As an ESE teacher of students with varying emotional and behavioral disabilities, food is very important in my classroom. All of my students get hungry throughout the school day, in between breakfast and lunch, and even after lunch. As we all know, being hungry can really affect one's emotions and behavior. Having snacks available for when my students get hungry in between breakfast and lunch, and lunch and going home...has really helped with classroom climate. The students are no longer \"hangry\" therefore, they are less likely to have impulsive emotional outbursts. Also, some of the snacks were used as incentives (or extra snack) for completing work, following instructions, and showing kindness to others. I appreciate you and my students appreciate you.","fullyFundedDate":1758202735181,"projectUrl":"project/snack-breaks/9510384/","projectTitle":"Snack Breaks","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Glass","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp7973127_orig.jpg?crop=480,480,x136,y0&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1720339524683","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/7973127"},{"teacherId":7973127,"projectId":9510373,"letterContent":"Thank you for donating the garden boxes and kid garden gloves for my project.

Daily we go to the garden to water the seedlings that have sprouted. They are eager to help me set the garden hose setting to water the garden. One of my students who loves nature, reminds me everyday after lunch that it's time to tend to the garden.

Knowing that their teacher and those who support us are pushing for them to succeed.\r\n\r\nThese students were assigned to me as I have a passion for youth. They have already came up with plans on more things they can earn through their hardwork. Having motivational stimulants for them makes each of our days go better.

The games are for fun day when we have reached our class benchmarks or those days when technology is failing us. \r\n\r\nThe snacks are motivators. The technology age has placed things online and when students get to a certain percentage on their academic success rewards are tangible prior to having their diploma. The new product that seemed to excite them were actually the board games! Of course the snacks but they are used to me purchasing those also.\r\n\r\nAll of my students have been blessed to constantly be integrated to new items. We were previously blessed with touchscreen laptops! They still use those. They use their previously purchased headphones every day. My students are both blessed and grateful! Its funny when the headphones stop working, I say throw them out! They say, \"no, thats wasting they may work on another computer!\" Sometimes, its not what we are most grateful for, its showing them that we care and they will care also!","fullyFundedDate":1739881648128,"projectUrl":"project/adults-get-pay-day-students-get-play/9097488/","projectTitle":"Adults Get \"Pay Day\" Students Get \"Play Day\"","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Freeman (formally Brown)","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp9631895_orig.jpg?crop=488,488,x0,y48&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1723041396273","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9631895"},{"teacherId":9632547,"projectId":8574744,"letterContent":"On behalf of my students and myself, I would like to express our heartfelt gratitude for your generous contribution to our classroom project.
