For many of my students, having a cozy place to learn has made a meaningful difference in their ability to focus and feel safe at school.\r\n\r\nThe Amazon Kindles have been especially impactful in supporting literacy and differentiated instruction. Students can access texts at their individual reading levels, explore new genres, and engage with reading in a way that feels accessible and motivating.

The hydroponic growing systems have been especially impactful. Students are growing herbs and vegetables indoors and observing plant growth without soil, which has completely changed how they think about agriculture. They are actively tracking plant development, measuring growth, adjusting nutrients, and problem-solving when challenges arise. This hands-on experience introduces them to cutting-edge agricultural methods while helping them understand real-world issues like food insecurity, climate change, and sustainable farming practices.\r\n\r\nBecause of your generosity, my students aren't just learning science—they're experiencing it.

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.
