We use the snacks as positive reinforcement during lessons, transitions, and moments when students show perseverance, kindness, or effort. On days when students arrive hungry after missing breakfast, a simple cereal bar or snack helps them refocus and feel ready to learn. One moment that stood out was seeing a student who often struggles with attention proudly complete a task, knowing a small reward was waiting—his smile said it all.\r\n\r\nWhen the students first saw the snacks, their excitement was immediate. They felt cared for and valued, and that feeling carried into their work. For my special education learners, these treats are more than just snacks—they are encouragement, comfort, and a reminder that their hard work matters. The snacks help create a positive classroom environment where students feel safe, supported, and motivated to try their best.\r\n\r\nAs we continue our classroom lessons, these resources will remain an important tool in helping students stay engaged and regulated throughout the day. Whether used as an incentive for completing academic goals or as support during challenging moments, snack time allows students to focus on learning instead of hunger. Your support has made a lasting impact on both their learning and their confidence, and I am truly grateful for the care you've shown my students.","fullyFundedDate":1763995235617,"projectUrl":"project/snack-time/9703108/","projectTitle":"Snack Time","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Siddique","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp9270135_orig.jpg?crop=1:1,smart&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1704857995340","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/mrs-siddique"},{"teacherId":7099555,"projectId":9878923,"letterContent":"Many of my students have the bare minimum, and these extra treats, snacks and water bottles for hard work and reading give them the incentive they need to be successful.\r\n\r\nMany of my students are ENL and SWD.

I have been able to laminate student-created artwork, which makes their work feel valued and celebrated while also preserving it for display. I also laminate students' completed writing pieces, including essays and poetry, so they can proudly share and revisit their work throughout the year. Seeing their writing treated as something worth protecting has boosted their confidence and motivation as learners.\r\n\r\nIn addition, laminating graphic organizers has completely transformed how students use them. They are protected from ripping and wear, and students can write on them with dry-erase markers, erase, and reuse them for ongoing practice and reference. This has encouraged active participation and reduced the need for constant reprinting. I have also laminated photos and visual references that students use during lessons, which has strengthened comprehension and engagement.

Your support has made an immediate and meaningful difference for our students, especially those receiving special education services. We are incredibly grateful for your investment in our learning community.\r\n\r\nWhile many of our donors use technology at home, classroom technology serves a unique purpose in education. This printer allows us to provide materials in multiple formats, which is essential for meeting the diverse needs of our students. We are now able to quickly print visual supports, graphic organizers, step-by-step instructions, enlarged text, and hands-on learning materials. These resources help students better understand lessons, practice skills at their own pace, and access content in ways that match how they learn best.\r\n\r\nWhat excites our students most is the immediacy and independence the printer provides. They love seeing their work printed right away and being able to use materials that feel personalized just for them. Whether it's printing a checklist, a reading passage at the right level, or a visual schedule, students feel more confident and motivated when they have tools designed specifically for their success.\r\n\r\nSeveral of our students have especially warmed to this new technology. Students who struggle with writing benefit from printed sentence starters and templates. Students with attention or processing challenges thrive when lessons include printed visuals they can highlight or manipulate. For some of our learners, having consistent, clear printed materials reduces frustration and helps them stay engaged and focused throughout the day.\r\n\r\nYour generosity has given us more flexibility, more creativity, and more effective ways to teach and learn. Most importantly, it has helped our students feel supported, capable, and proud of their work.
