The technology and materials from this project are already supporting daily instruction and helping students participate more actively in their learning.\r\n\r\nMany donors may be familiar with technology at home, but in our classroom the Epson EcoTank printer plays an important role in learning. It allows me to quickly print math practice, small-group materials, and student-created work, giving students timely resources and opportunities to apply new skills. Students are excited to see their work printed, shared, and used during lessons, which helps them take pride in what they create.\r\n\r\nThe movable whiteboard has been especially exciting for students. They enjoy coming up to model their thinking, solve problems, and explain strategies to classmates. This has encouraged more participation, especially from students who are more comfortable sharing ideas visually. The colorful dry-erase markers and math posters make lessons clearer and more inviting, helping students stay focused and engaged.\r\n\r\nThe new chair has made small-group and one-on-one instruction more comfortable and sustainable, allowing me to spend more time working closely with students who need extra support. Several students who benefit from hands-on learning have especially warmed to using the whiteboard and printed materials, as these tools allow them to interact with math concepts in a concrete way.\r\n\r\nEvery item in this project—right down to the laminating supplies and classroom snacks—has helped create a welcoming environment where students feel supported, encouraged, and ready to learn. Thank you for making these meaningful improvements possible for our classroom and for investing in our students' daily learning experiences.","fullyFundedDate":1765802084834,"projectUrl":"project/printing-posting-and-powered-up-learni/9645511/","projectTitle":"Printing, Posting, and Powered-up Learning","teacherDisplayName":"Mr. Belarmino","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp10166345_orig.png?crop=2000,2000,x0,y0&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1754828942346","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/10166345"},{"teacherId":9802672,"projectId":9271298,"letterContent":"I hope this message finds you well.

These simple yet impactful materials make a huge difference in creating a fun, focused, and productive learning environment.\r\n\r\nMany of my students rely on the school for most of their supplies, and with your help, I can ensure that no child feels left behind due to a lack of basic tools.
