The children absolutely love the Dry Erase Center and use it every day. \r\nYour donation made learning more fun for my second grade class. \r\nWhen the children opened the boxes of donation, their faces lit up. They were so excited. They asked to set up the center with me. How could I say no. \r\nSet up was easy and quick. They use the center mainly for phonics work and math. \r\nThe students said the feel like teachers when they get to write in the whiteboard. \r\nI can't express enough how grateful we are. Thank you again from the bottom of our hearts.","fullyFundedDate":1778274887759,"projectUrl":"project/dry-erase-center/10017329/","projectTitle":"Dry Erase Center","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. McEvoy","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp6642333_orig.jpg?crop=1:1,smart&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1754340234370","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/6642333"},{"teacherId":9749191,"projectId":9990943,"letterContent":"Thank you so much for your generous donations. \r\n\r\nWe have been able to laminate activities and games for students, along with being able to laminate projects we have done, and certificates that I give out to students.

The large mouth model has become an invaluable teaching tool in my articulation instruction. Students are now able to see exactly where their tongue, lips, and teeth should be positioned for accurate sound production. I have also used the model to teach kindergarten students about dentists as (very important) community helpers. They had some laughs when I pulled out a large mouth from under my work table! \r\n\r\nThe paper trimmer has transformed how I prepare materials. What used to take me 15 minutes per batch of worksheets now takes just a few minutes. I can create clean, professional-looking activities without the ragged edges that come from hand-cutting. And the printer paper ensures I have enough supplies to print the reports, data collection sheets, and learning materials my students need without worrying about requesting more printer paper from the school or buying it with my own money. Please keep supporting educators during these challenging times. It makes our work day (and nights) much easier when we know our profession is valued.","fullyFundedDate":1768059442084,"projectUrl":"project/speak-create-paper-storage-and-visu/9769453/","projectTitle":"Speak & Create: Paper, Storage, and Visual for Articulation Success","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Sara Sowyrda","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp9892696_orig.jpg?crop=4000,4000,x1000,y0&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1755780513283","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/ms-sowyrda"},{"teacherId":1977031,"projectId":9695667,"letterContent":"Creating an environment of independence in Kindergarten sets the groundwork for years to come.
