Before receiving this incredible gift, we did not have a printer, and its impact on my students' learning has been remarkable. With the ability to print visual aids and projects in color, students can now engage with materials in a more interactive way. This technology has enhanced their learning experience by allowing me to integrate visual elements into their notebooks and assignments, making concepts more accessible and engaging. This gift is invaluable, especially for my students with Individualized Education Plans (IEPs), who greatly benefit from visual learning aids.\r\n\r\n The classroom has been buzzing with excitement ever since the printer showed up. Students who previously had to handwrite or draw graphic organizers now have ready-to-go printed materials at their fingertips. They are thrilled to print their own projects using the classroom computer, and the color-coded worksheets and activities have brought a new level of enthusiasm to their learning. The ability to see their work come to life in vibrant color has made a significant difference in their motivation.\r\n\r\n One particularly inspiring example is my students' reaction to our neighborhood travel-writing project. When they saw the colorful template, they were eager to fill in the information and took great pride in their work. The printer has not only facilitated their creativity but has also boosted their confidence and sense of accomplishment. Seeing their excitement and pride in finished projects is truly heartwarming, and it would not have been possible without your support.\r\n\r\n Thank you once again for your generosity and for making such a positive impact on our classroom!","fullyFundedDate":1758898944034,"projectUrl":"project/colorful-creations-await/9752173/","projectTitle":"Colorful Creations Await!","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Markov","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/272x272/tp1405353_272x272.jpg?width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1530188990874","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/ms-zoll"},{"teacherId":624364,"projectId":9750543,"letterContent":"I wanted to take a moment to express my deepest gratitude for your generous support of my project to bring graphic novels, including Dog Man, to our middle school classroom.

With characters like Dog Man and exciting plots, these books are an excellent bridge to deeper reading skills. My students are already excited and eager to dive into the stories, and it has been incredible to watch them become so engaged with the material.\r\n\r\nYour support is making a real difference in the classroom. It's not just about the books; it's about opening doors to new worlds, new ideas, and new possibilities for my students.

Through Donors Choose, you contributed to purchasing ink for the laser printer in my classroom. Your generosity helps me to support my students' learning in many ways.\r\nHaving access to supplies for my printer gives me the opportunity to create learning materials to differentiate instruction for my learners with special needs. I typically do this during lesson planning, for instance creating organizers, checklists, or notes pages for my students. Other times, I notice a student needs an additional support as I'm delivering small group instruction, and can print a modification as needed right then and there. This is immensely helpful to me in meeting the needs of my diverse learners. Additionally, I use colored paper to create games, learning stations, bookmarks, and signage for the classroom that supports learning.

Now, my students are able to access the resources (scaffolds, graphic organizers, cloze notes/sentences, and differentiated texts) at the click of a button! This is crucial for my students because now their learning styles are now able to be met, which means they can be successful and better equipped to go to high school. For example, today, some of my students asked if we could photocopy a couple of pages from the book so they could annotate the text to better understand it; since they can't write in their novels, I was able to photocopy these pages immediately, and thus they had a successful day in ELA! \r\n\r\nAdditionally, my students benefit from having color-coded notes, especially for vocabulary. Since we are reading a higher-level text, we spend a lot of time breaking down vocabulary words for our students, so being able to color-code the words by parts of speech helps the students remember the words more easily. The printer makes this possible for them!\r\n\r\nEssentially, you have made my students' lives easier and given them a way to access the curriculum in a way that best suits them; we can never fully express how grateful we are!","fullyFundedDate":1738781982226,"projectUrl":"project/a-blueprint-for-education/9095849/","projectTitle":"A bluePRINT for Education","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Pollak","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/272x272/tp679440_272x272.jpg?width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1539392523125","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/alisonpollak"},{"teacherId":8491409,"projectId":8869141,"letterContent":"Thank you so much for helping to costume my students for their performance.
