Because of you, our classroom is now equipped with essential learning tools such as pencils, crayons, sharpeners, a colorful printer, a laminator with lamination sheets, and many more supplies that help create an organized, engaging, and welcoming learning environment for my students each day.\r\n\r\nThe technology and materials you funded have greatly enhanced how my students learn. The colorful printer and laminator allow me to create visually engaging lessons, durable learning centers, and hands-on materials that support different learning styles. Students are able to interact with lessons more meaningfully, practice skills independently, and stay focused and motivated. These tools help me better support diverse learners by providing clear visuals, structured activities, and accessible resources that make learning more inclusive and effective.\r\n\r\nWhat excites my students most is having materials that feel special and made just for them. My students take pride in using new crayons and pencils, working with laminated learning tools, and seeing their work displayed in bright colors. Several students who were once hesitant or lacked confidence have shown increased engagement and enthusiasm, especially when working with hands-on materials that make learning feel fun and achievable. Because of your generosity, my students are gaining confidence, independence, and a love for learning that will last far beyond second grade.","fullyFundedDate":1758899258062,"projectUrl":"project/bringing-color-and-creativity-to-our-cla/9666734/","projectTitle":"Bringing Color and Creativity to Our Classroom!","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Ahumah","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-1_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/10234041"},{"teacherId":2528220,"projectId":9931356,"letterContent":"Thank you so much for your generous support of our classroom!

It allows us to quickly print worksheets, letter practice pages, math activities, and visual supports that reinforce what students are learning on their devices. This is especially helpful for kindergarteners, who learn best when they can connect technology with hands-on practice like tracing, coloring, cutting, and building early writing skills.\r\n\r\nWhat excites students most is seeing their work come to life. They love watching their drawings, writing, and completed activities print out and become something they can hold, share, and take home. It builds excitement and helps them feel proud of their efforts, especially when they can show their families what they learned at school.\r\n\r\nSeveral students have especially benefited from the printer. Children who struggle with fine motor skills gain extra practice through printed tracing and handwriting pages. English language learners benefit from visual supports and picture-based activities printed just for them. One student who was hesitant to write is now more confident because they can practice with personalized worksheets, while another beams with pride when their work is printed and displayed in the classroom. Overall, this printer has helped our Austin kindergarten students feel successful, supported, and excited about learning every day.","fullyFundedDate":1758899063393,"projectUrl":"project/color-their-world/9709999/","projectTitle":"Color Their World","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Perez","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp10013890_orig.jpg?crop=1:1,smart&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1746568589550","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/10013890"},{"teacherId":9362183,"projectId":9340223,"letterContent":"We would like to take a moment to thank you for your generosity for donating materials for our project \"Fun in OT.\" The students and I have very much enjoyed exploring and having fun with the alphabet beads, puzzles and sorting toys.
