It keeps them engaged and excited to learn.\r\n\r\nSome students who were shy or struggled before are now more confident.

Their eyes lit up as they saw how we could now print colorful reading materials, sight word cards, and math practice sheets right in our classroom. The laminating films have been especially helpful, we can now create durable learning centers that my students can use again and again without worrying about wear and tear.\r\n\r\nThe new printer and materials have transformed the way my students learn. During small-group reading, I can easily print differentiated worksheets and activities that meet each student's learning level. The laminated word cards and manipulatives make learning interactive and fun, while the magnetic erasers help keep our whiteboard lessons smooth and engaging. These resources allow my students to take pride in their work and handle materials more independently.\r\n\r\nWhat excites my students most are the tokens for our class incentive system. They love earning them for good behavior, effort, and participation, and they've become more motivated to stay focused and do their best. One of my quieter students, who used to shy away from reading aloud, now eagerly joins our reading games, partly because she's excited to earn a token, but also because she's gained new confidence through our engaging activities. Thanks to your generosity, my classroom has become a brighter, more interactive space where every child feels encouraged to learn and grow.","fullyFundedDate":1757550600216,"projectUrl":"project/printed-with-purpose-sealed-with-succes/9569211/","projectTitle":"Printed with Purpose, Sealed with Success","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Nagen","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp10166032_orig.jpg?crop=2316,2316,x0,y77&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1754777737131","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/10166032"},{"teacherId":2263318,"projectId":9642263,"letterContent":"Your generosity has improved our math classroom! Every time a class walks in, we complete a problem on our Math 360 boards. They have enough markers and erasers thanks to you. All throughout our math class, I find myself sending the students to work on their boards to either show me what they know individually, or to work as a team and learn from their classmates. The brainstorming that happens at their Math 360 boards is amazing. \r\nBeing able to get out of their seats and work on an erasable, vertical surface makes a huge impact on their attitude towards math.

Their faces lit up as we opened each box and discovered colorful letters, word tiles, and bright storybooks waiting to be explored. We now use these wonderful resources during guided reading and reading remedial sessions, and they have completely transformed our reading time into a moment of joy and discovery.\r\n\r\nOne of my favorite moments was watching a small group of struggling readers build words with the manipulatives and then proudly find those same words in their books. They smiled, clapped, and even helped one another sound out new words. It was such a beautiful reminder of how much confidence and happiness the right materials can bring to a child's learning.\r\n\r\nThese Lakeshore and Scholastic resources have made a world of difference in our classroom. My students are more eager to read, more willing to try, and more confident every single day. Thank you for making our reading centers a place of growth, laughter, and hope.

Our classes rotate recess space between 3 playgrounds and a field. One of our playground structures is currently roped off due to disrepair.

The hula hoops, jump ropes, bean bags, and target have made the field and the closed playground so much more exciting.\r\n\r\nAll of the donations have helped to increase the opportunities for imaginative and unstructured play time.
