The printer has given me the opportunity to provide instantaneous class handouts, data for students, letters to parents, and so much more. The laminators are huge favorite of the students. They are able to create precious memories to keep and share with others. Projects are preserved.\r\n\r\nEach day students use the dry erase markers and erasers. These have been a big hit in our daily writing of solving math problems and engaging activities. Without your support many of the students would not have enjoyed the special treats that were provided. The materials received have helped these students to experience math and science in a different way. We appreciate everything that you have done!","fullyFundedDate":1755652046541,"projectUrl":"project/the-rise-of-bright-new-beginnings/9469700/","projectTitle":"The Rise of Bright New Beginnings","teacherDisplayName":"Dr. Thompson","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp4088344_orig.jpg?crop=296,296,x0,y36&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1694058472695","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/zaragozacheerleaders"},{"teacherId":5699362,"projectId":9451647,"letterContent":"When our new tools arrived, my students were immediately curious and excited—\"Are we really fixing our own desks?!\" one of them asked. Together, we opened the boxes, learned how to safely use each tool, and got to work tightening loose screws and stabilizing wobbly tables. It became an instant hands-on STEM moment about problem solving and teamwork.\r\n\r\nNow, our classroom feels brand new. Students take pride in caring for their space, and they've even started suggesting creative display ideas using the new tools. We recently used them to build and hang colorful showcase boards for our \"Genius Lab 626\" projects and student-created artwork in the hallway. Watching their faces light up as they saw their work displayed for everyone to see was priceless—one student said, \"It looks like a museum of our ideas!\"\r\n\r\nThese tools have given my students ownership of their learning environment and a sense of responsibility that goes far beyond fixing desks. Our next step is to expand this creativity by designing interactive learning stations and display spaces around the school where other students can explore what our gifted learners create.\r\n\r\nThanks to your support, our students don't just learn in their classroom—they build it, care for it, and make it shine.","fullyFundedDate":1752448596390,"projectUrl":"project/fix-build-learn-a-hardware-project/9451647/","projectTitle":"Fix, Build, Learn: A Hardware Project","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. V","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp5699362_orig.jpg?crop=1:1,smart&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1724609534839","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/5699362"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_18393","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":349,"numTeachers":37,"percentFrplEligible":84,"percentAsian":0,"percentBlack":11,"percentWhite":2,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":83,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"Pre-K - 5","studentTeacherRatio":"9.4:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"URBAN","ncesMetroType":"CITY_LARGE"},"inStateSupporters":64.2,"schoolId":18393,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Oran M Roberts Elementary School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Oran M Roberts Elementary School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/texas/dallas-independent-school-district/oran-m-roberts-elementary-school/18393"}
