This computer has quite literally changed my life. Before receiving it, I was working with a barely functioning computer, and something as simple as planning a lesson could take me hours. The frustration and extra time were exhausting, and I often found myself spending more energy fighting with technology than focusing on my students.\r\nNow, I can create and adapt meaningful lessons in a fraction of the time, make real-time modifications based on my students' needs, track their progress, and print supplemental materials right from my classroom. Most importantly, this gift has given me back time, energy, and peace of mind. I feel more prepared, more effective, and genuinely happier in my classroom. Your generosity has made a difference not only in how I teach, but in how I experience teaching every day. I am so deeply grateful. Thank you for investing in me and, ultimately, in my students.","fullyFundedDate":1781038500552,"projectUrl":"project/apple-posts-for-teacher/10266763/","projectTitle":"Apple Posts for Teacher","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Diaz","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp277518_orig.jpg?crop=2844,2844,x400,y0&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1627577882625","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/277518"},{"teacherId":9774,"projectId":6496400,"letterContent":"Thank You!\r\nAlthough this thank-you is long overdue, my gratitude is still very strong. I am so sorry that I never came back to this page to properly thank everyone who supported this project.\r\nFour years ago, you believed in my students and helped us create a space where they could learn, connect, study, laugh, and feel a sense of belonging. The support we received through DonorsChoose made a real difference in our Council for Unity community and gave my students a space that felt like it belonged to them.\r\nOur students used this space not only for schoolwork, but also for planning community service projects, organizing fundraisers, participating in restorative circles, supporting one another, and simply having a safe and welcoming place to be.\r\nThank you for seeing the potential in my students and for investing in them. Your generosity helped create something that went far beyond the materials on a wish list. You helped create a space where students could feel valued, supported, and part of a community.\r\nFour years later, I am finally saying what I should have said then:\r\nThank you for believing in my students.

The new materials you provided will come a long way in helping our students understand science a bit more. The popsicle stick, pipettes, etc are incredibly essential in science lab activities.\r\n\r\nOur students learn best by hands-on, engaging activities and labs rather than just copying notes or reading textbook.

My students are excited to create their custom designs on the shirts and then wear their designs and show them off to everyone! In this exciting hands-on project, students will transform plain polyester shirts into personalized wearable art by creating custom heat transfer designs. Students will begin by brainstorming and sketching their unique designs, then use design software or hand-drawn templates to create their artwork on special heat transfer paper. Once their designs are printed or prepared, they'll carefully position the transfer paper onto their polyester shirts and use a heat press or iron to apply controlled heat and pressure, which activates the transfer adhesive and permanently bonds the design to the fabric.

In an art classroom, visual references are essential, and being able to print high-quality, full-color images allows my students to study artwork, color, texture, composition, and details in a much more hands-on way. Instead of relying on a projector or sharing a limited number of black-and-white references, students can now have their own printed images right in front of them while they work.\r\n\r\nMy students have especially loved being able to print references that connect directly to their individual projects and interests. Whether they are studying an artist, creating a painting, drawing from a reference photo, or planning a ceramic piece, having access to color references helps them make more informed artistic decisions and better understand what they are seeing. The printer has also allowed me to provide students with handouts, examples, and visual resources that make lessons more accessible and engaging. It may seem like a simple piece of technology, but having a color printer in our classroom has given my students more independence, more creative resources, and more opportunities to learn through art.","fullyFundedDate":1776785853696,"projectUrl":"project/art-without-screens-color-printing-for/10206270/","projectTitle":"Art Without Screens!

By delivering the right spectrum and duration of light, the light house ensured that seeds received optimal growing conditions regardless of natural sunlight availability through classroom windows. Students were able to observe firsthand how seeds germinated and developed into healthy seedlings, learning about photosynthesis and plant growth cycles in a tangible, hands-on way. The light house also allowed the class to conduct seed-growing experiments on their own schedule, enabling multiple plantings throughout the year and giving every student the opportunity to nurture life from seed to sprout. Beyond the scientific learning, tending to their seedlings under the light house fostered responsibility, patience, and a deeper appreciation for how plants grow—making abstract botanical concepts come alive in a way that traditional textbook learning simply cannot replicate.","fullyFundedDate":1777752859909,"projectUrl":"project/plants-light-house/10215697/","projectTitle":"Plants Light House","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Pelletier","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp6232253_orig.jpg?crop=640,640,x0,y57&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1714747504353","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/ms-feinstein"},{"teacherId":6232253,"projectId":10172573,"letterContent":"I extend my heartfelt gratitude for your generous donation to the Clarity Matters project.
