Having access to a printer has made such a difference in our daily learning. I am now able to create colorful and engaging materials, center activities, and visuals that help my students better understand new concepts. This has been especially helpful for my young learners, who thrive with hands-on practice and visual supports.\r\n\r\nThe students get so excited when they see new printed games, anchor charts, and activities made just for them. They love being able to use fresh, printed materials that are clear, bright, and easy to read. One student even said, \"Wow, this looks just like the books in the library!\" which shows how meaningful it is for them to have professional-looking resources in the classroom.\r\n\r\nYour generosity has allowed me to meet my students' needs more effectively and make learning more interactive and fun. We are so grateful for your kindness and support—you have truly made a difference in their school experience.\r\n\r\nWith gratitude,\r\nMs. Gjurinovic","fullyFundedDate":1724604064579,"projectUrl":"project/print-learn-bright-beginnings-for-lit/8671224/","projectTitle":"Print & Learn: Bright Beginnings for Little Learners","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Gjurinovic","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp9566641_orig.jpg?crop=1:1,smart&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1718068328880","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9566641"},{"teacherId":9561888,"projectId":8493871,"letterContent":"Thank you so much for your generous donation to our \"LEGO Art Quest: Bridging Creativity and STEM Innovation\" project! Your support has opened up amazing new opportunities for our students to explore art in fun and exciting ways. In our art class, we've been using the LEGO sets to create sculptures, designs, and scenes that combine imagination with artistic skills. One of the projects that the kids loved was designing colorful mosaics with the LEGO bricks. They learned about patterns, color theory, and symmetry while building their own unique designs, and it was wonderful to see how they each brought their creativity to life in their own way.\r\n\r\nWhen the students first saw the LEGO kits, they were absolutely thrilled! They couldn't wait to start building, and it sparked so much excitement in the classroom. It was amazing to see them work together, helping each other with ideas and experimenting with the pieces. For some students who might usually shy away from traditional art materials, the LEGO bricks gave them the confidence to jump in and create something new. It's been a joy to watch them grow as artists and see how the LEGO sets have made learning art even more fun and interactive.\r\n\r\nIn the coming weeks, we'll be using the LEGO pieces to create 3D art sculptures inspired by famous artists. The students will use the bricks to replicate famous works of art or create their own sculptures that reflect their personal style. Thanks to your support, these young artists are not only learning about art techniques, but also developing their problem-solving and teamwork skills as they build together.","fullyFundedDate":1730918107887,"projectUrl":"project/lego-art-quest-bridging-creativity-and/8493871/","projectTitle":"LEGO Art Quest: Bridging Creativity and STEM Innovation","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. De La Milera","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp9561888_orig.jpg?crop=1051,1051,x14,y0&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1721143805514","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9561888"},{"teacherId":1543365,"projectId":8900778,"letterContent":"My project has a profound impact on my students' learning and development. By addressing their unique needs, I create an inclusive and supportive environment where they can thrive. For my non-verbal students and those with limited communication skills, using diverse learning modalities helps them express themselves more effectively, leading to improved social interactions and a greater sense of inclusion. Tailoring activities to meet state standards while accommodating individual learning needs ensures that each student can progress at their own pace. Wipe-and-write books are particularly beneficial as they allow for repeated practice and adjustments based on each child's level.\r\n\r\n Providing chewies helps keep students safe by minimizing the loss of materials due to mouthing behaviors, ensuring they remain engaged with the learning materials without the risk of choking or other hazards. Using green stickers for behavior charts promotes positive behavior and helps students understand the consequences of their actions, leading to better classroom management and a more harmonious learning environment. Replacing the non-functioning magnetic whiteboard with a new one ensures that I have the necessary tools to deliver effective lessons, and laminating sheets protect students' work, making it durable and allowing them to take pride in their accomplishments. Overall, my project fosters a nurturing and adaptive learning environment that caters to the diverse needs of my students, helping them achieve their full potential.","fullyFundedDate":1730397344332,"projectUrl":"project/exploring-kindergarten-with-autism/8900778/","projectTitle":"Exploring Kindergarten with Autism","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Ben-Hain","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp1543365_orig.jpg?crop=1631,1631,x204,y0&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1673226897229","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/jessicazelman"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_53321","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":410,"numTeachers":40,"percentFrplEligible":56,"percentAsian":0,"percentBlack":0,"percentWhite":1,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":96,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"Pre-K - 5","studentTeacherRatio":"10.2:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"SUBURBAN","ncesMetroType":"SUBURB_LARGE"},"inStateSupporters":77.8,"schoolId":53321,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Joe Hall Elementary School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Joe Hall Elementary School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/florida/miami-dade-county-public-schools/joe-hall-elementary-school/53321"}
