The snacks you provided, Cheez-Its, Goldfish, and Animal Crackers are now incorporated into our daily routine and have already had a positive impact on student engagement. During extended learning blocks, particularly literacy and math rotations, these snacks help students maintain focus and stamina. A recent example occurred during a multi-step literacy activity: after a brief snack break, students were able to return to their work with improved attention and readiness to participate.\r\n\r\n For several students who do not always arrive with food from home, this resource has supported a more equitable learning environment and reduced disruptions caused by hunger or fatigue.\r\n\r\nAs we continue with our current units, these snacks will remain an important tool in supporting student focus, participation, and overall classroom readiness. Your contribution has directly enhanced our learning environment and allowed us to meet a basic need that strengthens academic success. Thank you for helping us provide a more stable and supportive classroom experience for all students.","fullyFundedDate":1757003169796,"projectUrl":"project/snack-time-smiles/9528773/","projectTitle":"Snack Time Smiles","teacherDisplayName":"Mr. Owen","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp10108930_orig.jpg?crop=1:1,smart&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1754695488080","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/10108930"},{"teacherId":9069585,"projectId":8665227,"letterContent":"Thank You for Giving My Students a Voice!\r\n\r\nThanks to your generous support, my nonverbal students now have voice output communication buttons—and they are already making a meaningful difference in our classroom!\r\n\r\nWe've integrated the buttons into daily routines such as saying, \"hello\" in the morning, choice-making activities like snack or play time, and even circle time.
