Your contribution makes a huge difference in the lives of learners striving to master the English language and build brighter futures.\r\n The funds you provided have allowed us to purchase essential classroom supplies and crucial technology that will transform the learning environment for our small group and individual lessons. Thanks to your kindness we were able to acquire a technology upgrade. An external computer monitor has been purchased, which is already proving invaluable for conducting engaging small group lessons, allowing students to view visual aids, practice comprehension exercises, and participate in interactive learning activities together. We now have a wealth of hands-on learning tools, educational games, and flash cards that cater to diverse learning styles, making abstract concepts more concrete and vocabulary acquisition more fun and memorable. Your donation secured fundamental necessities, including translation dictionaries to support independent understanding, and basic but vital items like paper and pencils so every student is equipped to succeed from day one.\r\n These tools are more than just supplies; they are resources that open doors. They allow us to create a more dynamic, accessible, and supportive environment where our ESL students feel confident to practice, make mistakes, and ultimately achieve fluency. \r\nThank you once again for believing in our students and our mission. Your support is truly an investment in their success.","fullyFundedDate":1758806924671,"projectUrl":"project/supplies-for-best-practice-ell-supplies/9619482/","projectTitle":"Supplies for Best Practice ELL Supplies","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Dembeck","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/272x272/tp5570186_272x272.jpg?width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1532539579966","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/5570186"},{"teacherId":6622570,"projectId":9618973,"letterContent":"I am writing to share the amazing impact your donations have had on my students and our classroom environment. Your generosity has brought state of art technology and essential supplies directly into the hands of my learners, creating a space where they are engaged, motivated, and excited to learn. The most immediate and exciting change has been the introduction of the 21-inch touchscreen monitor. Watching my students utilize this resource is inspiring; they are now able to interact directly with digital lessons, manipulate academic tools, and collaborate on activities in a way that simply wasn't possible before. \r\nThe smaller, foundational supplies have been equally transformative. The individual lined dry erase boards have been a monumental success. Students are no longer afraid to make mistakes in a notebook, knowing they can quickly erase and try again. This immediate, visual feedback loop is critical for language acquisition and mathematical concept practice. Furthermore, simple necessities like the new supply of pencils ensures that every single student is prepared to engage in every single lesson without disruption. These consistent, small tools reinforce a positive and productive learning environment daily.\r\n\r\nFinally, your contribution of Clorox wipes, wet ones and puffs tissues have helped us maintain a clean and welcoming learning space, teaching students the importance of shared responsibility and hygiene. This is more than just about cleanliness; it's about creating a safe, respectful, and organized classroom where we can all focus on learning. Thank you, from the bottom of my heart, for investing in my students' potential.
