Your generosity has already made a meaningful difference in how my students learn and engage with their work.\r\n\r\nThe color printer has become an invaluable tool in our classroom. It allows me to create clearer, more engaging instructional materials, especially when using charts, diagrams, and visual supports. Color helps students better understand concepts, stay organized, and make connections across subjects like reading, math, and science. It has also allowed me to give more effective feedback on student work and provide materials that meet a wide range of learning needs.\r\n\r\nSeveral students have especially benefited from this new technology. Visual learners, English language learners, and students who need additional academic support find color-coded directions and highlighted information much easier to follow. Creative students also enjoy expressing their ideas through colorful projects, which has led to greater participation and enthusiasm in class.\r\n\r\nBecause of your support, our classroom is a more engaging, inclusive, and motivating place to learn. Thank you for investing in my students and helping them succeed.","fullyFundedDate":1758899155604,"projectUrl":"project/bring-our-learning-to-life-with-a-color/9418831/","projectTitle":"Bring Our Learning to Life with a Color Printer!","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Fitzpatrick","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-9_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/8168017"},{"teacherId":4623780,"projectId":9197761,"letterContent":"My students love engaging in activities that peak their curiosity and challenges their thinking. They work hard, are motivated and eager to learn. I wanted to keep in mind that they are still 5 and 6 year old students who still greatly benefit from learning though hands on activities.\r\n\r\nAs a school that introduced our students to computational thinking, it was great to see them put their understanding of algorithms when using Botley the robot. They love using their coding skills to make Botley come to life. They have also eagerly collaborated with their peers to find new ways to work with it.\r\nMaterials such as the magnetic blocks were a hit as my students love to use their imagination and see what they can create. The charging station is a tremendous help with keeping our devices charged for our tech station and the styluses have been so helpful for students to use as they are now learning proper letter formation with technology.\r\n\r\nWe have loved using our giant ten frame, not only with the provided counters but it's large enough for our students to stand in and represent numbers. It has added a pop of fun to the daily math skills that they are working on. These activities have helped them become more engaged and in turn more successful in mastering their goals.\r\n\r\nWe are thankful that you have given our students the sheer joy of play and meaningful ways to interact with others. Many of the materials provided are used at the end of the day during choice time and the STEM center has become the most popular since adding these activities.\r\n\r\nThank you so much for making these opportunities come to life by donating these much needed materials and for helping my kindergarteners enhance their learning while having fun.","fullyFundedDate":1744033103243,"projectUrl":"project/stem-fun-for-my-kindergarteners/9197761/","projectTitle":"STEM Fun for My Kindergarteners","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Vazquez","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp4623780_orig.jpg?crop=1:1,smart&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1726608068312","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/4623780"},{"teacherId":680972,"projectId":9200966,"letterContent":"On behalf of the students and my co-teacher at PS 68, thank you so much for your generous contribution to our new art supply closet.

This closet has created a more organized classroom environment. At the end of the school, year we were a belt to stick the closet and begin to use the supplies. We have already seen the excitement on their faces as they use these materials to bring their imaginations to life.\r\nThis art supply closet is more than just a piece of furniture; it is a vital resource that inspires innovation and joy every day.
