Store More, Read More!
Funded Sep 2, 2024I sincerely apologize for this being late. It was a very busy 2024! Our bookcase is amazing! We have actually used it more for storing group materials. It is centrally located so students can easily grab or pass out things they need to learn. For example, during phonics instruction, blending boards and slate kits can easily be located and distributed without cluttering our classroom environment.
Our classroom would not be the same with out the wonderfully support and funding from people like you! Thank you so, so much!!”

Funded Aug 15, 2024I apologize for submitting this late. Last year was a busy year!
We are so grateful to have received writing manipulatives that are helping grow our students' love of writing! They absolutely love building sentences and then writing them with their sentence builder boards! It is so much fun watching their faces light up and be engage with writing and using language in many ways. The visuals also support them so much!
Our classroom would not be the same without the wonderful donors like you on Donors choose!! You have no idea how much impact this has had on their language growth and development throughout the school year. We really appreciate it!”

Funded Aug 15, 2024I apologize for this being late. It was a very busy end of the year, last year. These vocabulary resources you have funded have had a tremendous impact on our students! I have several students who have not felt comfortable to talk aloud in front of others but now have the tools to successfully do so. They have so much fun using the word card readers and vocabulary cards to practice speaking English.
We will be taking an ESL language proficiency test soon and this will definitely help prepare them for it. Some of their speaking scores from last year's test were lower than expected. I am hopeful that these materials will give them what they need to show the growth they have had since the beginning of the school year!
Thank you again for everything! It truly means so much to each and every one of our English language learners!”

Funded Jul 23, 2024This rug is absolutely beautiful!! As you can see, it truly adds to our classroom space! Students love reading on it and pointing to all the different countries displayed. Going forward, we are going to talk and mark the countries where each student is from. We have also discussed independent reading rules and routines. Students can choose their independent reading area to demonstrate what they have learned while reading. They are doing a great job showing this so far!
We cannot thank you enough for your donation to making our classroom environment a positive and happy space!”

Funded Jun 16, 2024We are elated to be able to receive these materials in time for the new school year!! You are giving students with no language the gift of being able to express themselves well and learn how to regulate the emotions they feel. These materials have created such a positive, warm learning environment for them. Students are identifying feelings and love seeing them within the characters and flip book! Thank you so much for your time and generosity! Our school is filled with amazing tools for learning because of you!”

Learning on the Rise With New Supplies!
Funded Oct 26, 2022The students were absolutely amazed at all of the new supplies they just got!! They couldn't wait to use the pencil sharpeners and new markers! Their areas are much cleaner and neater than ever before! You did it again and at lightning speed!! I cannot believe how fast this project was funded. We are so fortunate to have the support we need to keep our diverse learners engaged and ready to learn! Thank you so much to Panda Cares for the match!! It really made a difference on how fast this project was funded! Now my students will have all the supplies they need to be organized!!”

Funded Sep 6, 2021First of all, let me say, I am so sorry this took so long for me to write! This project has been a little difficult one to implement since the book was a challenge to follow. Even with the unexpected circumstances, the rewards really helped improve the motivation of my students to set goals and achieve them! Each and every ELL got a pop bubble prized and were so excited to take them home for their hard work with reading. I am still continuing to search and improve the reading levels of all the language learners I teach. It is definitely an obstacle, but one I know we can overcome. Thanks again to all of the donors who graciously gave towards this project! We truly appreciate it.”

Lift Up Your Voices
Funded Apr 7, 2022This is our second language center and we could not be more excited to have had this fully funded for the amazing students at Arsenal Elementary!! My English language learners loved seeing all of the speaking tools they could use and an awesome cart to organize them in as well!! One of the students who is shy and does not talk a lot really started to show interest in a lot of our new items in the cart - I was not expecting that! We use a lot of the games to help get students involved in discussion and focus around how they are using language daily. It is amazing how little time it takes for our new students to go from barely talking at all to having full-on conversations with their peers in as little as 3-6 months after they arrive! Thank you all again for this project and the ones to come! We are so grateful to the donors and Donorschoose for allowing these opportunities to become a reality in our classroom!!”

Funded Jan 31, 2022You have brought great joy to my classroom! They are loving all of the new uno games, Legos, and drawing materials! We just can't thank you enough for helping recess be more engaging and fun! They did so well today with the Legos! There weren't any problems with sharing or clean up! It was so nice to see them enjoying recess and letting their creativity run wild! I know they are so ready to play with everything again tomorrow! If you look at the pictures I uploaded, you can see some of their creations from today.”
