Your donation has made it possible for Room 16 students to bring more color into their creations. \r\n\r\nThe expo markers have made such a difference in their handwriting during phonics. The size of the markers allows them to easily grip the markers, helping them work on their penmanship and their word building. They also love their free drawing time! \r\n\r\nThey use their crayons and markers to make their own designs pop! Earlier in the school year, they were able to make puzzle pieces that represented who they are. Every day, they can see their drawings (and themselves) colorfully displayed, making Room 16 their own! \r\n\r\nThank you again for your support and contribution to our classroom success!","fullyFundedDate":1746536579463,"projectUrl":"project/basic-drawing-supplies/9141173/","projectTitle":"Basic Drawing Supplies!","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Garcia","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp9642378_orig.jpg?crop=1:1,smart&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1740251906814","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9642378"},{"teacherId":9642378,"projectId":9477342,"letterContent":"Thank you again for your incredible donation to Room 16! All the supplies have certainly made our classroom run more smoothly and organized. \r\n\r\nThe students are always asking to use our timer and the student helper of the day is excited to make sure we know how much time we have left to do our work. Their clear pockets keep their name tags in tact so there is no confusion over who sits where! They are a great help especially when guests come into the classroom and can clearly see who is who. \r\n\r\nThe mailboxes help ensure that students and families receive important school papers. It is also a relief to know that students who are absent for a day or two can check their mailbox and see what work they need to take home–instead of the usual scramble to find their papers. \r\n\r\nThe color storage bins have created a more organized and inviting library for the students! Now, students can browse titles with ease, making reading all the more exciting rather than shuffling through piles that often leave them deterred. \r\n\r\nThank you again for your contribution to our classroom!
