Many of our families experience limited internet access, language barriers, or frequent moves, which can make digital-only learning difficult. Having reliable access to a printer allows us to provide students with hands-on learning materials they can use both at school and at home. We are now able to print differentiated worksheets, intervention packets, and progress trackers that support students who have experienced interruptions in their education and need targeted academic support.\r\n\r\nWhat excites students most is having materials they can actually hold, use, and take ownership of. Printed learning packets, reading activities, and math practice help students feel more confident and prepared, especially those who struggle with online platforms or are still developing language skills. Students are proud to bring home completed work to share with their families, which reinforces learning and builds motivation.\r\n\r\nThis technology has been especially impactful for students who transfer mid-year or require additional support. Portable learning kits, printed records, and multilingual communication ensure continuity in instruction and help students transition smoothly into new classrooms. Families also benefit from receiving printed letters, newsletters, and resource guides in their home language, strengthening home–school connections. Overall, the printer has become an essential tool in promoting equity, consistency, and student success in our migrant program.","fullyFundedDate":1765570812063,"projectUrl":"project/printing-pathways-to-success/9589770/","projectTitle":"Printing Pathways to Success","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Soto","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-9_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/8984916"},{"teacherId":2434268,"projectId":9755904,"letterContent":"Kindergarten is where the foundation for a lifelong love of learning is built—block by block, concept by concept—and these Math Stackers have had a powerful impact on our classroom. By making math hands-on and interactive, they have transformed abstract concepts into meaningful, concrete experiences for my students.\r\n\r\nWith the Math Stackers, students eagerly explored counting, number recognition, comparing quantities, addition, subtraction, and patterning through kinesthetic learning. These colorful manipulatives encouraged active participation, problem-solving, and collaboration, helping students build confidence as they practiced new skills.\r\n\r\nMy students thrived with the opportunity to learn through purposeful play and exploration. The Math Stackers allowed each child to work at their own pace, supporting diverse learning needs while keeping math engaging and developmentally appropriate. As a result, students showed increased enthusiasm for math, deeper understanding of concepts, and greater confidence in sharing their thinking.\r\n\r\nThank you for your generosity and support of our classroom.

During vocabulary building and sentence construction activities, students now collaborate directly on the table surface—jotting down words, drawing quick visuals, and mapping out ideas together. One recent highlight was during a storytelling activity: groups of students co-wrote and illustrated short stories directly on the tables before presenting them to the class. The ability to erase and revise ideas easily has helped build their confidence in using English and encouraged more risk-taking in their language development.\r\n\r\nThanks to your generosity, our classroom now feels more interactive, collaborative, and inclusive.
