They loved the bright crayon colors and immediately started doodling and writing kind messages to each other.

These items have already made a tremendous difference in both our daily routines and our ongoing classroom projects.\r\nThe clear storage bins have helped us organize our learning centers in a way that is visually accessible for all students. Each bin now holds specific materials—such as math manipulatives, art supplies, or literacy station tools—which has made transitions smoother and increased students' independence. The Techni Mobili storage box has become our \"project hub,\" where students store in-progress assignments and collaborative work. The binders have allowed us to create individual student portfolios, making it easy for them to track their growth and reflect on their learning.\r\nOne specific moment that stands out occurred during our recent classroom project on community. Students were able to gather materials from the clearly labeled bins and use their binders to store research notes and drawings. Because the materials were organized and easy to find, they were able to focus more on creativity and collaboration rather than searching for supplies.\r\nWhen the students first saw the new materials, they were genuinely excited—several even commented on how \"official\" and \"grown-up\" their new project binders made them feel. The clear bins sparked immediate curiosity, and students began offering ideas on what should go where. Their enthusiasm made it clear that these resources are not just helpful—they are motivating.\r\nWith your support, our class is now moving into the next phase of our community project. Students will be using their binders to compile a final booklet that showcases what they've learned, while the organized materials will allow them to create dioramas representing different roles in the community. These resources will continue to support our daily lessons long after this project is complete, giving students a structured and engaging environment to learn in.\r\nThank you again for investing in our classroom. Your generosity has had an immediate and meaningful impact on my students, and we are truly grateful.","fullyFundedDate":1757421774428,"projectUrl":"project/clear-and-present-learning-part-2/9397584/","projectTitle":"Clear and Present Learning Part 2","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Ogieste","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp9323707_orig.jpg?crop=1:1,smart&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1697054552127","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/ms-ogieste"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_1146","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":768,"numTeachers":60,"percentFrplEligible":82,"percentAsian":27,"percentBlack":11,"percentWhite":15,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":42,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"K - 5","studentTeacherRatio":"12.8:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"URBAN","ncesMetroType":"CITY_LARGE"},"inStateSupporters":49.6,"schoolId":1146,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about PS 13 M L Lindemeyer on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"PS 13 M L Lindemeyer","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/new-york/new-york-city-dept-of-ed/ps-13-m-lindemeyer/1146"}
