They are exposed to so many games and activities that they should be able to know so much more than their peers as they grow up. This is thanks to your generosity!\r\n\r\nWe are very blessed that you have chosen us and cannot wait to share all that we receive with our students.

We use the math stackers almost every day in and the concepts are starting to come in for my students. I love the sight word cards that have mnemonic memory devices built in to help the students remember what the sight word is. They have been able to memorize many more words with these flashcards.

While you cannot see their faces they were smiling when playing. For some middle schoolers that takes a bit to do, but having new things always makes them feel special. \r\n\r\nIt also warms my heart to know that my students do get that new item that they don't see a lot of.

The color copier has been helpful beyond words. My students have significant needs and I work with the teachers here to provide different activities related to their curriculum. Some are task bins and file folders. We often work on cutting, gluing, and using other school items. My students need colored work. Why? For many, it is difficult for them to see subtle differences in shades of grey, which is usually what our copiers print here. They need the color to discern differences and help make things resemble the \"real world\". We see color all day every day. I have a lot of resources I have collected over the years, and while many of them are printed in color, I do not have access to them on a computer. They are hard copies only (I am THAT old!). Copying them and often laminating them for practice using dry-erase markers is so helpful when working on tasks like mazes, drawing letters, etc. I use the color printer daily and am so grateful that it's ink and not cartridges which run out quickly. Thank you again for the printer and for helping me to improve the types and quality of the work I do with my students and teachers.","fullyFundedDate":1730321522418,"projectUrl":"project/not-too-taxing-task-bins-part-2/8752059/","projectTitle":"Not Too Taxing Task Bins Part 2","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Shelley","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-5_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/8662708"},{"teacherId":3090190,"projectId":8707592,"letterContent":"I wanted to take a moment to express my heartfelt thanks for your generous contribution to my DonorsChoose project.
