I have a room full of students who now beg to see all of their work in color. Before this year, my students did not have the ability to create a project, in color, and see the full product come to life! I have the \"artsy\" students who love seeing their designs and ideas, as well as their imaginations, come to life on a piece of paper. I have students who are not \"quite as artsy\" developing a love of creating. Finally, I have the students who may not be the best writers, or readers, diving into research and project creation as best as they can. The only problem is finding enough time during the day to allow them to create independently! I have seen progression in cooperation during partner work, group work, and growth in independence. The students are thrilled to display, talk about, and share their work.\r\nAs a teacher, I enjoy being able to bring new life to the classroom. Anytime I can print pictures of places or things that may be unfamiliar to my students, especially surrounding concepts we are learning, I consider it a win-win. My students are able to see and understand details that often do not show on a black and white rendering, especially from a school copier! Encouraging them to explore and research those things/places, knowing that those color copies may just pique some interest in a child, also makes teaching a wee bit easier! \r\nThank you for your support of education! We appreciate your kindness and generosity every day!","fullyFundedDate":1754404954051,"projectUrl":"project/help-my-students-see-in-color/9462981/","projectTitle":"Help My Students See in Color!","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Shanklin","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp10079409_orig.jpg?crop=601,601,x261,y53&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1752525373299","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/10079409"},{"teacherId":9852662,"projectId":9431836,"letterContent":"The year has started out beautifully! Our students came eagerly and happily to school this first quarter and their growth in skills, especially reading and vocabulary in the case of my students is already very notable. The books, games and supplies that you donated toward have made this learning fun and engaging. \r\n\r\nAs an ESL (English as a Second Language) or ML (Multilanguage learning) teacher, I have over 40 students that I pull in small groups. These are just a few of the 160+ML students at our school, all except a couple are from Spanish-speaking homes. The ones we pull need work on vocabulary and reading especially. They love when it's time to use the colorful and high-quality games and materials you helped us get. They play CVC matching games to learn key short vowel and CVCe long vowel words and vocabulary like opposites. They put together puzzles with similar words. They grow their speaking and people-description vocabulary skills playing Guess Who and so much more. \r\n\r\nMany of them ask to borrow the Spanish books and we have a loaner system so they can take them home and read as a family. Our new calendar looks way better than the old one and is helpful when they are looking ahead to classmates' birthdays, field trips and other special days. Our new class pet Axel (lotl) (as they named it), gets to hear how everyone's \"heart was happy\" when we share good news of the day and work on our social emotional health as a small group. \r\n\r\nIf you are near and would like to come visit our classroom one day, please feel free. We would love it! Thank you again for your generosity.
