Technology plays a huge role in helping me create those supports — and your gift of toner refills made it possible to print in full color again. While it might seem simple, having the ability to produce bright, engaging visuals has transformed the way my students interact with learning materials.\r\n\r\nColor makes our lessons come alive! Our new visual schedules, task cards, and learning games are now clear, colorful, and exciting to use. Students eagerly point to their picture cues, match colorful shapes, and follow visual directions with more confidence. One of my students, who usually struggles to stay focused, now lights up when he sees his bright red and blue sorting cards — he immediately knows it's time to \"match and learn.\"\r\n\r\nThe most exciting part for my students is that they can now see themselves reflected in their routines — each color-coded chart and personalized picture board helps them understand what comes next and builds their sense of independence.\r\n\r\nThank you for helping me use technology in a way that truly supports accessibility, communication, and joy in learning. Your kindness has brought color not only to our materials but also to our students' daily experiences.\r\n\r\nWith gratitude,\r\nMs. Said & the 1st Grade AIMS Explorers","fullyFundedDate":1760747766156,"projectUrl":"project/coloring-our-lessons-bright-toner-refil/9790703/","projectTitle":"Coloring Our Lessons Bright: Toner Refill Project","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Said","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp10216260_orig.jpg?crop=3840,3840,x0,y448&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1756630644100","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/10216260"},{"teacherId":2212826,"projectId":8996349,"letterContent":"Thank you for supporting our classroom project on financial literacy.
