The new microwave, mini fridge, and snack supplies have already made a huge difference in our day. Before, many of my students brought food that they couldn't heat or keep cold, which meant lunches were often rushed, uncomfortable, or eaten half-cold. Now, students can warm their meals, safely store yogurt or fruit, and even grab a quick snack if they didn't have breakfast that morning.\r\n\r\nOne moment that really stood out was our very first lunchtime with the new setup. A few students were literally cheering (one yelled, \"We're a real classroom now!\") as they took turns warming their food. Several students told me it felt \"like home\" to have warm lunches together. The room was full of smiles, quiet conversation, and that calm sense of being cared for — which is exactly what I hoped for.\r\n\r\nNext, our class is working on building healthy routines around taking care of our space and one another. Students have assigned roles to keep the fridge organized, wipe down the microwave, and make sure snacks are shared fairly and respectfully. This responsibility is helping them grow their independence and confidence — and the warmth and comfort of a good meal supports their learning more than I can ever fully express.","fullyFundedDate":1756075029551,"projectUrl":"project/help-me-minimize-disruptions-and-foster/9513041/","projectTitle":"Help Me Minimize Disruptions and Foster Independence","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Rivas von Bargen","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp9619842_orig.jpg?crop=1:1,smart&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1753817719122","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9619842"},{"teacherId":9619842,"projectId":9512119,"letterContent":"Thank you so much for your generous support of our classroom!

The scooters will give kids a chance to move, relieve stress, and re-focus—especially important for those who don't have safe spaces to play outside of school. A new rug will provide a warm, central gathering place for read-alouds, discussions, and group activities, building both comfort and community. And the new books will diversify our classroom library, giving students access to engaging, culturally relevant stories—often their only opportunity to read outside of school.\r\n\r\nTogether, these resources will make learning more accessible, joyful, and inclusive for every child in my classroom.
