Because of you, our students now have access to 3D printers that are changing how they learn and engage with school in meaningful ways.\r\n\r\nThe 3D printers allow students to use technology as a learning and problem-solving tool. Students are designing, measuring, testing, and revising their own ideas. During our Space Unit, students used the printers to create rockets they designed themselves. This required them to apply science concepts, mathematical reasoning, and engineering skills as they turned digital designs into real, physical objects.\r\n\r\nThe most exciting part for students is seeing their ideas come to life. Watching a rocket they designed on a computer slowly print layer by layer is incredibly motivating. Students feel a strong sense of pride and ownership because each design is uniquely theirs. When something doesn't work as planned, they are eager to problem-solve, make changes, and try again—an important real-world skill.\r\n\r\nThese 3D printers will continue to be used for future projects, including designing Mars habitats, creating models, and tackling STEM challenges that connect learning to real-world applications.\r\n\r\nYour generosity has given our students hands-on experiences that spark curiosity, creativity, and confidence. Thank you for making learning more engaging and for helping our students see themselves as innovators and creators.","fullyFundedDate":1760564739568,"projectUrl":"project/next-gen-makers-the-3d-frontier/9792931/","projectTitle":"“Next-Gen Makers: The 3D Frontier”","teacherDisplayName":"Mr. Schonauer","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp1638855_orig.jpg?crop=395,395,x0,y28&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1566942617230","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/mr-schonauer"},{"teacherId":2446326,"projectId":9845270,"letterContent":"Thank you so much for contributing to my classroom.

Being able to print in color allows me to create engaging worksheets, charts, and visuals that help students better understand and connect with the curriculum. Whether it's anchor charts for reading, graphic organizers for writing, or math models that are easier to follow in color, the quality of our classroom resources has noticeably improved. Students are more excited to use materials that are visually appealing and easier to read.\r\n\r\nHaving access to color printing has also made it possible to personalize learning tools for students who need extra support. I can now print color-coded reminders, individualized goal sheets, and behavior supports that truly stand out and meet their needs.

The donated colored ink has enriched our learning environment and added a level of clarity, creativity, and professionalism to everything I prepare for my class.","fullyFundedDate":1763474712631,"projectUrl":"project/bring-our-classroom-back-to-life-in-colo/9879146/","projectTitle":"Bring Our Classroom Back to Life in Color!","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Born","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp9017800_orig.jpg?width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1683215869189","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9017800"},{"teacherId":9017800,"projectId":9892654,"letterContent":"The calming supplies have made a wonderful positive impact on my classroom environment. With tools like Play-Doh, fidgets, and other sensory items available, students now have accessible and appropriate ways to regulate their emotions throughout the day. These materials help them manage feelings of stress, anxiety, or frustration in a healthy way, allowing them to return to learning with clearer minds and calmer bodies. I've noticed students becoming more confident in recognizing when they need a break and choosing a tool that supports them.\r\n\r\nThese resources have also helped create a more inclusive and supportive atmosphere for all learners. Students who may struggle with focus or big emotions now have strategies that truly work for them, leading to smoother transitions, fewer disruptions, and a greater sense of classroom community.

Because our school building is older, dust and allergens tend to build up quickly, and students often notice when the room feels stuffy. Since adding the purifier, the air feels noticeably cleaner and fresher throughout the day. Several students have mentioned that it's easier to breathe and focus during lessons, especially on days when outdoor air quality is poor.\r\n\r\nBeyond the physical benefits, the purifier has also contributed to a calmer learning environment. When students feel comfortable, they are naturally more engaged and ready to learn. I've seen fewer distractions caused by coughing, sneezing, or general discomfort.

As the first grade team lead, these resources didn't just benefit my classroom-they supported every teacher on our grade level. Your kindness truly multiplied, reaching many more children then you may have realized\r\n The marble run with glowing marbles has quickly become a student favorite! It has turned our STEM time into a joyful explosion of force, motion, and problem solving. Watching students work together has been such a rewarding experience.\r\n We are so incredibly thankful for the modeling clay. It has become an essential tool during our animal unit, allowing students to create their own animal figurines and bring their learning to life. Their pride and creativity shine through every project.\r\n Your generosity has made a meaningful, lasting difference-not only in our classroom, but across our entire first grade team.

Thanks to your generous donations my students have plenty of sharp pencils. They are lasting a long time because I reward students for keeping their pencils in their pouch. Students are getting a small treat if they turn in the original pencils I give them every Wednesday. I love that students learn responsibility. All I have to say is I am collecting your pencils and not a single pencil is lost on my floor. \r\n My parents love the laminated homework/communication folders that I send home weekly. Since they are laminated, they last for the whole year and papers are neat and organized. Homework is easy to collect, and the students love the vivid color of their folders.\r\n The new privacy partitions replaced the ones that were torn, dirty, or falling apart after many years. These partitions prevent wandering eyes on a test which prevents cheating.\r\nAs you can see from the pictures, I put their name on each homework folder. I use these labels weekly for numerous projects. I also put the book level and quiz number on each classroom library book, so students can find and take a reading quiz quickly. So far, my students have read over 470 books! I am proud of their reading accomplishments.

So far, students read about Cranberries and various types of spiders. One spider actually resembles a ladybug which is fascinating!\r\n I give away the big edition which is a poster size rendition of the magazine. Students compete by answering questions about the article we read together. They are so proud when they win the big edition. Students get to take their magazines home to read with parents and siblings.\r\n We use the online edition each time to learn new vocabulary words, play games, and watch videos about the selected topic.
