Your donation has made a profound and lasting impact—not only on my teaching, but on the daily learning experiences of my students. Because of you, our classroom is more intentional, more engaging, and more responsive to student needs.\r\n\r\nHaving a desktop all-in-one computer in the classroom allows me to be a proactive and highly intentional teacher. It serves as a central hub where I can efficiently plan lessons, organize resources, and create tailored instructional materials that meet each student where they are. I am able to display content for whole-group instruction while simultaneously managing student work, tracking progress, and providing real-time feedback. This dual functionality allows me to intervene quickly when students struggle, differentiate instruction effectively, and keep lessons interactive and engaging.\r\n\r\nThe reliability and consistency of a stationary desktop at the front of the room has been a game-changer. Essential programs, presentations, and classroom management tools remain open and accessible at all times, creating smoother transitions and maximizing instructional time. With the desktop anchoring whole-group lessons, I am free to move around the classroom with my laptop—working with small groups, checking for understanding, managing behavior more effectively, and providing immediate, targeted support.\r\n\r\nThis combination of a stationary desktop and a mobile laptop has transformed how learning happens in our classroom. Students benefit from increased one-on-one interaction, quicker feedback, and a classroom environment that is supportive, flexible, and focused on their success. Learning objectives are met more efficiently, engagement is higher, and students feel seen, supported, and empowered.\r\n\r\nYour generosity has directly enhanced the quality of instruction and the daily experiences of every student in this room. Thank you for believing in education, in teachers, and in the potential of our students. Your impact will be felt every single day.","fullyFundedDate":1767224374508,"projectUrl":"project/classroom-structure/9907873/","projectTitle":"Classroom Structure","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Sutton","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp10353009_orig.jpg?crop=2316,2316,x0,y254&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1763417481416","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/10353009"},{"teacherId":10353009,"projectId":9908275,"letterContent":"Thank you so much for your generous donation of a classroom printer. Your support has had a meaningful and immediate impact on both my students and our daily learning environment, and we truly appreciate your kindness.\r\n\r\nHaving a small printer in our classroom has completely changed how quickly and effectively I can respond to student needs. I am now able to print materials instantly as students need them—whether it's last-minute worksheets, individualized intervention pages, behavior charts, fluency passages, or modified assignments. This allows me to provide true on-demand interventions the moment I notice a skill gap, without delaying instruction or disrupting learning.\r\n\r\nThe printer has also given students greater independence and access to learning tools. Students can print graphic organizers, project materials, reference sheets, and visuals that support their understanding and organization. Being able to print in color has made an especially big difference. Color-coded notes, highlighted text, and visual supports are clearer, more engaging, and far more effective—particularly for visual learners and students who benefit from structured supports.\r\n\r\nInstead of leaving the classroom or relying on an office printer, we can now print exactly what is needed in real time. This keeps instruction flowing smoothly and ensures students receive support when it matters most. The printer has helped me stay organized, intentional, and proactive while ensuring every learner receives timely, individualized, and visually supportive materials.\r\n\r\nWe are incredibly grateful for your generosity and belief in our classroom. Your donation has made a lasting difference in how we teach, learn, and support one another every day. Thank you for helping create a more responsive, supportive, and effective learning environment for our students.","fullyFundedDate":1768486443807,"projectUrl":"project/quick-technology/9908275/","projectTitle":"Quick Technology","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Sutton","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp10353009_orig.jpg?crop=2316,2316,x0,y254&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1763417481416","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/10353009"},{"teacherId":10353009,"projectId":9901368,"letterContent":"Thank you for your generous donation and support of our classroom. Your contribution has made a meaningful difference in how technology is used to support students, improve classroom structure, and enhance individualized instruction.\r\n\r\nHaving a laptop in the classroom is essential because it provides the flexibility to move freely throughout the room while staying fully connected to lessons, instructional tools, and student data. Instead of being tied to a single workstation, I can work directly alongside students at their desks, offering real-time intervention support and immediate feedback. This mobility allows instruction to remain student-centered and responsive to individual needs.\r\n\r\nThe laptop has significantly improved classroom structure by allowing smooth transitions between whole-group instruction, small-group intervention, and one-on-one support. During small-group or individual work time, I can pull up progress-monitoring data instantly, record observations, and adjust instruction on the spot. This efficiency ensures that instructional time is maximized and that student needs are addressed immediately rather than delayed.\r\n\r\nAdditionally, the ability to transport the device has strengthened collaboration and organization beyond the classroom. I can bring the laptop to meetings, professional development sessions, and collaborative planning times while maintaining access to student data, lesson plans, and intervention materials. At home, it allows me to prepare differentiated lessons, create assessments, analyze data, and develop targeted intervention plans—helping me stay proactive and well-prepared.\r\n\r\nOverall, this donation has enhanced my ability to teach responsively, support students effectively, and maintain consistent, high-quality instruction wherever my work takes place. Most importantly, it has positively impacted students by ensuring they receive timely support in an organized, flexible, and engaging learning environment.\r\n\r\nThank you again for your generosity and for investing in meaningful learning opportunities for students. Your support truly makes a difference.","fullyFundedDate":1767224187888,"projectUrl":"project/intentional-intervention/9901368/","projectTitle":"Intentional Intervention","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Sutton","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp10353009_orig.jpg?crop=2316,2316,x0,y254&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1763417481416","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/10353009"},{"teacherId":10353009,"projectId":9904430,"letterContent":"Thank you for your generous support of our recent classroom technology project. Your investment has had a meaningful and immediate impact on my students' learning experience, and I am truly grateful for your generosity.\r\n\r\nThe new dual-screen technology has significantly improved how my students learn and how I am able to support them. During instruction, students can clearly view reading passages, math problems, or digital activities on one screen while I use the second screen to monitor progress, score responses, and record data in real time. This allows me to stay focused on each student without interrupting instruction or breaking engagement.\r\n\r\nOne of the most exciting aspects of this technology for students is how clear and accessible everything feels. When working one-on-one or in small groups, students can easily see what they are being asked to read or solve, which reduces confusion and anxiety—especially during assessments. The setup has also allowed us to create a cleaner, more organized testing center where distractions are minimized and students can focus fully on their work.\r\n\r\nSeveral students have especially warmed to this new technology, particularly those who benefit from individualized support. Students who struggle with attention, reading fluency, or test confidence feel more comfortable when they can clearly see tasks on the screen while receiving immediate feedback. This has helped boost both their confidence and their performance.\r\n\r\nFrom a teaching perspective, the dual-screen setup allows me to run instruction and planning side by side without interruption. While students work through tasks, I can score fluency, type anecdotal notes, update progress charts, and reference lesson plans or intervention strategies at the same time. During meetings and intervention planning, I can view student data, graphs, and accommodations on one screen while taking notes or drafting plans on the other. This has made it easier to notice learning patterns early, adjust instruction quickly, and stay proactive with interventions.\r\n\r\nTogether, this technology has helped me stay organized, responsive, and effective as I support my students and prepare to step into my upcoming role as an intervention specialist. Most importantly, it has created a more supportive and focused learning environment for the students who need it most.\r\n\r\nThank you again for believing in our classroom and for making this positive change possible. Your support is truly making a difference.","fullyFundedDate":1763582964129,"projectUrl":"project/extending-learning/9904430/","projectTitle":"Extending Learning","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Sutton","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp10353009_orig.jpg?crop=2316,2316,x0,y254&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1763417481416","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/10353009"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_35574","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":736,"numTeachers":34,"percentFrplEligible":68,"percentAsian":0,"percentBlack":0,"percentWhite":82,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":11,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"Pre-K - 5","studentTeacherRatio":"21.6:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":false,"metroType":"SUBURBAN","ncesMetroType":"SUBURB_SMALL"},"inStateSupporters":83.7,"schoolId":35574,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Castle Rock Elementary School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Castle Rock Elementary School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/washington/castle-rock-school-district-401/castle-rock-elementary-school/35574"}
