My students' faces lit up with surprise and joy. The candy has become tools that spark creativity, encourage participation, and turn lessons into experiences. The first time we used the candy, students created bar graphs and pie charts using different flavors and types. Seeing them so engaged while practicing essential math skills was a true \"aha!\" moment for me as a teacher.\r\n\r\nWe've also started using the candy in creative writing, where students design stories based on imaginary candy characters and colorful worlds. In science, we're planning simple experiments to observe how quickly different candies dissolve in water. An easy but fascinating way to explore concepts like solubility and chemical reactions. The best part is that the candy serves double duty: it's not just a learning tool, but also a reward for hard work, kindness, and collaboration, helping create a positive and motivating classroom environment.\r\n\r\nOur next steps include turning our candy-based projects into a mini \"Candy Learning Fair,\" where students can showcase their math graphs, writing pieces, and science observations to their peers. Thank you for helping bring more joy, creativity, and meaningful learning into our classroom.

The M&M'S, SNICKERS, SKITTLES, STARBURST, REESE'S, and more were not just sweet snacks, but powerful tools for motivation and recognition. My students' faces lit up when they saw the variety of rewards waiting for them. The very first day we used them, one student proudly earned a REESE'S for helping a classmate who was struggling with math. That simple act, and the reward that followed, sparked a ripple effect of kindness and effort throughout the room.\r\n\r\nWe've been using the candy as incentives tied to academic goals, behavior milestones, and classroom participation. For example, during our reading challenge week, every student who met their reading goal got to choose their favorite candy bar. The anticipation and excitement helped fuel a noticeable increase in focus and engagement. Students who were previously shy about participating are now raising their hands more often, knowing their contributions are seen and appreciated.\r\n\r\nLooking ahead, we're tying these rewards into a larger goal-setting project where students track their progress across different subjects. It's becoming more than just a sweet treat, it's a symbol of effort, growth, and community. Thank you for being a part of this positive change.

The beach buckets have been perfect for hands-on activities like sensory play and teamwork games. Recently, we used them for a group challenge where students worked together to build a structure, practicing cooperation, problem-solving, and creativity. The excitement when the students first saw the buckets was contagious. They couldn't wait to dive in and start building. It was such a rewarding moment to watch them collaborate and have fun while learning important skills.\r\n\r\nThe bubbles added a magical touch to our outdoor time, especially during our mindfulness sessions. Students practiced coordination by trying to catch or pop the bubbles, and they were thrilled by the playful, yet calming, experience. The sunglasses made outdoor lessons more comfortable and protected their eyes while we explored nature and took our learning outside. And the water bottles have kept everyone hydrated, allowing my students to stay focused and energized throughout the day.\r\n\r\nLooking forward, we'll continue to use these resources to support upcoming lessons, like using the buckets in science experiments or incorporating bubbles into a unit on air and weather. These materials have made a huge difference in how my students engage with both academics and play. Thanks to your generosity, they now have the tools to stay active, engaged, and ready to learn!","fullyFundedDate":1745846951954,"projectUrl":"project/cool-tools-for-hot-days-of-learning/9267240/","projectTitle":"Cool Tools for Hot Days of Learning!","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Ketchup","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp4745394_orig.jpg?crop=1:1,smart&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1587866871926","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/4745394"},{"teacherId":4745394,"projectId":9204288,"letterContent":"Thanks to your generous support, our Field Day was a huge success and our students absolutely loved every moment of it! When they first saw the colorful array of Gatorades, bottled water, hot chips, candy, and fruit snacks, their faces lit up with excitement. It was like a celebration just for them, and it made the day feel extra special.\r\n\r\nWe used the donated snacks and drinks throughout the day to keep students hydrated, energized, and focused as they rotated through a variety of fun and physically challenging activities. Whether they were competing in relay races, tug-of-war, or obstacle courses, the refreshments provided much-needed fuel and served as a great way for students to take breaks, connect with their peers, and cheer each other on.\r\n\r\nOne of the most memorable moments was during a water balloon toss game, students were laughing, cheering, and genuinely enjoying being together. During snack breaks, they sat in circles, sharing their favorites and swapping stories about their victories and close calls in the games. These simple moments turned into powerful reminders of the importance of community, celebration, and encouragement.\r\n\r\nThis event went far beyond just fun and games. It allowed us to reinforce key values like teamwork, perseverance, and sportsmanship. Many of our students face daily challenges, but on Field Day, they were able to let go, feel appreciated, and just be kids.\r\n\r\nNext, we'll carry the momentum from Field Day into the classroom with a reflective writing project where students will share what they learned about themselves and each other during the day. This helps reinforce the social-emotional growth that came from the event and it wouldn't have been possible without your help.\r\n\r\nThank you for being a part of something so meaningful. You gave our students more than just snacks. You gave them joy, connection, and memories they'll carry with them for a long time.","fullyFundedDate":1743011844070,"projectUrl":"project/we-will-win/9204288/","projectTitle":"We Will Win","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Ketchup","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp4745394_orig.jpg?crop=1:1,smart&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1587866871926","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/4745394"},{"teacherId":4745394,"projectId":8128730,"letterContent":"I absolutely love how my students come together as a community, helping one another overcome challenges, regardless of their different backgrounds.

This small gesture helps to send them home with something special, offering them a bit of enjoyment and comfort as they end their day.\r\n\r\nWhen the students first saw the candy, their faces lit up with excitement. Many of them immediately started discussing how they would save the treats for later, showing just how meaningful these little rewards are to them. It's not just about the candy; it's about reinforcing that their efforts are being noticed, and they have something to look forward to at the end of the day. This simple act of kindness creates a positive end to their school day, leaving them with a sense of accomplishment and motivation for the future.\r\n\r\nLooking ahead, these treats will continue to be used to encourage students to stay focused and productive throughout the school day. I plan to incorporate them into our upcoming classroom projects, where students can earn a snack as a reward for displaying teamwork, achieving goals, or showing kindness to others.

They immediately understood how these tools would help make our learning environment even better, and there was a buzz of excitement as they lined up to try the standing desk and use the new tech for the first time.
