Without it, so much of the *magic* simply cannot happen. Printers are needed for all areas of teaching. I need it for collecting student data, for progress monitoring students, for printing independent work and recording sheets for students to show what they know, and for printing templates and examples for the incredible art, science, and social studies that we do every day. \r\n\r\nMy kindergartners might not know or understand the value of a classroom printer, but they DO know that they love learning and they love having everything they need ready to go. They know that the work they produce is important, and that they show what they know with each activity we complete.\r\n\r\nThank you for seeing the value of me, my students, and the work that we do. Public education is so often under attack these days, but there are still so many people out there willing to fund and protect public schools and their students. For that, I am forever grateful.","fullyFundedDate":1738901638720,"projectUrl":"project/classroom-printer-for-eager-kindergarten/9099897/","projectTitle":"Classroom Printer for Eager Kindergarten Learners!","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Fowler","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp60643_orig.jpg?crop=2316,2316,x0,y386&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1738778817138","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/mrs-fowler"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_7367","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":434,"numTeachers":17,"percentFrplEligible":16,"percentAsian":8,"percentBlack":0,"percentWhite":46,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":23,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"Pre-K - 6","studentTeacherRatio":"25.5:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":false,"titleOne":false,"metroType":"URBAN","ncesMetroType":"CITY_LARGE"},"inStateSupporters":90.2,"schoolId":7367,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Mount Washington Elementary School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Mount Washington Elementary School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/california/los-angeles-unified-school-district/mt-washington-elementary-school/7367"}
