This isn't just a machine; it's a vital tool that will transform our classroom environment and significantly enhance student learning for years to come. \r\nNow, we can create durable, professional-looking materials that withstand daily use by our young learners. \r\nThis laminator will be used for:\r\nMaking learning materials indestructible: Creating durable math games, vocabulary cards, etc that can be used year after year\r\nEnhancing classroom organization: Laminating classroom job charts, student name tags, and center signs.\r\nBoosting student engagement: Producing vibrant, long-lasting projects and educational displays that capture students' attention. \r\nYour contribution allows us to provide a richer, more engaging, and better-equipped learning space, saving valuable teacher time and making resources last longer.\r\nThank you again for investing in our students' education.","fullyFundedDate":1763207793930,"projectUrl":"project/laminating-machine/9658402/","projectTitle":"Laminating Machine","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Rama","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-9_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/3259917"},{"teacherId":8555827,"projectId":6597754,"letterContent":"Thank you so much for your incredible generosity and support of my DonorsChoose project. Because of you, my second grade students now have access to the writing supplies they need to grow as confident, capable writers. Your kindness has made a meaningful difference in our classroom, and I am deeply grateful for your belief in my students and their potential.\r\n\r\nWriting is such an important skill for young learners. It allows children to express their thoughts, share their stories, and make sense of the world around them. For many second graders, having the right tools—fresh pencils, colorful markers, quality paper, and engaging writing materials—can completely transform how they feel about writing. Thanks to your donation, my students are excited and motivated to write more often, for longer periods of time, and with greater pride in their work.\r\n\r\nThese supplies have already helped create more opportunities for authentic writing in our classroom. Students are journaling, drafting stories, responding to reading, and collaborating with classmates in ways that were not always possible before. I am seeing increased creativity, stronger stamina, and growing confidence as students realize that their ideas matter and deserve to be shared. For some children, this is the first time they feel truly equipped to call themselves \"writers,\" and that is incredibly powerful.\r\n\r\nYour support goes beyond materials—it sends a message to my students that people they may never meet care about their education and believe in their success. That sense of encouragement builds confidence and inspires them to try their best. When students know they are supported, they take more risks, push themselves further, and develop a love of learning that will stay with them long after second grade.\r\n\r\nAs a teacher, it means the world to have partners like you who understand the importance of investing in young learners. Your generosity allows me to focus on teaching and creating meaningful learning experiences, rather than worrying about whether my students have what they need to succeed. Because of you, our classroom is a place filled with creativity, growth, and excitement for learning.\r\n\r\nThank you again for making this project possible and for investing in the voices of my students. Your kindness is shaping their futures one story, sentence, and idea at a time. We are so thankful for you.","fullyFundedDate":1660060115888,"projectUrl":"project/inspiring-little-writers/6597754/","projectTitle":"Inspiring Little Writers!","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Winterstein","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-4_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/8555827"},{"teacherId":8555827,"projectId":9536355,"letterContent":"Thank you so much for your support! This year, my students have been able to access their materials, participate in distribution of items, and gain responsibility as mailbox crew members. This project has truly helped keep the classroom organized and provided classroom job opportunities for my second grade students. My students continue to feel excitement and positive opportunity as they apply for mailbox crew jobs and know exactly where to get their papers for the day/week. This project has helped to support a system that was very much needed in my classroom. This is definitely one of those projects that will benefit students year after year.

Because of you, we were able to purchase and install a giant whiteboard for our classroom, which previously had no wall space for writing. Now, I can use the Smartboard to display the problem while working it out on the large whiteboard. \r\n\r\nAdditionally, students use their small whiteboards every day to complete quick formative assessments that help me see which skills they have mastered and where they may still need support. \r\n\r\nAlthough these items are small, they are not trivial. The 4th-grade students from C.W. Henry School and I thank you for your overwhelming generosity.","fullyFundedDate":1757641959111,"projectUrl":"project/making-math-visible-see-it-solve-it-s/9671646/","projectTitle":"Making Math Visible: See it, Solve it, Show it!","teacherDisplayName":"Dr. Chattin","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-2_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/10188682"},{"teacherId":239847,"projectId":9165929,"letterContent":"Thank you so much for funding our project! We were able to provide at least one wobble stool and one wobble cushion for every table group. The students love having the option for active seating while working in their notebooks or on Chromebooks.\r\n\r\nWhen students helped to unbox, assemble the stools, and inflate the cushions, their excitement was clear! They've even used the wobble cushions in ways that I hadn't anticipated. For example, some students like to put a cushion under their feet and use it to gently pedal side to side for a little movement break.\r\n\r\nIn our class, students spend about half the period standing in groups at whiteboards, where they work together to discuss problems and make meaningful connections between Math concepts. We have a very active crew, so we truly appreciate your help in providing them with seating options that can still engage their brains and bodies, even when they're at their seats.","fullyFundedDate":1742245134035,"projectUrl":"project/flexible-seating-for-flexible-thinkers/9165929/","projectTitle":"Flexible Seating for Flexible Thinkers","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. T.","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp239847_orig.jpg?crop=892,892,x41,y19&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1627953004972","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/239847"},{"teacherId":10188682,"projectId":9622793,"letterContent":"Teaching in today's classrooms requires flexibility and tailoring instruction to meet students where they are. Thanks to your generous contributions, I have been able to use our small group table as a central location for help. Once we move into independent work, I go to the table, and students come to me when they don't understand. We do a little fine-tuning and they're off to finish their work independently. \r\n\r\nWe also use the table as a small group testing location. Using the table, I can read tests aloud to 5-6 students at a time. This is very helpful because our school doesn't have many alternative testing locations, and students often need that level of care to meet their IEP/504 accommodations.\r\n\r\nThis is only the beginning for our table.
