Many donors may be familiar with printers at home, but in our classroom, these tools allow us to clearly label supplies, learning centers, student materials, and visual supports. This consistency helps students know exactly where materials belong and what is expected of them, which reduces confusion and increases independence—especially for students who benefit from clear structure and visual cues.\r\n\r\nWhat excites students most is seeing their classroom transform into a space that feels \"made for them.\" They love recognizing their names on folders, bins, and workstations, and they take pride in keeping materials organized because everything has a clear place. The portable printer also allows us to quickly create visual schedules, behavior supports, and learning aids right when students need them, instead of waiting or improvising.\r\n\r\nSeveral students have especially connected with this new technology, particularly those who thrive with visual organization or need extra support with transitions and routines. Having clear, printed labels and visuals has helped these students feel more confident and successful throughout the day. Overall, this project has supported smoother classroom routines, increased student independence, and a calmer learning environment—benefits that impact every student, every day.","fullyFundedDate":1764780532174,"projectUrl":"project/making-learning-visible-labels-and-prin/9751006/","projectTitle":"Making Learning Visible: Labels and Prints that Inspire!","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. MAE CABARLES","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp10249352_orig.jpg?crop=1214,1214,x0,y32&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1757393755950","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/10249352"},{"teacherId":9880137,"projectId":9898894,"letterContent":"Thank you so much for supporting our project and providing us with a laminating machine and laminating sheets.

They watched their work slide out of the machine looking shiny, sturdy, and \"brand new.\" Now, they treat their laminated materials with more care and pride because everything feels special and important to them. Having durable learning tools has also helped my students stay more organized and independent during centers and small group work.\r\nThanks to your generosity, I can create resources that will last all year—and even for years to come.

For many of them, these resources are something they rarely experience at home, making this even more meaningful.\r\nWe have already started using the items in our daily routines. The snacks have helped my students stay focused and energized throughout the day, especially during reading and writing time. Instead of feeling tired or hungry, they are now more engaged, happier, and ready to learn. These small bites truly make a big difference in how they show up in class.\r\nYour generosity created a positive change in our learning environment. You helped my students feel cared for, supported, and excited to come to school each day.

Your support has truly changed the daily experiences of my Special Education students in ways that are deeply meaningful.\r\n\r\nOne of my students used to be very afraid of loud sounds and would avoid group activities, especially during our drum group. Because of the materials you helped provide, he now feels safe and supported. Today, he is no longer afraid of the sound. He joins the drum group with confidence, participates alongside his classmates, and smiles with pride. Watching him overcome that fear and choose to be part of the group is something I will never forget.\r\n\r\nIn the gym, my students are now able to join their peers during activities. Instead of feeling overwhelmed or isolated, they feel included. They are participating, interacting, and building social connections with confidence. These moments of inclusion mean so much to them—and to me as their teacher.\r\n\r\nThe sensory beads you provided have also made a powerful difference in our classroom. The students are incredibly excited to use them, and I can clearly see how satisfied, calm, and focused they become while playing with the beads. These sensory experiences help them regulate their emotions and feel grounded. Seeing their sense of comfort and joy reminds me why these tools are so important for their success.\r\n\r\nYour generosity goes beyond providing materials. You gave my students confidence, comfort, and the courage to try new things. You gave them moments of success, belonging, and happiness. Most importantly, you showed them that people believe in them and care about their learning and well-being.\r\n\r\nFrom my students and from my heart, thank you for supporting our classroom and for being part of their journey.

While many of our donors use technology at home, seeing it in action at school—especially in a special education setting—can be truly powerful. The iPads have helped my students access learning in ways that match their individual needs. Students use them for communication, interactive lessons, and skill practice, which allows them to work at their own pace and build independence. The printer helps us quickly create visual supports, worksheets, and communication tools that students can use right away.\r\n\r\nThe most exciting part for my students has been how hands-on and personalized everything feels. They love using the iPads to make choices, listen to directions, and celebrate their successes with immediate feedback. The Velcro has been a simple but incredibly important addition—it allows us to create movable schedules, matching activities, and task boards that help students understand routines and expectations. This structure helps reduce frustration and increases confidence.\r\n\r\nSeveral students who struggle with traditional paper-and-pencil tasks have especially connected with this technology. Students who are nonverbal or have limited communication skills are now able to express themselves more clearly using the iPads, while others stay more engaged because the materials are interactive and visually supportive. Your generosity has made learning more accessible, meaningful, and joyful for my students, and I am deeply grateful for the impact you've had on our classroom-truly a grateful teacher.","fullyFundedDate":1764779576540,"projectUrl":"project/tiny-voices-big-tech-helping-kids-spea/9699678/","projectTitle":"Tiny Voices, Big Tech: Helping Kids Speak, Spell, and Shine","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. MAE CABARLES","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp10249352_orig.jpg?crop=1214,1214,x0,y32&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1757393755950","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/10249352"},{"teacherId":10159550,"projectId":9548314,"letterContent":"Good day!\r\n\r\nI am deeply grateful to our generous donors for blessing our music class with a printer.\r\nYour kindness and support truly make a difference in our learning environment.\r\n\r\nThis gift greatly enhanced our daily instruction by allowing us to prepare rehearsal sheet music, and lesson materials more efficiently.

One favorite moment was watching students sequence the burger activity and build CVC words using magnetic letters and CVC pop—students were fully engaged, smiling, and confidently explaining their thinking.\r\n\r\nWhen the materials first arrived, my students were thrilled. They eagerly explored the letter fish magnets, puzzles, and zipper folders, showing excitement and curiosity that immediately turned into learning. The bubble timers and velcro activities have helped students stay focused and develop independence.
