I think in order to truly appreciate this printer you really have to have the \"lower\" level printer like we have been printing with for the last 4 years. I have been fixing and tinkering with our ender 3 pro for 4 years I have practically rebuilt the machine twice now. I appreciate the machine because I feel like I have a team understanding of how intricate these machines are. This new printer is SO FAST!! I saw in the advertisement that it was bragging about print times but it didn't really sink in until I did the test print. I'm so tempted to send this test print through the ender 3 pro just to see how long it would take.\r\n\r\nI forgot the best part! I just realized I forgot to upload the screenshot of the app! I can see the printer printing from the Webcam! I can stop a failed print from my phone at school instead of coming home to a huge mess of wasted of filament. I haven't even started printing in multiple colors yet because that's a whole new level coding that I need to teach myself so I can teach the kiddos! I can't wait to learn so I can teach them!

I uploaded a few pictures of things the students created. There's a picture of an ice cream pint cup with spoon holder. This student made it for their mom as a thank you gift for helping him practice his OBOB questions. Then there's a set of love gnomes. I had a few students print these. The code for these wasn't created by my students, they found it on a website but they fell in love and begged to print it. So they got to learn about tweaking someone else models instead for this project. The box you see is super amazing! This was also a found STL code from a website, but it had to be tweaked to make them shorter or skinnier. They used these boxes for the game pieces for the hand they had created with resin for their classes and themselves. Some of my students work with me for all of my special projects, so they get to do resin and 3D printing. They fell in love with these boxes and created so many of them, not only for the games but themselves as well. They look \"super extra cool\" (as my students say)in the rainbow colors you generously got for us. The last picture is my craft table full of flexible articulated animals for various students in my school who were having some troubles with their behavior choices. Thanks to you I was able to make them things they were willing to work for. . . that's what you see on the table. Without you and all of your support I wouldn't be able to do any of these things with or for my students. Honestly wouldn't have access to this kind of opportunity otherwise.

Now we will be able to print all year long all the pictures we need to help all of our students improve their English skills. Also the sentence strips are a great tool and now that we have enough I see all of our teachers using them. Students are building sentences, reordering words, expanding sentences and so much more.

Before your support, our class was really struggling to make it to lunchtime. Many of my students would come in hungry, and by mid-morning their focus, energy, and emotional regulation were noticeably slipping. I tried my best to help by purchasing snacks myself, but it wasn't sustainable. Your donation could not have come at a better time.\r\n\r\nThanks to you, we now have a steady supply of snacks that keep students fueled and ready to learn. The moment we began using the snacks you provided, I saw an immediate difference. Students were more settled during our morning lessons and were able to concentrate for longer stretches of time. One student, who often became tearful before lunch because he was \"too hungry to think,\" now proudly tells me he feels \"ready for reading time\" after snack. Another student who typically has difficulty with transitions has been calmer and more regulated since having something to eat mid-morning.\r\n\r\nThese small moments of stability and success mean so much, especially for six and seven-year-olds who are still learning how to navigate their bodies and emotions. Your kindness has given them the chance to stay focused, participate more fully in class, and build confidence in themselves as learners.\r\n\r\nThank you for supporting not only their academic needs but their well-being. Your donation truly made a meaningful difference in our classroom community, and my students and I appreciate you more than words can express.","fullyFundedDate":1758905553815,"projectUrl":"project/help-me-feed-our-hungry-first-graders/9761183/","projectTitle":"Help Me Feed Our Hungry First Graders!","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Bui","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp9931562_orig.jpg?crop=336,336,x0,y41&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1740535261095","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9931562"},{"teacherId":3376946,"projectId":9257896,"letterContent":"This project has been amazing for all the struggling ADHD students in my school.

Every Friday students can shop at our team store with the points they have earned throughout the week. For every group of 15 points they can shop for one small prize. Recently I have added bigger prizes to our team store. Students can choose if they would like two small prizes or one big prize.\r\n\r\nI am impressed with the higher level thinking skills my students use in deciding how to spend their points at the team store.

Having these healthy, reliable snacks available ensures that every child can stay energized and ready to learn, especially on the days when they might come to school hungry or without a snack from home.\r\n\r\nThe mini pencil sharpeners and squishy fidget toys have been wonderful classroom incentives. The sharpeners enable students to take ownership of their supplies and stay prepared for learning, while the fidgets have proven to be a perfect motivator and calming tool for students who need help focusing or regulating their emotions.
