The printer is housed in the front office so our whole staff is able to use it to print incentives for specific students who meet their attendance and/or a behavioral goal. \r\nI have used it with a student who struggles with basic emotional regulation. He has chosen a fidget spinner and a cone shaped fidget. He knows what he is working for in my group and what it will take for him to earn them. It has helped me engage him more than before. He likes the idea that we printed it at school and it is something he can earn and take home. \r\n\r\nThe secretaries have printed a few items to use with students who remain after school when their adults run late at pick up. The favorites are a long \"leaf dragon\" and small \"coyotes\" (our mascot) that they play with instead of walking around wondering what to do at the end of the day. \r\n\r\nThese small items make a BIG impact with students and staff and I cannot thank you enough for your help in funding the machine and filament!","fullyFundedDate":1755897881886,"projectUrl":"project/3d-printed-creations-incentives/9610282/","projectTitle":"3d Printed Creations Incentives!","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Stoddard","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/272x272/tp807929_272x272.jpg?width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1473806564297","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/jennknorr"},{"teacherId":4667313,"projectId":8802755,"letterContent":"To some, a carpet may not seem like a very big deal, but to a Kindergarten it is essential! We use this new carpet every single day for our floor seating option in our classroom library. Students can use this flexible seating option throughout reading, writing, math and all content lessons. It also helps to subtly define the space and make the library corner feel a bit more cozy. It is also such good quality that I will be able to use it for many, many years to come!\r\n\r\nWhen the new carpet arrived in the classroom, the students were clamoring over each other to get a look and then to try it out! Squeals of delights and soft oohs and ahhs were heard after we got it opened up and rolled out. They liked the way it looked, but most of my kiddos were happier about how soft it is! Since then it has been used about four or five times a day every single school day by individuals and small groups of kids! They build towers of hexagons, triangles and square blocks on it. They read with friends and book characters while sprawling out on it. They write exciting stories in their journals, practice matching alphabet sounds and drive race cars around it! This simple little carpet is already making a big impact on our lovely little classroom!","fullyFundedDate":1734550533068,"projectUrl":"project/a-cozy-carpet/8802755/","projectTitle":"A Cozy Carpet","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Schmidt","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/272x272/tp4667313_272x272.png?width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1508125625410","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/4667313"},{"teacherId":8562482,"projectId":8626608,"letterContent":"Thank you for your generosity.

They were surprised to see the variety of genre books that they could all read during the school year.\r\nMy second grade students have enjoyed reading new books at their reading level during quiet time. Quiet time is a good time where students read quietly in the classroom by themselves.\r\nStudents are learning about text features and they are understanding the books better.","fullyFundedDate":1730726232230,"projectUrl":"project/read-to-achieve-and-succeed/8598946/","projectTitle":"Read to Achieve and Succeed","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Parra","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp8122482_orig.jpg?crop=1:1,smart&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1720628648046","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/8122482"},{"teacherId":3052503,"projectId":8512548,"letterContent":"There are some moments in my job as a teacher that stand out above the rest.

It's hard to describe the pure joy that comes from a classroom of 5 year olds when they receive supplies such as this! Your donations have provided materials that are SO loved by children. \r\n\r\nThrough these blocks students are able to build, create, problem solve, share, and think outside of the box! They don't even realize how many skills they are developing through their play. \r\n\r\nWhat's even better is these blocks will last for YEARS, which means your impact is not just on the group of children this year, but in all the years to come!

You would think that would be the most favored part, but even though they do love it, the fridge has also been a tremendous treat for my kiddos! They love that they can play pretend ice maker and store all the food we have in both the freezer and the fridge sides!! \r\nMy students are increasing their skills in speaking, listening, reading, writing, math and socially and emotionally all through the very busy and very fun play they have everyday in our new kitchen! \r\nWe even turned the package arrival into a great writing and oral language lesson! We turned it into a prediction lesson and a graphing lesson! I had all the kids talk and write about what they thought might be in the boxes first. Then I didn't open them until the next day because I wanted to take the time to set everything up. When they walked in in the morning the smiles they all had were so big it was infectious!

Also, the social emotional skills they must put in place to work out disputes or even to play fairly without any argument is such great experience for all of them! They are even using their math skills to distribute items and will eventually add in more reading and writing skills along with their play because in a few weeks we'll turn the kitchen into a restaurant with menus, ordering and more!

My students also appreciate how clean their classroom carpet is after a good vacuuming. It doesn't matter what time of year, there is always something to track in from outside, especially bark chips. The carpet is where most of their learning happens and it always feels better to learn in a clean space.

Our school has two Chromebook storage and charging carts for the three 1st grade classes. Our class does not have a cart in the classroom and our class Chromebooks are split between the other two rooms. \r\nBefore our DonorsChoose project, students had to find their Chromebook in one of two crates, which were heavy, hard to sort through, and lead to many Chromebooks falling over as students pulled theirs out. Now, we have a storage unit that allows each student to quickly and independently find their number, as well as take and replace their Chromebook safely. Not to mention, the wooden unit is much more attractive than the milk crates that we were previously using!\r\nThe other storage solutions that we got from this project make classroom materials much easier to find and use.
