Your kindness has truly made a meaningful impact on our students each and every day.\r\n\r\nWe use the snacks during our mid-morning and afternoon breaks, which helps students refuel and stay focused on learning. For many of our students, this small boost makes a big difference in their ability to concentrate, participate, and feel comfortable throughout the school day. We also use the snacks as positive incentives—students can earn a snack for meeting academic goals, demonstrating kindness, or showing improvement in behavior.\r\n\r\nOne special moment that stands out happened during a recent math review day. The class was working in teams to solve multi-step word problems in a friendly competition. Students knew that teams who demonstrated strong teamwork, perseverance, and positive attitudes would earn a snack break at the end of the activity. The motivation was incredible! I saw students encouraging one another, double-checking their work, and celebrating each correct answer together. Afterward, as they enjoyed their snacks, the classroom felt calm, proud, and full of smiles.\r\nBeyond academics, the snacks help build a sense of community. Students are mindful to make sure everyone has one, and they often thank our donors aloud when we pass them out. Your generosity supports not only their learning but also their well-being.\r\n\r\nThank you for caring about our students and helping us create a supportive, energized classroom environment.

Your thoughtful gifts have brought so much joy and motivation into our classroom!\r\n\r\nFrom the moment the students saw the items, their faces lit up with excitement. We have been using these resources not only during learning activities but also as positive behavior incentives. Students can earn time with the slime, choose a special pen for their work, or select a car or fidget toy as a reward for meeting goals, demonstrating kindness, or staying focused during lessons. This incentive system has been incredibly motivating and has helped reinforce positive choices throughout the day.\r\n\r\nThe pens have made writing time feel special, encouraging students to put forth extra effort and take pride in their work. The slime and fidget toys are also used during calm-down breaks and independent work time to support self-regulation. I've noticed students making more responsible decisions because they are excited about earning these privileges.\r\n\r\nOne memorable moment was during a recent classroom challenge where students worked hard to complete assignments and meet behavior expectations. At the end of the day, those who met their goals earned time to build ramps and race the cars. The room was filled with teamwork, laughter, and celebration—it was such a positive way to end the day.\r\n\r\nYour donation has helped create a classroom environment that is both supportive and motivating. Thank you for investing in our students' success and happiness. We are truly grateful for your generosity.","fullyFundedDate":1764853138680,"projectUrl":"project/prizes-that-spark-smiles-and-motivation/9760406/","projectTitle":"Prizes That Spark Smiles and Motivation","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Stubbs","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp9619226_orig.jpg?crop=1:1,smart&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1771466765939","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9619226"},{"teacherId":9619226,"projectId":9627485,"letterContent":"I am excited to share how much your generous gift meant to our classroom! When the students first saw the new digital clock and the crayon-shaped stress balls, their reactions were priceless.\r\nThe digital clock immediately caught their attention. Several students gathered around it, commenting on how bright and easy it was to read. A few even mentioned how helpful it would be for keeping track of transitions, independent work time, and countdowns for activities. Since installing it, students have become more aware of time management. I've noticed them glancing up to check how much time they have left and adjusting their pace accordingly—an important skill they are actively building.\r\n\r\nThe crayon stress balls were an instant favorite! The students were so excited by their fun design and bright colors. What made it even more special was how naturally they began using them as calming tools. During quiet reading and testing moments, I saw students gently squeezing them to stay focused. For a few of my more energetic learners, the stress balls have provided a simple but effective way to release extra energy without disrupting instruction.\r\n\r\nYour thoughtful donation has made a positive impact not only on our classroom environment but also on our students' ability to focus, regulate, and succeed.

We are truly grateful for the snacks—they have made a meaningful difference in our classroom.\r\nThe students have been enjoying them during our mid-morning break, which has helped improve both focus and energy levels throughout the day. Having a reliable snack available means students can concentrate on learning instead of feeling distracted by hunger.\r\nOne especially memorable moment happened during a recent small group reading assignment. We were working in small teams to create storyboards based on the book we're reading in class. Normally, a few students struggle to stay engaged for extended periods, but after having a quick snack break, they returned to their groups refreshed and ready to contribute. I noticed more collaboration, thoughtful discussion, and even some creative illustrations that they were excited to share with the class. It was wonderful to see their confidence and teamwork shine.\r\nThe snacks have also fostered a sense of community. Students remind each other about cleaning up and making sure everyone gets one, which has encouraged responsibility and kindness.\r\nThank you again for your generosity and support.
