Whether working together, taking turns, developing strategies, or simply enjoying time with their peers, these games help create a positive learning environment where students can build friendships and important life skills.

A simple snack may seem like a small contribution, but to a kindergarten student, it can mean so much. Snacks help students feel cared for, supported, and ready to learn. They also give us opportunities to teach important lessons about sharing, gratitude, kindness, and helping others. When students see the generosity of people who want to support them, they learn that their community cares about their success and well-being.\r\n\r\n Your kindness will never go unnoticed, and we sincerely appreciate everything you have done for us!","fullyFundedDate":1787598930527,"projectUrl":"project/full-tummy-fueled-brain/10526558/","projectTitle":"Full Tummy?

Within the first week of using it, I was able to repair six books that had suffered severe damage and would normally have been withdrawn from our catalog. Seeing those books restored and returned to the shelf, ready to be checked out and enjoyed by students once again, has been wonderful.\r\n\r\nThe financial benefit of your contribution is equally significant. By preserving our current inventory, this equipment will save our library a substantial amount of money on replacement costs each year. Instead of constantly using our annual budget to re-buy duplicate copies of worn-out titles, we can expand our collection with brand-new books. \r\n\r\nThank you again for your thoughtfulness and for your commitment to supporting our library and our readers.","fullyFundedDate":1780333853444,"projectUrl":"project/thermal-book-repair-keep-books-in-read/10279223/","projectTitle":"Thermal Book Repair - Keep Books in Readers Hands Longer","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Gangstead","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp8181852_orig.jpg?crop=960,960,x321,y0&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1779306210523","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/audeliacreek-library"},{"teacherId":4261364,"projectId":10032140,"letterContent":"Thank you for helping bring Snacks by Blacks to life in our school!

Connecting familiar snacks to Black history gave them a unique opportunity to see that history is not limited to textbooks; it can be found in everyday life, too.\r\n\r\nAs we continue learning, students will build on this experience by exploring the contributions of Black innovators, inventors, and entrepreneurs. They will reflect on what they have learned, make connections between historical contributions and the world around them, and develop a deeper appreciation for the impact Black individuals have made on society.\r\n\r\nYour generosity helped make learning more engaging and accessible for my students.
