She was just having a rotten day. We were able to visit the treasure chest and talk about memories and how they help us get through the hard days. She selected a small token from the treasure chest that actually reminded her of her grandmother. It was a moment that I will carry with me because the small critter she chose was so much more than a toy. It was a conversation about grief, how we remember those we love, and connection to those around us... and she left that day with a little smile on her face and few less tears in her heart.\r\n\r\nAnd that matters so much more to me as a teacher than anything else.","fullyFundedDate":1768495241313,"projectUrl":"project/bookaneer-best-day-treasure-chest/9875275/","projectTitle":"Bookaneer \"Best Day\" Treasure Chest","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Wear","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp10012387_orig.jpg?crop=1:1,smart&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1759199272258","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/bookaneers"},{"teacherId":10012387,"projectId":9974527,"letterContent":"Color-coding our kitchens in the FACS room has been one of the smarter ideas I've come up with as a newer teacher. Literally the first cooking lab after receiving the pots and pans, we were able to quickly assess who didn't do their dishes and tried to pass them off on a neighboring kitchen. The guilty parties 'fessed up and took their things back to their own kitchen. \r\n\r\nAs the teacher in the lab I can tell you having new items does make the kids take better care of the equipment and take better responsibility for the condition of their kitchens. We can quickly get kitchens cleaned up and reorganized. Even a fellow teacher commented on the efficiency of having things color-coded as he often uses the FACS kitchens and pulls things from multiple kitchens to process things from the school garden.\r\n\r\nThank you so much for supporting the kids in the Prentice School District.","fullyFundedDate":1768408187304,"projectUrl":"project/color-coded-kitchens-for-safer-smarter/9974527/","projectTitle":"Color-Coded Kitchens for Safer, Smarter Student Cooking","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Wear","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp10012387_orig.jpg?crop=1:1,smart&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1759199272258","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/bookaneers"},{"teacherId":10012387,"projectId":9777124,"letterContent":"I wish there were a way to fully capture the enthusiasm and the excitement when I shared with each group on their Collaboratory day in the library that we now had additional 3D pens to create amazing things with.

This skill is literally life changing but is also empowering for students when they can handle a potential emergency with confidence. \r\nBy far, the Ready or Not Tots have been the most impactful activity as the babies simulate real life in many ways. The care and attention they require mimics actual babies as these dolls cry regularly but unpredictably. Students appreciate carrying around the dolls as opposed to our flour/sugar bag babies of recent years. Dressing them, cleaning them, changing them, feeding them--all interactive activities that cannot be replicated with flour and/or sugar bags.\r\nYour generosity will change lives, build skills, and teach responsibility.
