My coteacher and I are always trying to find creative ways to help our students with executive functioning skills, memory and social skills. What you did was not just supply us with ink or a phone printer. You supplied our students with access to tools they need daily. \r\n\r\nSome of our students struggle with emotional regulation. With your donation of printer ink, we can print our zones of regulation charts in color for our students. We were also able to print many games that target executive functioning skills that encourage students to use both sides of their brains at one time.\r\n\r\nThe photo printer is helping in ways we didn't even think about when we wrote the proposal. Not only are we helping our students capture their memories, we are able to quickly print resources from our phones that students can refer back to as needed. These include photos of desk organization, weekly calendars, and and personal support services schedules. From the bottom of our hearts, thank you for helping us support our students!","fullyFundedDate":1789080648108,"projectUrl":"project/making-memories-last/10505366/","projectTitle":"Making Memories Last","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Jones","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-8_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/ms-fagust"},{"teacherId":1200689,"projectId":9286039,"letterContent":"We are incredibly grateful for the new headphones and fun writing tools!
