Thank you for making it possible for us to have access to a color printer. This resource has greatly enhanced learning in our reading lab by allowing me to print high-quality instructional materials that truly engage students.\r\n\r\nBecause of your support, I was able to create hands-on literacy activities that help develop essential reading skills. For example, distinguishing between vowels and consonants is a foundational skill needed for reading, yet many students struggle to remember the difference. I was able to design a hands-on sorting activity that motivated students and significantly improved their understanding of this skill.\r\n\r\nAdditionally, the ink made it possible to print colorful decorations that helped create a print-rich, vibrant classroom environment. This has had a positive impact on student motivation and learning.

Having everything organized in one place not only streamlines our response but also allows us to maintain a sense of normalcy and engagement during these important drills.\r\nThe excitement and gratitude my students expressed upon receiving these new materials were truly heartwarming. They dove into using them immediately, sparking creativity and collaboration in our classroom. These supplies have set a positive environment for the start of the school year, significantly enhancing their learning experiences. \r\nI genuinely appreciate your support for this inclusive classroom, where every student has the opportunity to learn from one another.

With so many visual learners, color made a tremendous difference in how well students understood new concepts, followed directions, and retained information. The printer allowed me to create vivid anchor charts, differentiated worksheets, hands-on learning centers, and clear visual supports for students who needed extra scaffolding. Instead of relying on black-and-white materials that often made diagrams and instructions harder to understand, my students learned with resources that were vibrant, engaging, and easier to navigate.\r\n\r\nYour support allowed me to bring learning to life and create a more inclusive environment where every student could thrive. Having the ability to print personalized materials in color helped English language learners, students with IEPs, and those who benefited from color-coded organization. It also meant that students could produce polished final drafts, creative projects, and portfolios that highlighted their hard work and celebrated their growth. Thank you for giving my students tools that made learning more accessible, more creative, and more joyful—your generosity was felt in our classroom every single day.","fullyFundedDate":1757558549685,"projectUrl":"project/code-it-print-it-share-it/9646882/","projectTitle":"Code It, Print It, Share It","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Moon","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp6232186_orig.png?crop=451,451,x65,y0&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1633188027740","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/6232186"},{"teacherId":1210380,"projectId":9258845,"letterContent":"Thank you so much for your generous donations.

The best way for them to learn is through play, they can't get enough of the games and love playing them repeatedly. It provides them a fun way to practice consistently.\r\n\r\nSince my students are learning to read, build, and write words using syllables in Spanish I printed the syllables and organized them in the coin envelopes. This way each pair of students can use them without confusing each other's sets. They can use them and when the activity is done they can put them away without confusion.

The new mice help them with the small details, and using the right-click makes the whole process easier and more efficient.

They chose to organize by language, subject, or type of material.\r\n\r\nDue to the new organization system students are able to find their materials faster and are able to access them at all times. We are able to transition to different groups with ease as they just have to take their bins wherever they need to. Students are able to chose to work wherever they want throughout the day and take their bins with them. Since all of their materials are kept in their bins they have more space when working with hands on materials like in math. \r\n\r\nThe shelves have allowed students to have their own permanent/safe spot to put their bins into on a daily basis. Sometimes students prefer to leave their bins in the shelf and refer to it as needed.
