Your generosity has positively impacted our learners, allowing us to create a better learning environment for our students. The materials have been useful in assisting students with their learning, particularly during tests and class assignments.\r\n\r\nThe color printer has allowed us to provide printed materials in color for our visual learners. It has proven to be a valuable tool for adapting lessons to suit different learning styles. With the printer, we can create colorful classroom resources, such as vibrant periodic tables and step-by-step examples to illustrate integers. The posters have brought vibrancy and energy to our learning center, creating an ideal space for education and providing support for our learners.\r\n\r\nOnce again, thank you for helping us support our students in their learning.","fullyFundedDate":1755207327752,"projectUrl":"project/learning-without-limits/9563355/","projectTitle":"Learning Without Limits","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Giselle","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-5_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/10163848"},{"teacherId":2249779,"projectId":8643526,"letterContent":"The \"Outdoor Classroom\" experiment you helped fund for my 9th/10th grade science classroom was a tremendous success!

And since they all fold up, they take up minimal space inside of my classroom. \r\n\r\nIn fact, they were so greatly appreciateed, that one of the biggest challenges I faced with them this past year, was limiting what other purposes students could borrow them for, and making sure they were all returned in good, clean, working order.\r\n\r\nThank you once again for your support last year, and if you see my request again this year, it's with tremendous humility and zero pressure.","fullyFundedDate":1723689890841,"projectUrl":"project/outdoor-classroom-to-help-students-focus/8643526/","projectTitle":"Outdoor Classroom to Help Students Focus Beyond the School Walls","teacherDisplayName":"Mr. Werner","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp2249779_orig.jpg?crop=4000,4000,x0,y0&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1689183254878","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/2249779"},{"teacherId":5806333,"projectId":8427995,"letterContent":"I wanted to extend our deepest thanks for providing our school with a heat press machine.
