These tools have already made a meaningful impact in our classroom. I've been able to print photos of students holding up their work, posters, and special projects, which are now proudly displayed around the room. This has helped make students feel seen, valued, and truly part of our learning space. The printer has also allowed me to quickly and efficiently print materials tailored to each student's learning level, saving valuable instructional time and better supporting individual growth.\r\n\r\nOne of the highlights has been celebrating student achievements, such as earning our ST Math award with Jiji and the fanny pack. Students love earning this prize, and I'm able to take an instant photo to add to our classroom wall while also sending one home for families to celebrate alongside them. Looking ahead, I'm excited to use the camera during Open House to capture family photos that we can display at the beginning of the year, continuing to build our \"school family\" wall.\r\n\r\nThese resources have helped transform our classroom into a space that feels welcoming, safe, and inspiring—a true home away from home where students feel comfortable learning, growing, and creating. Thank you again for investing in our students and helping make this environment possible.","fullyFundedDate":1759971000396,"projectUrl":"project/crayons-to-color-prints-bringing-studen/9793771/","projectTitle":"Crayons to Color Prints: Bringing Student Work to Life","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Bell","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-4_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9695327"},{"teacherId":5997556,"projectId":9649585,"letterContent":"Thank you so much for helping support our Startin' off Gr-r-reat! project!
