With the book-binding machine and supplies, my Pre-K students were able to turn their drawings, scribbles, and early writing into real books they could hold, read, and proudly share. This technology supports early literacy by helping children understand that their ideas matter and that print has meaning. Seeing their work transformed into an actual book strengthens their confidence, storytelling skills, and love for reading and writing.\r\n\r\nThe most exciting part for my students is seeing their pages come together and realizing, \"I made this!\" Watching their faces light up when their books are bound is priceless. They treat their books with so much care, reread them to classmates, and even take on the role of \"teacher\" by sharing their stories aloud. It has made writing feel purposeful, fun, and empowering.\r\n\r\nSeveral students who were once hesitant to draw or write have especially warmed up to this experience. Children who are quieter or still developing fine motor skills now eagerly participate because their efforts are honored and celebrated. The book-binding process has helped build pride, motivation, and a sense of accomplishment for every child. Your support has given my students a voice and helped them see themselves as real authors—thank you for making that possible.","fullyFundedDate":1758898891900,"projectUrl":"project/little-authors-big-dreams-help-us-bind/9406038/","projectTitle":"Little Authors, Big Dreams: Help Us Bind Our Classroom Books!","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Lora","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp9721967_orig.jpg?crop=1078,1078,x80,y0&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1725116264793","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9721967"},{"teacherId":9721967,"projectId":9432530,"letterContent":"Thanks to your generosity, our classroom color printer has made a meaningful difference in how my Pre-K students learn and grow. While many donors may use printers at home, in a Pre-K classroom this technology supports early learning in very intentional ways.\r\n\r\nThe printer helps my students learn by providing colorful, developmentally appropriate materials that support early literacy, math, and fine motor skills. We use it to create letter charts, name cards, picture schedules, counting activities, and hands-on learning centers. The use of color is especially important for young children—it helps them recognize patterns, understand routines, and stay engaged during lessons.\r\n\r\nWhat excites my students the most is seeing familiar things printed just for them—especially their names, pictures, and class work. They light up when they receive a colorful worksheet or see their drawings and early writing printed and displayed in the classroom. It makes learning feel fun and special, and it helps them feel proud of their work.\r\n\r\nMany of my students have really warmed up to this technology, especially those who are still developing language skills. Visual supports printed in color help my English language learners better understand directions and participate confidently. Some of my quieter students have become more engaged when they see their work printed and celebrated, which has boosted their confidence and willingness to try new things.\r\n\r\nThis printer has allowed me to better meet the needs of my Pre-K learners by creating engaging, visual, and personalized materials that support their early learning journey. Your generosity has helped create a classroom where students feel excited, supported, and proud to learn every day.","fullyFundedDate":1758899073326,"projectUrl":"project/from-black-white-to-bold-bright/9432530/","projectTitle":"From Black & White to Bold & Bright","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Lora","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp9721967_orig.jpg?crop=1078,1078,x80,y0&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1725116264793","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9721967"},{"teacherId":10274116,"projectId":9746496,"letterContent":"I would like to express my sincere gratitude to DonorsChoose for making this project possible. As a teacher who recently relocated to New York City, I had to completely start over and was unable to bring any of my previous classroom materials with me. This meant building a new classroom entirely from scratch.\r\n\r\nWhat has this project done for my students?\r\nThe DonorsChoose project has given my students the opportunity to learn in a fun, engaging classroom filled with technology, vibrant visuals, and inspirational messages they can read every day.\r\n\r\nHow my classroom and students have benefited from the donated items:\r\nThe color printer and scanner allow me to print and display student work in color—something that truly brightens our learning environment. As a 3rd-grade teacher, one of my top priorities is to create a space that feels welcoming and inspiring. With the printer, scanner, and additional ink, I can produce colorful multiplication charts, ELA materials, and global images that support our social studies lessons. These resources help create an artistic, dynamic setting where students feel excited to learn.\r\nThe inspirational posters placed around the room motivate students and remind them that they can overcome challenges and self-doubt. The classroom calendar and digital clock help students stay organized, manage their time, and remain focused throughout the day. Many of them feel more motivated and independent when they can clearly see the date and time.\r\n\r\nAs a teacher, I spend many hours in the classroom after school planning strategically based on curriculum and student data. The comfortable computer chair has made a significant difference, allowing me to complete this important work with much more ease.\r\n\r\nHow students have benefited from the new technology:\r\nAll of my students have benefited from the technology provided. Every child now has meaningful access to tools that strengthen their core academic skills and support their growth in the classroom.\r\nOnce again, I want to say thank you to DonorsChoose for allowing me to create this project and for generously funding it.

Snack time has become one of their favorite moments — a time not only to nourish their bodies but also to build social connections, practice sharing, and develop independence. It's incredible to see their little faces light up as they enjoy their snacks and engage in meaningful conversations with friends.\r\n\r\nMany of our families face daily challenges, so having access to nutritious snacks at school provides peace of mind for both students and parents. Your kindness has helped ensure that no child in our classroom goes hungry or distracted, and that every child feels cared for and supported.\r\n\r\nFrom the bottom of my heart, thank you for believing in my students and helping create a classroom where they can thrive — one snack, one smile, and one lesson at a time.","fullyFundedDate":1746786116718,"projectUrl":"project/snack-time-smile-time-fueling-little-m/9199867/","projectTitle":"Snack Time, Smile Time: Fueling Little Minds in the Bronx","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Lora","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp9721967_orig.jpg?crop=1078,1078,x80,y0&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1725116264793","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9721967"},{"teacherId":22529,"projectId":9214656,"letterContent":"Thanks again for your generous donations.\r\n\r\nWe want to expose children in fields that share an emphasis on innovation, problem-solving, and critical thinking.

Each child was able to use their own set of supplies to draw, write, and decorate their posters with pride.\r\nWhen the students first saw the materials, their faces lit up with excitement. Several of them said, \"They had never gotten so many supplies \" It was wonderful to see their confidence grow as they realized they had the tools they needed to succeed. Something as simple as having their own sharp pencils or colorful markers gave them a sense of ownership and responsibility for their learning.\r\nIn addition, we were able to use the supplies for a science unit where students kept journals to record their observations and experiments.

I am writing to share the incredible impact your generous donation of books has had on my Pre-K students.\r\n\r\nThanks to your support, our classroom library has come to life with engaging, hands-on texts that connect directly to the areas of math, science, blocks, and art. These books have sparked meaningful conversations, inspired curiosity, and helped our little learners build connections between literacy and the world around them.\r\n\r\nIn our math center, books about counting, patterns, and shapes have made abstract concepts feel fun and concrete. Students now sit together with books in hand, pointing to numbers, comparing sizes, and proudly identifying patterns they see around the classroom.\r\n\r\nIn the science area, books about weather, plants, animals, and the five senses have encouraged exploration and observation. My students have become mini-scientists—asking questions, making predictions, and using new vocabulary they've picked up from these texts during their investigations.\r\n\r\nThe block center has become a space where building and storytelling go hand in hand. Books that feature bridges, buildings, and community helpers have inspired creative structures and role-play. Students are now using blocks to build what they read, deepening their comprehension and expanding their imagination.\r\n\r\nAnd in the art center, books that highlight colors, textures, famous artists, and self-expression have empowered students to see themselves as artists too. They're mixing colors with purpose, recreating illustrations they admire, and proudly sharing their masterpieces with classmates.\r\n\r\nMost importantly, these books have created joyful moments of learning, discovery, and connection. Watching my students light up as they explore these books reminds me of the power of literacy in early childhood education—and the importance of access to high-quality resources.\r\n\r\nThank you, from the bottom of my heart, for believing in our classroom and supporting our young learners. You've planted seeds of knowledge and joy that will continue to grow each day.\r\n\r\nWith deep gratitude,\r\nLina Lora\r\nPre-K Teacher","fullyFundedDate":1739410474279,"projectUrl":"project/building-a-diverse-and-engaging-library/9068931/","projectTitle":"Building a Diverse and Engaging Library","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Lora","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp9721967_orig.jpg?crop=1078,1078,x80,y0&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1725116264793","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9721967"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_304","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":336,"numTeachers":48,"percentFrplEligible":94,"percentAsian":0,"percentBlack":29,"percentWhite":2,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":65,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"K - 5","studentTeacherRatio":"7.0:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"URBAN","ncesMetroType":"CITY_LARGE"},"inStateSupporters":61.2,"schoolId":304,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about PS 140 Eagle School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"PS 140 Eagle School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/new-york/new-york-city-dept-of-ed/ps-140-eagle-school/304"}
