With your support, we've been able to create a learning environment that is not only engaging but also tailored to the unique needs of our students. One recent project that highlights the power of your contributions was our interactive language workshop, where students used hands-on materials, such as sentence-building kits, bilingual books, and visual aids, to construct their own stories in both English and their home languages. Watching them collaborate, build confidence, and take pride in their cultural identities was truly inspiring.\r\n\r\nThe day the materials arrived, the classroom was filled with excitement and curiosity. Students' eyes lit up as they explored the new resources, running their fingers over colorful flashcards, opening bilingual dictionaries, and flipping through books that reflected their cultures and experiences. One student exclaimed, \"I can use this to teach my parents English!\" Your generosity made this moment of joy and connection possible.\r\n\r\nLooking ahead, we're using these resources to build language skills while fostering creativity. In our current lesson, students are creating visual storyboards to map out their personal journeys as multilingual learners. These storyboards will later be shared with their families and peers during a classroom showcase. With every project, your contributions continue to open doors for my students, empowering them to learn, express themselves, and grow. Thank you for being an integral part of their journey and for believing in the potential of every child in my classroom.","fullyFundedDate":1727289039342,"projectUrl":"project/help-give-them-tools-to-learn-english/8429041/","projectTitle":"Help Give Them Tools to Learn English","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Lacey Crow","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp9558414_orig.jpg?crop=576,576,x0,y0&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1718040121600","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9558414"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_74099","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":607,"numTeachers":30,"percentFrplEligible":58,"percentAsian":2,"percentBlack":1,"percentWhite":61,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":17,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"6 - 8","studentTeacherRatio":"20.2:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"SUBURBAN","ncesMetroType":"SUBURB_LARGE"},"inStateSupporters":75.0,"schoolId":74099,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Cougar Mountain Middle School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Cougar Mountain Middle School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/washington/bethel-school-district-403/cougar-mountain-junior-high-school/74099"}
