This technology has transformed the way my second graders see their own learning. While many people use printers at home, having one available in the classroom allows students to instantly turn their digital creations, research projects, and writing pieces into vibrant, tangible work they can hold, share, and proudly display.\r\n\r\nThe color printer has made our lessons more interactive and meaningful. Students can now print out their digital math models, science diagrams, and published writing with clear, bright visuals that help them better understand concepts. They are especially excited to see their Google Slides presentations, reading responses, and artwork printed in full color — it makes their work feel \"real\" and helps them take ownership of their learning.\r\n\r\nOne of the most exciting parts for students has been creating color-coded graphic organizers and visual aids that support their reading comprehension and problem-solving. Several of my reluctant writers have become more motivated because they love seeing their published pieces printed beautifully. A few students who usually shy away from sharing their work now proudly bring their printed pages to peers and adults, smiling from ear to ear.\r\n\r\nThis printer has also supported students with different learning needs. One of my visual learners lights up every time she prints a diagram or anchor chart in color because it helps her better process information. Another student who receives small-group support has been using the printer to create step-by-step checklists with pictures, which helps him stay organized and independent.\r\n\r\nYour donation did more than give us a tool — it boosted confidence, creativity, and pride in learning. My students are producing higher-quality work and are more engaged because they see their ideas come alive in front of them. Thank you for investing in our classroom and making such a meaningful difference for every student who walks through our door.","fullyFundedDate":1760708455147,"projectUrl":"project/bringing-student-work-to-life/9778665/","projectTitle":"Bringing Student Work to Life","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Heidhues","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-9_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9575037"},{"teacherId":9967034,"projectId":9535005,"letterContent":"When the new pencil sharpeners arrived, my students couldn't wait to try them—there was actually a line to sharpen pencils! The excitement was real, and now they can finally start projects without frustration over broken tips.\r\nThe heavy-duty paper cutter has been a huge help for me in prepping clean, precise paper for lessons. It saves so much time and ensures my students always have the right materials ready to go.\r\nRight now, we're working on mixed-media collages inspired by Latin American artists. With sharp pencils for sketching and neatly cut paper to build their designs, my students are ready to take their projects to the next level.\r\nThank you for giving us the tools to make creativity smoother and stress-free!","fullyFundedDate":1754485588418,"projectUrl":"project/cutting-edge-art-room/9535005/","projectTitle":"Cutting-Edge Art Room","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Murphy","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp9967034_orig.jpg?crop=768,768,x0,y48&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1741741563103","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9967034"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_56228","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":563,"numTeachers":35,"percentFrplEligible":95,"percentAsian":7,"percentBlack":39,"percentWhite":9,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":34,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"Pre-K - 5","studentTeacherRatio":"16.1:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"SUBURBAN","ncesMetroType":"SUBURB_LARGE"},"inStateSupporters":56.5,"schoolId":56228,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Helen Jydstrup Elementary School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Helen Jydstrup Elementary School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/nevada/clark-county-school-district/helen-jydstrup-elementary-school/56228"}
