The smiley face rug has quickly become the heart of our classroom. Everyone loves finding their own spot, and it has made our group time feel cozy and fun. Transitions are smoother now, and the kids are so proud to have their very own space to sit and learn.\r\n\r\nThe mobile organizer and laminator have already made such a difference. The organizer helps both me and the students stay organized and independent, and the laminator lets me create learning tools that can be used again and again. The Play-Doh was also an instant favorite. My students had so much fun using it to help them with learning about arrays in math, all the way to simply having some time to play with it for a reward! \r\n\r\nThanks to your generosity, our classroom feels brighter, more organized, and more engaging than ever. We are excited to keep using these resources every day as we jump into new projects and lessons. Your support has truly made a difference, and my students and I are so grateful.","fullyFundedDate":1755567445324,"projectUrl":"project/teaching-needs-year-one/9616253/","projectTitle":"Teaching Needs Year One","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Julie","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp10184856_orig.jpg?crop=2136,2136,x0,y192&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1756860008975","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/10184856"},{"teacherId":10184856,"projectId":9700036,"letterContent":"I am so grateful for the generosity of everyone who helped fund our classroom printer project! This printer has already made a huge difference for my students. In our District 75 classroom, printed materials are an essential part of learning. Many of my students benefit from visual supports, step-by-step guides, and hands-on activities. Having access to a printer allows me to create individualized worksheets, visual schedules, behavior charts, and communication boards that directly support their unique learning needs. Instead of waiting days for printed materials, we can now create and use them instantly during lessons, helping my students stay engaged and focused.\r\n\r\nThe new printer has also made learning more exciting and interactive. My students love seeing their work printed out in color, whether it's a story they wrote, a completed math worksheet, or a class project. It gives them a sense of pride and ownership in their learning. They enjoy decorating our classroom with their printed work, which boosts their confidence and helps them celebrate their progress. Printing visuals for reading and behavior support has also helped many of my students better understand routines and expectations.","fullyFundedDate":1757679652619,"projectUrl":"project/needed-printer/9700036/","projectTitle":"Needed Printer!","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Julie","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp10184856_orig.jpg?crop=2136,2136,x0,y192&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1756860008975","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/10184856"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_132803","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":null,"numTeachers":null,"percentFrplEligible":74,"percentAsian":14,"percentBlack":16,"percentWhite":12,"percentIndigenous":1,"percentLatinx":34,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"Not specified","studentTeacherRatio":null,"demographicsDataSource":"MDR District Record","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":false,"metroType":"UNCLASSIFIED","ncesMetroType":null},"inStateSupporters":76.5,"schoolId":132803,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about PS/IS 25 @ St. Rita's on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"PS/IS 25 @ St. Rita's","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/new-york/new-york-city-dept-of-ed/ps-is-25-st-rita-s/132803"}
