SEL Activities for Elementary Students
Funded Jan 6, 2025I hope this letter finds you well. On behalf of our students and staff at San Miguel El, I want to express our heartfelt gratitude for your generous donation of new books for our classroom. Your support has provided our students with engaging, high-quality texts that have truly enriched their learning experience.
Since introducing these new books, our students have been developing essential skills such as critical thinking, reading comprehension, and vocabulary expansion. Many of the texts also introduce valuable life lessons, such as empathy, perseverance, and teamwork, which spark meaningful discussions in our classroom.
Reading in our classroom is an interactive and dynamic experience. Whether students are reading independently, in small groups, or as part of a class discussion, these books have encouraged curiosity and deeper engagement. We've incorporated them into guided reading activities, literature circles, and writing reflections, allowing students to connect personally with the stories and ideas presented.
It has been especially rewarding to see certain students light up with excitement over these new books. One student, Alex, who previously struggled to find interest in reading, has become deeply engaged with My Super Power is Kindness, eagerly sharing thoughts and predictions with classmates. Another student, Mia, has found confidence in reading aloud and discussing themes, something they were hesitant to do before. These moments highlight just how powerful access to the right books can be in a child's education.
Thank you again for your generosity and for making a meaningful difference in our students' lives. Your support is fostering a love for reading that will last far beyond the classroom.”
With gratitude,
Mr. Rodriguez

Funded Jan 6, 2025On behalf of San Miguel El, I want to extend our deepest gratitude for your generous donation of earphones for our Social-Emotional Learning (SEL) program. Your support is making a meaningful impact on our students, allowing them to engage in their learning through listening in a more focused and effective way.
These earphones have been instrumental in helping our students access SEL resources, mindfulness exercises, and educational content tailored to their individual needs. By providing them with the tools to learn in a way that supports their emotional and academic growth, you are directly contributing to their success and well-being.
Your generosity reflects a true commitment to empowering young learners, and we are incredibly thankful for your partnership. Seeing the students benefit from these resources every day is a reminder of how much of a difference community support can make.
Thank you again for your kindness and for investing in the future of our students. We truly appreciate your support!”
With gratitude,
Mr. Rodriguez
