Students often come to class hungry, especially after a long morning or when they have missed breakfast, and hunger can make it difficult to concentrate, participate, and complete challenging work. Having snacks available means students can take care of that need without missing class or feeling singled out. The variety of options also allows students to choose something they enjoy, which has helped create a classroom environment where students feel supported and cared for.\r\n\r\nThe treats have also become a positive classroom incentive that I can use to recognize students for effort, responsibility, kindness, participation, and academic growth. My students were incredibly excited to see the variety of snacks and treats arrive, and they quickly began talking about which ones they wanted to try. These small rewards have given me another way to celebrate students who are working hard, taking academic risks, helping classmates, or showing maturity. Most importantly, these materials have allowed me to focus on the whole student while continuing to challenge them academically. Whether we are writing, reading a difficult text, preparing for an assessment, or working through a challenging assignment, my students know that their classroom is a place where they are supported.","fullyFundedDate":1789001169385,"projectUrl":"project/fueling-focus-snacks-support-for-midd/10283532/","projectTitle":"Fueling Focus: Snacks & Support for Middle School Students","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Whiteman","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp9736187_orig.jpg?crop=1:1,smart&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1744907757656","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/whiteman"},{"teacherId":9736187,"projectId":10287683,"letterContent":"These materials have helped me create a more organized and student-friendly classroom where students can easily access the supplies they need. The letter trays allow me to organize assignments, handouts, and materials by class or purpose, while the pencil boxes and storage bins keep frequently used supplies organized and accessible. Instead of spending valuable instructional time searching for materials, my students can quickly find what they need and get started on their work. The storage also helps me keep our classroom prepared for the many different activities we use throughout the year, from independent reading and writing to small-group work and stations.\r\n\r\nMy students were especially excited to see the new organization supplies because they immediately recognized how much easier it would be to find and take care of our classroom materials. The electric kettle has also allowed me to create a small, welcoming space for appropriate classroom routines and teacher preparation. These resources may seem simple, but they have made a meaningful difference in how smoothly our classroom operates. With a more organized environment, I can spend less time managing materials and more time teaching my 8th-grade students reading, writing, critical thinking, and communication skills.","fullyFundedDate":1788993013546,"projectUrl":"project/storage-solutions-for-student-learning/10287683/","projectTitle":"Storage Solutions for Student Learning","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Whiteman","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp9736187_orig.jpg?crop=1:1,smart&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1744907757656","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/whiteman"},{"teacherId":9736187,"projectId":10271146,"letterContent":"These supplies have helped me create a more comfortable, welcoming, and supportive classroom environment for my 8th-grade students. The tissues, hand sanitizer, lotion, and lip care products are available for students when they need them, allowing them to take care of small personal needs without having to leave class or feel embarrassed. Middle school students often arrive at school dealing with dry skin, chapped lips, allergies, or simply needing a tissue, and having these resources readily available helps them feel cared for and ready to learn.\r\n\r\nThe impact goes beyond convenience. When students know that their classroom is a place where their basic needs are considered, they are more comfortable participating, focusing, and staying engaged in learning. These supplies have also helped me maintain a clean and healthy classroom environment throughout the school year. I am grateful to our donors for recognizing that creating a strong learning environment means supporting the whole student. Because of your generosity, my students have the resources they need to feel comfortable, cared for, and ready to focus on the important work happening in our classroom.","fullyFundedDate":1788569186857,"projectUrl":"project/supporting-student-wellness-every-day/10271146/","projectTitle":"Supporting Student Wellness Every Day","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Whiteman","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp9736187_orig.jpg?crop=1:1,smart&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1744907757656","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/whiteman"},{"teacherId":9736187,"projectId":10308258,"letterContent":"This new collection has given my 8th-grade students more opportunities to see themselves, their interests, and their experiences reflected in what they read. Our classroom library now includes high-interest manga, graphic novels, LGBTQ+ stories, sports stories, and books exploring identity, friendship, perseverance, and belonging. For many students, especially those who have struggled to see themselves as \"readers,\" having a book that genuinely interests them has made a major difference. Students are excited to recommend books to one another, talk about characters and plot twists, and find the next book they want to read.\r\n\r\nReading in my classroom is more than simply finishing a book. Students practice making inferences, analyzing characters and themes, citing evidence, determining the meaning of unfamiliar words, and discussing how authors develop ideas. Manga and graphic novels also give students an opportunity to analyze how images, dialogue, pacing, and text work together to create meaning. Students can then transfer these skills to more complex grade-level texts and writing assignments. During independent reading, students have time to read books of their choice, build stamina, and experience the satisfaction of completing a book they selected themselves.\r\n\r\nThe impact has been especially noticeable with students who previously avoided reading or struggled to find a book that held their attention. Hunter x Hunter and Death Note have been particularly exciting additions for students who are drawn to manga and anime, while books such as Check, Please!, I Wish You All the Best, Radio Silence, and She Drives Me Crazy have helped other students find stories connected to identity, relationships, friendship, and belonging. These books are not just filling shelves, they are helping students become more confident, curious, and independent readers. I am incredibly grateful to the donors who have helped make our classroom library a place where every student can find a book they are excited to open.","fullyFundedDate":1789571757983,"projectUrl":"project/representation-through-reading-choices/10308258/","projectTitle":"Representation Through Reading Choices","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Whiteman","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp9736187_orig.jpg?crop=1:1,smart&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1744907757656","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/whiteman"},{"teacherId":3818033,"projectId":10072682,"letterContent":"Thank you so much for your incredible generosity in supporting my project!

My students are using the therapy dough and modeling clay during independent reading, writing conferences, and reflection time to help regulate stress, improve focus, and stay engaged in learning. The calming scents and hands-on texture have been especially powerful for students who benefit from sensory support, giving them a healthy, productive way to refocus instead of becoming overwhelmed. The ice packs have also been a quiet but important support tool for moments when students need comfort or a quick reset to return to learning.\r\n\r\nWhen the materials first arrived, the excitement was immediate. Students were genuinely curious and appreciative, many asked if they could try everything at once, and there was a strong sense of ownership and respect for the resources. The temporary tattoos quickly became a fun incentive for positive behavior and community-building moments, helping reinforce classroom expectations in a way that feels joyful rather than punitive.\r\n\r\nMoving forward, we will continue integrating these tools into our daily routines as we build stamina for reading and writing tasks. Students are also using them during small-group instruction and independent work time to support focus and emotional regulation. These resources are helping create a classroom environment where students feel supported not only academically, but also socially and emotionally, making it possible for more students to fully engage and succeed.","fullyFundedDate":1778859536744,"projectUrl":"project/sensory-supports-for-student-success/10283857/","projectTitle":"Sensory Supports for Student Success","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Whiteman","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp9736187_orig.jpg?crop=1:1,smart&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1744907757656","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/whiteman"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_37681","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":915,"numTeachers":60,"percentFrplEligible":55,"percentAsian":13,"percentBlack":57,"percentWhite":11,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":8,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","percentHawaiianImputed":0,"percentMultiracialImputed":8,"gradesServed":"6 - 12","studentTeacherRatio":"15.2:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"URBAN","ncesMetroType":"SUBURB_LARGE"},"inStateSupporters":64.1,"schoolId":37681,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Brown Deer Middle High School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Brown Deer Middle High School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/wisconsin/school-district-of-brown-deer/brown-deer-high-school/37681"}
