Munchies, Motivation, and Mindful Moments

Help me give my students snacks, stickers, prizes and putty for play and food.

Mrs. Annie Deer Run Elementary School
East Haven, CT Grades PreK-2

My Project

Learning is hard work, and it’s nearly impossible to do on an empty stomach or with a restless mind. I am requesting a "Success Kit" of stickers, healthy snacks, and sensory putty to help my students stay regulated and motivated.

How these items will make a difference:

Healthy Snacks: A hungry belly is a huge distraction. Having a stash of snacks ensures that every student has the fuel they need to power through their morning lessons without the "brain fog" that comes from hunger.

Sensory Putty: For my students who struggle with anxiety or ADHD, putty is a "silent fidget" that works wonders. It gives their hands something to do so their minds can focus on the lesson. It’s a simple tool for emotional regulation and stress relief.

Incentive Stickers: Positive reinforcement is the heartbeat of our classroom. A simple sticker on a corrected paper or a "Great Effort" badge on a shirt provides a massive boost in confidence and keeps students striving for their personal best.

By supporting this project, you aren't just sending "stuff"—you are sending comfort, focus, and a reason for a child to smile. You are helping me ensure that every student in my room is ready to learn, both physically and emotionally.

This project will directly impact historically underfunded classrooms.
