The reading pens have been a game‑changer for students who struggle with decoding. Instead of feeling stuck, they can scan a word and hear it instantly, which helps them stay confident and engaged while reading.\r\n\r\nThe 3D printer has brought a whole new kind of excitement into our room. Students love watching their ideas turn into real objects, and it's sparked so much creativity and teamwork. They crowd around the printer like it's a tiny magic show.\r\n\r\nA few students have especially blossomed. One reader who used to avoid books now reaches for a scanner pen every day and finishes stories with pride. Another student who's usually quiet has become our go‑to 3D‑printing helper, guiding classmates and celebrating every successful print.\r\n\r\nThank you for giving our students tools that help them feel capable, curious, and proud of their learning. Your support truly matters.","fullyFundedDate":1758899160615,"projectUrl":"project/reading-creating-and-thriving-tools-f/9743447/","projectTitle":"Reading, Creating, and Thriving: Tools for Equity","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. DiBartolomeo","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp2306057_orig.jpg?crop=1:1,smart&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1557710844626","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/ldibartolomeo"},{"teacherId":3201940,"projectId":9092797,"letterContent":"Thank you once again for your generous support.

Thank you for giving us the tools to unlock our students' potential.\r\n\r\nCurrently, we are deep into preparing for our upcoming performance, which will showcase not only the students' acting abilities but also their collaboration, design thinking, and storytelling skills. Our next steps involve finalizing the stage layout, polishing character development, and incorporating movement and staging that bring our story to life. With your help, I am building an interactive and visually rich \r\nenvironment where students can explore dramatic expression and connect more deeply with the art of performance.
