The new color printer/copier has made my job as a classroom teacher so much easier and has increased engagement and excitement for my students during their lessons.\r\n\r\nThe copy room is a very busy place at school! Before school, at recess, during lunch, and after school, teachers can be found making their weekly copies for their lessons. Sometimes the line to make copies is so long and time is wasted waiting for your turn. With my own printer, not only can I make all of my copies from the comfort of my classroom whenever I want to make them, but with a color printer, I can make my worksheets, posters, and centers as colorful as I want! Being able to print another copy right away if a student loses a paper or makes a mistake is so incredibly helpful for me and my students as well!\r\n\r\nOnce I received my printer, I began to create new worksheets and colorful displays for our classroom. On the first day of school all of the kids and their families commented on what a bright and inviting environment the classroom was. The kids were excited to come inside to see more! Since then, I have labeled book tubs to make their favorite books easier to find, created posters to remind them of some of our writing strategies, and added UFLI resources on our walls. I am also able to create visual schedules and behavior reward systems for my students who require extra visual supports. \r\n\r\nYour generosity has made an impactful difference for our students and our classroom.

Your kindness and willingness to invest in the education of young learners has made a meaningful difference in our classroom, and we are so thankful for your support. Because of your generosity, our students now have access to the essential supplies they need to learn, create, explore, and grow each day. Simple items like pencils, crayons, markers, notebooks, folders, and other classroom materials may seem ordinary, but they are extraordinary tools in the hands of curious and eager third graders. Your gift has helped ensure that every child has what they need to fully participate in lessons and feel confident coming to school prepared to learn.\r\n\r\nHaving the right supplies available creates a classroom environment where students can focus on learning instead of worrying about whether they have the materials to complete an assignment. Your donation has allowed us to spend more time engaged in meaningful learning experiences, collaborative projects, creative writing, hands-on science activities, and colorful art projects that bring our curriculum to life. It also helps foster a sense of belonging and equity, ensuring that every student has the same opportunity to succeed regardless of their family's circumstances. Seeing the excitement on my students' faces as they opened and organized their new supplies was a wonderful reminder of how much your generosity truly matters. Your support has inspired confidence, encouraged creativity, and reminded my students that there are caring people beyond the walls of our school who believe in their potential and want them to succeed.\r\n\r\nThank you for believing in my students and in the importance of providing classrooms with the resources they need to thrive. Your generosity is more than a donation of school supplies—it is an investment in the future of every child who walks through our classroom door. The lessons my students will learn, the stories they will write, the problems they will solve, and the friendships they will build this year will all be made possible in part because of your kindness. We are honored that you chose to support our classroom, and we hope you know just how much your gift is appreciated. From the bottom of our hearts, thank you for helping create a positive, welcoming, and engaging learning environment where every student can feel successful. Your generosity has already made a lasting impact, and we are truly grateful for your compassion and commitment to education.","fullyFundedDate":1778202470561,"projectUrl":"project/we-need-a-printer/10078799/","projectTitle":"We Need a Printer!","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Carpenter","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-2_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/5148742"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_38246","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":637,"numTeachers":25,"percentFrplEligible":47,"percentAsian":5,"percentBlack":1,"percentWhite":52,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":32,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","percentHawaiianImputed":0,"percentMultiracialImputed":8,"gradesServed":"Pre-K - 8","studentTeacherRatio":"25.5:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":false,"titleOne":false,"metroType":"SUBURBAN","ncesMetroType":"SUBURB_LARGE"},"inStateSupporters":88.9,"schoolId":38246,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Carlton Hills Elementary School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Carlton Hills Elementary School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/california/santee-school-district/carlton-hills-elementary-school/38246"}
