They got a little Peeps treat to take home and they got some more snacks for our snack bin. My students come into the classroom and work the whole period. They have snacks available if needed and they are very responsible for cleaning their spaces before leaving the classroom. The PEEPS treat will be very well received by all my students. Some got them today and some will get them tomorrow. Because of you, my students can get a few cool treats throughout the year when normally they would not in middle school. Even middle schoolers are young at heart and still miss the special events in elementary school. I bring a little joy where I can.

Many of my students come into class feeling discouraged about math and don't always see themselves as confident learners. What has been truly remarkable, though, is watching these same students light up when given the opportunity to read. During Literacy Week, the books you provided created moments I don't often get to witness—students who typically struggle were suddenly eager, engaged, and excited to pick up a book. It has been incredibly rewarding to see them experience success and joy in a different way, building confidence that carries back into our classroom community.\r\n\r\nYour donation has also made a difference during our many standardized testing days. For students who finish early—especially those who may already feel drained or frustrated—having access to these books gives them a meaningful and calming outlet. Instead of disengaging, they are choosing to read, often with an enthusiasm that has surprised me. These moments matter more than I can fully express, as they help students see themselves as capable learners beyond math. Thank you for creating opportunities for them to discover that confidence and for supporting our classroom in such a thoughtful way.","fullyFundedDate":1763866088874,"projectUrl":"project/math-kids-need-books-too/9912917/","projectTitle":"Math Kids Need Books Too!","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. McGuinness","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp10252327_orig.jpg?crop=720,720,x0,y0&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1763742583153","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/10252327"},{"teacherId":2370025,"projectId":9906497,"letterContent":"This was an amazing experience that I would not have been able to do without your generosity and love for my learning and my classroom.

We learned how to use movement and cheers to learn content. We learned that high expectations is key to all leaning! I plan to bring back ideas to my school as well. They talked about bringing forth 1% more effort and how much that can change a school. I am hoping this helps my own school when I start talking to other teachers.
