While this may seem like a simple tool, it has quickly become one of the most transformative additions to our classroom and I am eager to share with you how meaningful your gift has been. Not only is it beneficial for students, the students also love using it and get so excited when I bring it out to print!\r\nFrom the moment we unboxed the printer, all of the students were immediately intrigued and over the moon. They asked questions, offered ideas, and imagined all of the different ways we could use it together. The printer has become a daily part of our routine by supporting interactive notebooks, making reference charts, and becoming creative in ways to reinforce understanding.\r\n\tInteractive notebooks are an essential in my classroom to organize and internalize information. It's also a great resource for them to go back to when they're struggling. With the stickers, they are now able to add clear and visually appealing labels, diagrams, charts, vocabulary lists, and step by step processes. In the past, these resources required a lot of time-consuming copying or printing and cutting multiple sheets. Students would take a long time to cut and glue the papers, cutting into lesson instruction time. Now, we can create high quality stickers that are durable, quick, and easy for students to reference. This change has brought organization, student confidence, independence, and pride. \r\n\tReference charts have been equally transformed with this donation. Students can utilize mini charts for math, reading thinking steps, grammar, and more. They can quickly contribute to the design and we can print what works best for them. This system has definitely become more manageable and engaging. It also allows students to be able to be more organized and more likely to revisit their material during class. Many students who previously struggled to keep track of handouts now have a system that feels manageable and engaging. Students have even used highlighters and color code their tools, which is a strategy we have worked on together and they have adopted independently. \r\n\tThe impact has extended beyond academics as well. Students begin to feel an ownership of their own learning and the opportunity to contribute to design stickers encourages creativity, collaboration, and problem solving. Students who are normally hesitant to participate are stepping up to help their classmates or contribute to chart layouts. They are definitely more invested in their learning.\r\n\tYour generosity has given my students something invaluable: a tool that makes learning more accessible, more engaging, and more meaningful. They could not have been more excited and it is all thanks to you. When I told them we needed to write thank you notes, they were so excited to be able to show their appreciation. Thank you for your support and for believing in them. We are able to create a classroom where students feel comfortable, supported, and excited to learn. Every day your gift is helping them build skills, stay organized and see themselves as capable learners.","fullyFundedDate":1758291934360,"projectUrl":"project/making-learning-stick-one-label-at-a-t/9594201/","projectTitle":"Making Learning Stick – One Label at a Time","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Fallone","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp9562757_orig.jpg?crop=2223,2223,x0,y37&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1717519110906","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9562757"},{"teacherId":9511296,"projectId":8312609,"letterContent":"This project allowed my third-grade students to create a special binder filled with meaningful pieces of work from throughout the school year. These memory binders were shared with families during our annual Author's Tea, giving students the opportunity to celebrate their accomplishments, reflect on their growth, and showcase the skills they developed as readers, writers, thinkers, and learners.\r\n\r\nThe materials provided allowed me to preserve and organize student work in a meaningful way that would not have otherwise been possible. Instead of sending projects home individually throughout the year, students curated a collection of their best work, reflected on their learning, and created a keepsake that families will treasure for years to come. The binders also supported important organizational and self-reflection skills as students selected pieces that demonstrated their growth and achievements.","fullyFundedDate":1713550499112,"projectUrl":"project/third-grade-memories/8312609/","projectTitle":"Third Grade Memories","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. McCann","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp9511296_orig.jpg?crop=1975,1975,x201,y1008&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1713567162794","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9511296"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_81513","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":537,"numTeachers":40,"percentFrplEligible":35,"percentAsian":38,"percentBlack":11,"percentWhite":18,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":25,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","percentHawaiianImputed":0,"percentMultiracialImputed":4,"gradesServed":"K - 5","studentTeacherRatio":"13.4:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":false,"titleOne":false,"metroType":"SUBURBAN","ncesMetroType":"SUBURB_LARGE"},"inStateSupporters":90.6,"schoolId":81513,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about James Monroe Elementary School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"James Monroe Elementary School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/new-jersey/edison-township-public-school-district/james-monroe-elementary-school/81513"}
