The Capstone students love a pick-me-up during their classtime, and they were so excited when I told them that I had gotten a Donor's Choose for them. They said I was the best, and that they were so happy I had thought of getting them snacks. I explained that I only asked for the donations-you, the donors, made it happen!\r\n\r\nI also shared the snacks with my Nutrition class students. In that class, I let them choose a snack, and then they had to evaluate the snack with regard to calories, fat, trans fat, protein, and fiber. This was a really great teaching opportunity. I teach them about label ingredients and how to evaluate food products, so they were able to use their newly-acquired skills while enjoying their snacks.\r\n\r\nI still have a great stash of snacks that will last throughout the semester. Small gesters like providing snacks go a long way toward building bonds with students, and I am grateful I was able to provide that with your help.","fullyFundedDate":1759209643931,"projectUrl":"project/snacks-fuel-creativity/9576637/","projectTitle":"Snacks Fuel Creativity","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Liskov","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp7182561_orig.jpg?width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1619631838675","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/7182561"},{"teacherId":1148549,"projectId":9106906,"letterContent":"Thank you so much for providing our art classroom with a laminator!
