sounds. They also use the small Spanish alphabet books as guides for their word building by using magnetic letters to make the words, and increasing their love for reading since they are able to \"read\" the word on each page. The materials have given them the opportunity to experience learning through a hands-on way while connecting their learning by being actively engaged through play. The letter tubs have also allowed them to connect real world items to alphabet letters and sounds. My students vocabulary has also increased significantly since we use the items on a daily basis for our language arts lessons and workstation time.

Students work on their individualized learning paths, research projects, boom cards, and science simulations on the Chromebooks while others receive small group instruction.
