We can independently make and print activities in the classroom while not relying on other avenues or going without. We can now make a variety of eye appealing in bright color! Instead of having black and white photos, we can now have bright and sparkling pictures that the children can enjoy and use. The increase of the students engagement is fantastic to see!\r\n\r\nWe have already made visual schedules, behavior charts, fire safety booklet and a variety of math and reading mats. We made recess rules, clean up expectations and how to be good friends printout. The child pay attention longer and enjoy the activities. They become more involved to activities that give them interest. \r\n\r\nWe made charts that assist children to have a positive experiences during the day, such as First and Then and visual schedules. The students understand better if pictures are in color. One of the best parts is that we can quickly print what we need as the printer is in the classroom.\r\n\r\nMy class and I would like to thank you from the bottom of our hearts for purchasing the color printer and ink. The printer is easy to use. The ink canisters last forever and print out with bright colors. We can now easily make and print colorful projects, photos, and pictures in our classroom, in our own classroom and make them quickly. Thank you for your kindness thinking about us.","fullyFundedDate":1746741625098,"projectUrl":"project/help-our-pre-k-students-voices-be-heard/9155345/","projectTitle":"Help Our Pre-K Students Voices Be Heard Through Visuals.","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. ROSS","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-9_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/7722976"},{"teacherId":9793585,"projectId":8865481,"letterContent":"I want to extend my heartfelt thanks for your generous donation that helped bring a brand-new rug into our classroom. Your support through DonorsChoose has truly made a meaningful difference in the daily experience of my students.\r\nThe rug has quickly become a central part of our learning environment.

Unfortunately, the room was left in disarray when the original teacher left. This caused me to feel unorganized and in disarray myself. The products you helped my classroom get has helped in so many ways.\r\n\r\nThe new student mailboxes have made passing back assignments, announcements, and other forms a breeze. Students had their own clearly labeled mailbox and it was placed right outside the closet door. When students pack up at dismissal, they pass right by their mailbox, which makes dismissal time a breeze! The headphones allowed students to complete their independent work, as many of their assignments have audio. Before these headphones, we would hear the noise of many computers, which made it almost impossible. We were donated MANY boxes of pencils as well! This was so helpful! We even have enough to do a monthly \"pencil challenge\", which is super fun! The automatic pencil sharpener we received is awesome! Students LOVE to watch their pencil get sharpened automatically! It is like our little classroom robot. Also, the colored paper we received has been so helpful, allowing us to send home important notices in bright colors so they are easily seen and recognized!\r\n\r\nThank you so much for all you have done.
