When students are hungry, it can be difficult for them to focus, participate, manage their emotions, and complete their work. Having snacks readily available allows students to meet a basic need without feeling embarrassed or distracted. Students can quietly grab a snack and return their attention to learning. This support has helped create a classroom environment where students feel cared for, supported, and ready to learn. The snacks may seem like a small resource, but they make a big difference in helping my students stay engaged and successful throughout the day.","fullyFundedDate":1787232888224,"projectUrl":"project/restocking-classroom-snacks-to-support-h/10210871/","projectTitle":"Restocking Classroom Snacks to Support Hungry Students","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Krmpotich","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp1432976_orig.jpg?crop=1:1,smart&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1636512396652","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/1432976"},{"teacherId":4787732,"projectId":10356736,"letterContent":"Thank you so much for all your support for my students.
