A colorful poster on the wall, a personalized worksheet in hand, or immediate feedback on their work—it all adds up to more confident, creative learners.\r\nLessons flow smoother, too—no running back and forth to shared printers or scrambling when the school one goes down. And best of all, the printed pages bring our room to life in ways I couldn't before.\r\nThank you for providing more than a tool—you've given space for ideas to breathe and learning to thrive.","fullyFundedDate":1755734238224,"projectUrl":"project/mustangs-in-ink-printing-pathways-to-su/9517348/","projectTitle":"Mustangs in Ink: Printing Pathways to Success","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. James","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp8647788_orig.jpg?crop=1:1,smart&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1720643533128","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/8647788"},{"teacherId":9843872,"projectId":8956329,"letterContent":"The students you supported are in a Family and Consumer Sciences class.

They first learned the parts of the sewing machine and how each part works. Secondly, they practiced stitching in straight and curved lines on paper and scraps of fabric. Lastly, they stitched the letters onto the bandanas and the sides of the bandana.\r\n\r\nThe students were so proud of their accomplishments. I believe this project motivated them to believe that when they put their mind to something they can do it. I had many students who were afraid to sew and became excited when they could see the finished product.
