With the printer, students can have rich, visible resources at their fingertips and throughout the classroom. \r\n\r\nMore recently, my class began working on money, specifically recognizing coins and their values. A previous sheet I used had outdated coin images. Using the color printer, I provided students with a new coin identification sheet to use while working with coins. I was also able to print coin cards for a math center activity/game.\r\n\r\nMy class is drawn to the color images around the room, and is taking the time to look more closely at the wall posters. One that has been of great hygienic benefit is a handwashing poster. Students are spending an adequate time washing their hands while reading the chart posted above the sink. This allows time for proper washing to rid germs. \r\n\r\nThe color printer has dramatically helped provide additional resources to aid learning. Thank you for your support of our classroom project!","fullyFundedDate":1764709165718,"projectUrl":"project/creating-a-room-full-of-color/9934305/","projectTitle":"Creating a Room Full of Color","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Cintas","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp160086_orig.png?crop=274,274,x177,y0&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1767221912263","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/160086"},{"teacherId":5036260,"projectId":9934859,"letterContent":"The Kindergarten class of Hubbard Elementary were very happy to receive your donations. At times it was hard to have them work from home, but with the extra materials it made a difference. Students who did not have crayons or papers could complete assignments or projects at home. The last project was decorating a paper bag for Valentine's Day. \r\n We did receive paper that allowed the class to print designs for their bags.\r\nThe children were able to take the bags home to complete with the help of their parents. The parents were happy that the materials were given by the class, and no extra funding was needed. The children were very proud of the work they had done.\r\n Another project was building a tree with leaves. The glue and pencils helped with this project. You can see the projects completed in the pictures we sent. Our next project will be a self portrait of the students. I want to thank you so much for your help. Without you, some of these projects cannot be completed. The Hubbard Kinders wish you the best. I as the teacher wish you the best as well.","fullyFundedDate":1767138027402,"projectUrl":"project/me-and-my-family/9934859/","projectTitle":"Me and My Family","teacherDisplayName":"Mr. Aispuro","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-1_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/5036260"},{"teacherId":160086,"projectId":9976365,"letterContent":"Thank you for your generous donations to my classroom project, Essential Classroom Supplies Needed to Start the New Year!
