My students were immediately drawn to the new pillows. During our first read aloud with the new setting, students gathered in the reading area, settled into the new seating, and became completely cozy and engaged as I introduced our new topic for the week. \r\n\r\nWe are now using the new seating regularly during read alouds, independent reading, and small group instruction. The comfortable options have helped students feel calm, focused, and more willing to participate.\r\n\r\nBy contributing to this project, you made an impact in a classroom filled with hardworking students who benefit from supportive learning environments. Our next steps include building reading stamina and comprehension as we continue exploring new topics through shared and independent reading. Your generosity helped create a space where students feel safe, comfortable, and excited to learn.

While many people use printers at home, having access to a color printer at school makes a huge difference in how students learn and engage with their work. This technology allows students to see their academic efforts transformed into high quality projects, which builds pride, motivation, and confidence in their learning. \r\nFor our very first project, students designed their own Martin Luther King Jr. posters. They researched important facts, quotes, and symbols connected to his life and message. They then created thoughtful designs to represent what they learned. When their posters were printed in color, students were genuinely excited to see their ideas come to life. The bright colors helped highlight important details and made their work feel meaningful and worth celebrating. \r\nSeveral of my students struggle with writing or traditional assignments, but seeing their posters printed in color gave them a sense of accomplishment and ownership. Those who are usually hesitant to share their work were eager to display their posters and excited for parents to come see the display during parent conference week. This printer helped make learning more inclusive by giving every student a chance to shine. \r\nYour generosity has had an immediate and lasting impact on our classroom. Thank you for helping our students feel proud of their learning and for supporting meaningful educational experiences.","fullyFundedDate":1766433289198,"projectUrl":"project/give-a-new-resource-room-color/9963021/","projectTitle":"Give a New Resource Room Color!","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Lunsford","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp10386572_orig.jpg?crop=1:1,smart&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1766111906776","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/lunsford"},{"teacherId":130973,"projectId":9900286,"letterContent":"I am writing to express my deepest gratitude for your incredibly generous donation of books to my third-grade classroom.\r\n\r\nOur classroom library is the heart of our learning space, and your donation has brought immense joy and excitement to my students.
