Having copy paper makes my classroom run smoothly. I am able to provide my students with materials to support their learning. In reading, we are learning about the poet William Carlos Williams. My students immediately used the copy paper to illustrate a poem of William Carlos Williams that they will present to the class with their group! They also used the paper for our science investigation sheets for fossils and for their research project planner. Your support has made it possible for me to print materials that help my third grade students succeed in their learning.","fullyFundedDate":1778440685684,"projectUrl":"project/copy-paper-to-learn/10131854/","projectTitle":"Copy Paper to Learn!","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Barnicle","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp7944114_orig.jpg?crop=1:1,smart&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1749318842481","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/7944114"},{"teacherId":2012091,"projectId":10163210,"letterContent":"The 4th grade team truly appreciates the 3 cases of paper that you donated to us. We share our resources and had run out of paper at the time of the project being published. We certainly have enough to get us through the year, which ends on June 24th. As you can imagine, we need paper for so many things for learning. Each teacher is given 1 case of paper for the entire year, which doesn't last more than 1/2 to 2/3 of the year. For this, we are appreciative.\r\n\r\nA neighbor donated the printer to my classroom and the ink that was purchased made it possible for me to print pages that student's may have lost. I've also been able to save time by printing missing work reports for students. My printer also works as a copier but trust me, I've learned to be frugal with printing or copying items from my classroom.\r\n\r\nAs always, I am grateful for people like you, who value education, and recognize the shortfalls in our education system.","fullyFundedDate":1775241610635,"projectUrl":"project/paper-and-ink/10163210/","projectTitle":"Paper and Ink","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Maselli","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/272x272/tp2012091_272x272.jpg?width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1503115806803","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/m-maselli"},{"teacherId":2012091,"projectId":9448207,"letterContent":"Thank you for making the start of the 2025-26 school year fabulous! The 2 storage carts have created much-needed storage space in my classroom and keeps things in an organized space. The pencils have lasted all year, so far, and I still have a few packs left to get through to the end. I have used up almost all of the laminating sheets because I laminate any paper teaching tools that are essential for students to keep in their folders.
