When Slime is on the line, peer pressure comes into play to keep kids in their seats, to get their work done, and to follow the rules so they can EARN slime. Even the kids who struggle for one reason or other, like lower english levels or reading or math difficulties, can engage and enjoy this lab AND they get a fun toy out of it.

Your donation goes beyond simply providing a piece of equipment—it is giving my students daily access to the tools they need to succeed, and it allows me to better meet their needs as learners in real time. Having a classroom printer is an incredible resource that supports differentiated learning, timely interventions, and the flexibility to provide students with exactly what they need when they need it.\r\nBefore receiving this printer, preparing differentiated materials was often limited by time and accessibility. I had to rely on printing in advance, which meant I couldn't always respond to student needs in the moment. Now, I can immediately print resources to support small group instruction, individualized practice, and enrichment activities for students who are ready to extend their learning. This ensures that no student is left behind and that every learner feels included and supported in the classroom. Your generosity has made it possible for me to transform the way I respond to students and personalize their learning experiences.\r\nFor students who may be struggling with certain concepts, I can now quickly provide practice sheets, guided notes, or scaffolded versions of assignments that meet them where they are. This printer allows me to adjust lessons instantly without losing valuable instructional time. Similarly, for students who are excelling, I can print challenge problems or extension activities that keep them engaged and motivated. The ability to do this right away makes the learning experience more meaningful and responsive for every child.\r\nAnother benefit is how the printer supports interventions. When students need extra support—whether it is targeted review problems, step-by-step guides, or visual aids—I can provide those materials instantly during class. This ensures that interventions are effective because they are immediate, allowing students to practice and apply support strategies without delay. Having a printer right in the room empowers me to be proactive rather than reactive, which ultimately builds student confidence and improves their overall achievement.","fullyFundedDate":1754076615492,"projectUrl":"project/print-for-progress-supporting-every-lea/9462712/","projectTitle":"Print for Progress: Supporting Every Learner","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Jiang","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-4_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/jiangj"},{"teacherId":8257606,"projectId":9367094,"letterContent":"Thank you so much for your generous support in providing essential materials for my classroom.

I'm hoping that means we shut down traffic.\r\n\r\nThe floor trap, on the other hand, caught a mouse and has been repositioned near a (probably rat, from the size) hole they have very rudely chewed in the baseboard.
