Your donation has provided essential supplies that help create a welcoming, organized, and healthy learning environment for my students. From snacks that keep students focused during long mornings to tissues, hand sanitizer, disinfecting wipes, and classroom materials, every item you provided is being put to good use each day.\r\n\r\nYour kindness allows me to focus on what matters most: Building relationships with students and helping them grow as language learners. Having the supplies we need readily available means fewer interruptions to instruction and more opportunities for creativity, collaboration, and meaningful learning. The snacks have been especially appreciated by students who need a little extra boost to stay energized and engaged throughout the school day.\r\n\r\nBecause of your support, my classroom is more than just a place to learn French. It is a space where students feel cared for, respected, and encouraged to take risks as they build confidence in themselves and in a new language.

Thanks to your donations, we have expanded our classroom reward system, offering opportunities for students to earn rewards for positive behavior and for going above-and beyond with their Japanese work. We've been hosting weekly raffles for snacks, and the students are always excited to pick something from our many options -- especially the ones made by Japanese companies. Students have also been benefitting greatly from having access to healthy snacks such as the granola bars, as they give students the energy boost they need throughout the day. It's great to have a variety of snacks that suit the students' needs, whether it's a reward or a quick pick-me-up.\r\n\r\nIn addition, we've been getting plenty of use out of all the pencils. Since we do most of our Japanese class work on paper, it's been a huge timesaver to have pencils ready for students who may need an extra instead of having to spend time finding more or ask peers for one.\r\n\r\nIronna no koto de kansha shite imasu.","fullyFundedDate":1772550319593,"projectUrl":"project/ganbarimashita-recognizing-students-h/10084999/","projectTitle":"Ganbarimashita - Recognizing Students' Hard Work","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Ly","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp8669615_orig.png?crop=1206,1205,x0,y265&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1769542062674","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/lysensei"},{"teacherId":6780641,"projectId":10114967,"letterContent":"Thank you so much for your generous donation.
