In this apparently AI-driven age, many teachers are moving away from computer work and back towards pencil and paper. I've been on this train for awhile, but this year my co-teacher and I decided to move a lot more of the essay writing process back to paper. Last year, we had folders for our students - and there was not enough room in the folders to hold all the papers, leading to all sorts of chaos. This year, binders have helped immeasurably with organization! Few students have lost papers and students' work is much more easy to find.\r\n\r\nThis may seem like a basic project: it's not flashy or interesting. However, having papers organized and easy to find for students has been a game-changer, reducing class time spent on logistics and missing papers and increasing predictability, continuity, and flow in the classroom.

Once again, you've come through and enabled the classroom snack closet to exist. These snacks, while small, contribute to students' well-being in multiple ways:\r\n- Nutrition: as I've written before, many students live with caregivers who work multiple jobs, are not present at mealtimes, and are still barely making ends meet. Others live alone or with other teenagers and work evenings or nights. For numerous reasons, many of my students don't have access to consistent food at home. The snack closet is one small way to help address this issue.\r\n- Learning: as I've said many times, while I believe that all students can always learn, learning is easier when students are fed, rested, and taken care of. The snack closet is a small part of this. When students are struggling with what we are doing in class, I can give them a range of options - from taking a short break, walking around, doing art, or getting a snack - that will give them a bit of space and reset time to help them get back on track. Often, students request a snack and then immediately reengage in learning. Having snacks helps sustain students' energy and focus all day long.\r\n- Belonging and community: I aim for my classroom to be more than simply a space where learning happens. Every year, I hope (and work) to build a community where all students feel that they belong. Food is a part of this: learning and belonging are tied together and (as I said above) are easier when students' basic needs are met. Having food in my classroom (among other things I do) creates more of a \"homey\" environment that results in students hanging out and spending time together in this space, building connections and community across difference (and learning along the way).\r\nIn short, the snack closet may be a small thing but the impacts are significant for my students. Thank you for your continued support!","fullyFundedDate":1777043487748,"projectUrl":"project/snacks-for-success-spring-2026/10171678/","projectTitle":"Snacks for Success: Spring 2026","teacherDisplayName":"Mr. Jonas","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/272x272/tp5207226_272x272.jpg?width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1534731339108","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/mr-jonas"},{"teacherId":622034,"projectId":9957905,"letterContent":"I truly cannot say enough about the impact of this donation. My students are dipping their toes into the world as educators. For current high school students, this serves as a metacognitive moment where they are both participating in K-12 schools as students and educators. I have seen student perspectives on things their teachers do shift as they either see themselves working against those practices or replicating them in their own work with students. \r\n\r\nThe donations you provided to us have been used in two ways. First, three students in a 2nd grade class created an incentive program for students to earn a \"desk pet.\" Through this experience, the 2nd grade teacher has reported increased attention and students making decisions that are safer and more productive for learning. My high school students have learned about how to successfully set up an incentive program in a class. The students created guidelines that they practiced clearly describing to their students so it was concise and comprehensible. My students also had to develop a system for keeping track of positive behaviors that was sustainable as they were also supporting other aspects of the classroom this semester. \r\n\r\nThe second way we used the prizes you purchased impacted the entire school building. My students have worked hard to lead transitions in and out of their internship classrooms. The hallway expectations have been established for the entire school for the entire year. And yet, we noticed challenges to maintaining those expectations. My students created a school wide incentive program where any adult could give a class a star for a perfect hallway line. The class who received the most stars at the end of the week were able to pick a prize from the prize bin. Since we began this program, 10 teachers have come to share with my students and myself how impactful this has been on their students. They shared that elementary students were taking more accountability for themselves and their classmates in the hallways. \r\n\r\nSo thank you, from the bottom of our hearts. We so appreciate your generous donation and it has truly impacted education for the better!","fullyFundedDate":1772914180804,"projectUrl":"project/student-rewards-for-prek-4-classrooms/9957905/","projectTitle":"Student Rewards for PreK-4 Classrooms","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Chinen","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp622034_orig.png?crop=429,430,x0,y5&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1694638778257","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/622034"},{"teacherId":10351334,"projectId":9921100,"letterContent":"The squeeze toys and coloring books you helped provide went into use straight from the box and have been used and enjoyed every days since.
