While printing may feel simple at home, in our classroom it makes an enormous difference in how my students learn. With reliable access to printing, they can see their work come to life, whether it's a photo layout for the yearbook, a website design draft, or a digital project turned into something they can hold in their hands. Having a working printer allows students to bridge the gap between their screens and the real world, helping them edit more carefully, collaborate more effectively, and take pride in their finished work.\r\n\r\nWhat excites my students most is being able to hold their creations. Many of them light up when they see their photos printed in high quality or when they can mark up drafts on paper as part of the editing process. One student in particular, who had struggled with confidence in her design work, proudly shared her printed layout with classmates and immediately began making improvements based on their feedback. Thanks to your generosity, our classroom printer is no longer a limitation but a tool for creativity, growth, and pride.","fullyFundedDate":1741276370365,"projectUrl":"project/inkredible-generals-2025/9113214/","projectTitle":"INKredible Generals 2025","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Sitterson","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp5750392_orig.jpg?crop=800,800,x0,y61&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1739216201470","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/ms-sitterson"},{"teacherId":5750392,"projectId":7902311,"letterContent":"Thank you so much for helping us bring a wide-angle lens into our classroom. While many people use technology at home, in our yearbook and journalism program this lens has become a game-changer—it allows students to capture full group shots, dynamic events, and wide perspectives that tell a more complete story of our school. The students are especially excited to see how much more they can fit into a single frame, whether it's a pep rally, a team huddle, or the busy energy of a classroom project.\r\n\r\nOne student who had been hesitant about photography has especially warmed to this new tool. She loves being able to capture everyone in a shot without needing to step far back, and her confidence behind the camera has grown tremendously.

It has opened the door for deeper engagement and allowed me to create more dynamic, tech-integrated lessons that meet students where they are.\r\n\r\nOne of the most exciting additions to our curriculum has been a new activity called \"Are You Scientifically Correct?\", where students explore common science myths and test their accuracy through research and experimentation. With the MacBook Air, they're able to investigate topics using credible sources, present their findings using multimedia tools, and even create short videos or presentations to share their results with the class.

Students have been learning how to operate the machine safely, follow patterns, and experiment with embroidery to personalize their projects. Whether it's stitching their initials, designing classroom décor, or creating small accessories, they are fully engaged and excited about learning a new, real-world skill.\r\n\r\nEven more exciting is how this project has allowed students to start customizing their own items—something they take great pride in. They've begun making personalized patches, monogrammed bags, and embroidered artwork that reflects their personalities and school spirit. Many students who had never touched a sewing machine before now feel confident and capable.
