Many of my students come to school each day carrying challenges from home, so having snacks and classroom supplies readily available has truly made a difference in helping them feel safe, cared for, and ready to learn. It was heartwarming to watch them proudly choose a snack during our breaks and return to class focused and happy.\r\n\r\nWe have already been using these resources daily in our classroom. The snacks help students stay energized throughout lessons, especially during long learning blocks and small group activities. I noticed an immediate improvement in student focus, participation, and classroom behavior once students knew they would not have to worry about being hungry. One special moment that stood out was hearing students say \"thank you\" with huge smiles as they enjoyed their snacks while working together during literacy centers. It reminded me how much small acts of kindness can positively impact a child's day.\r\n\r\nThese resources are continuing to support our classroom community as we prepare for the end of kindergarten and the transition into first grade.

Your donations have helped create a cleaner, healthier, and more welcoming learning environment where my students can feel safe, comfortable, and ready to learn every day. The cleaning supplies, paper towels, storage bags, and snacks have become important parts of our classroom routines and have positively impacted both student learning and classroom organization.\r\n\r\nWhen the supplies first arrived, my students were excited to help unpack and organize everything. They immediately noticed the snacks and were thrilled to see the Goldfish crackers, cookies, and fruit snacks added to our classroom snack station. At the same time, many students were curious about the cleaning materials and eager to help prepare our classroom care areas. One memorable moment happened after a collaborative science activity when students volunteered to help clean the tables and shared learning spaces using the new paper towels and Swiffer materials. They took pride in helping maintain a clean classroom and understood that everyone plays a role in creating a healthy learning environment.\r\n\r\nThe Swiffer WetJet pads and floor cleaner have made a tremendous difference in keeping our classroom floors clean and comfortable for students, especially during hands-on activities, indoor play, snack time, and small-group lessons on the rug. My students spend a great deal of time working collaboratively in shared spaces, and being able to quickly clean and sanitize the floors has helped maintain a more organized and welcoming classroom atmosphere. The Lysol disinfectant spray, paper towels, and hand-cleaning supplies have also helped reduce the spread of germs and support important hygiene routines throughout the school day.\r\n\r\nThe Ziploc storage bags have become extremely useful for organizing classroom materials, literacy manipulatives, math games, and student project supplies. Students are learning responsibility and independence as they help sort and store materials properly after lessons. These organizational tools have made transitions between activities smoother and have helped students stay focused and engaged during instruction.\r\n\r\nThe snacks have also had a meaningful impact on my students' ability to focus and participate during lessons. Many students benefit from having a quick snack during long academic periods, especially during literacy and math centers. The Goldfish crackers, cookies, and fruit snacks have helped students stay energized, attentive, and motivated throughout the day. During a recent reading comprehension activity, students were able to work for an extended period of time in small groups while remaining focused and actively participating in discussions. After a short snack break, students returned refreshed and eager to continue learning and collaborating with classmates.\r\n\r\nBeyond the physical supplies themselves, your generosity has helped strengthen our classroom community. Students are learning valuable lessons about teamwork, responsibility, gratitude, and caring for shared spaces. They take pride in helping clean the classroom, organize materials, and support one another throughout the school day. These routines have created a calmer, more positive environment where students feel respected and supported.\r\n\r\nAs we continue through the school year, these resources will continue supporting our daily classroom instruction, collaborative projects, and hands-on learning activities. We are currently focusing on strengthening communication, problem-solving, and teamwork skills through partner work and group-based lessons. Having access to clean learning spaces, organized materials, and snacks allows students to remain comfortable, focused, and ready to succeed.\r\n\r\nThank you again for believing in my students and supporting our classroom. Your kindness and generosity have made a lasting impact on our daily learning experiences, and we are incredibly grateful for everything you have provided. Your support helps create a classroom where students can learn, grow, and thrive each and every day.","fullyFundedDate":1734304754755,"projectUrl":"project/feed-the-little-brains-in-a-clean-enviro/8990884/","projectTitle":"Feed the Little Brains in a Clean Environment.","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Canales","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp8098859_orig.jpg?crop=1:1,smart&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1727041906843","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/8098859"},{"teacherId":8098859,"projectId":10051207,"letterContent":"Dear Donors,\r\n\r\nThank you so much for your generosity and continued support of our classroom. Your thoughtful donations have made a tremendous impact on my students by helping create a learning environment that is clean, comforting, welcoming, and supportive for every child. The paper towels, tissues, hand soap, winter mittens, and snacks have quickly become essential parts of our daily classroom routines, and my students benefit from these resources every single day.\r\n\r\nWhen the supplies first arrived, the students were incredibly excited to help unpack and organize everything. They immediately noticed the colorful snack packs and were especially excited about the Pringles, Oreo snacks, and fruit snacks. Several students also noticed the mittens and were happy to know that classmates who may forget gloves or come to school without winter gear would now have warm mittens available. One student even shared that it made them feel \"safe and cared for\" knowing our classroom had supplies to help everyone stay comfortable. That moment truly highlighted the importance of meeting students' everyday needs so they can fully focus on learning.\r\n\r\nThe tissues, hand soap, and paper towels have played an important role in keeping our classroom healthy and clean. Students use the Kleenex tissues and hand soap regularly throughout the day, especially during cold and allergy seasons. The Bounty paper towels and multifold paper towels help us quickly clean tables, sanitize shared classroom materials, and maintain a tidy learning environment. My students have become more responsible and independent by helping wipe down tables after projects, clean up snack areas, and practice proper hygiene routines. These simple daily habits have helped build a stronger sense of classroom responsibility and teamwork.\r\n\r\nThe snacks have also had a major impact on student learning and focus. Many students need a quick snack during long academic periods to help them stay energized and attentive. The Pringles snack cups, Oreo mini packs, and Mott's fruit snacks have helped students remain engaged during literacy centers, math rotations, and small-group instruction. One memorable moment happened during a collaborative reading activity when students were working in groups to discuss story elements and complete comprehension tasks. After taking a short snack break, students returned to the lesson refreshed and eager to participate. I noticed stronger engagement, better collaboration, and improved concentration throughout the activity.\r\n\r\nThe winter mittens have also been especially meaningful. During colder mornings and outdoor recess, some students arrive without proper winter accessories. Having extra mittens available has allowed students to stay warm, comfortable, and included during outdoor activities. This thoughtful donation has helped eliminate stress and embarrassment for students who may not always have access to these items at home.\r\n\r\nThese resources have also strengthened our classroom community by teaching students the importance of kindness, gratitude, and caring for one another. Students now help monitor supply stations, remind classmates about handwashing routines, and assist with keeping our classroom clean and organized. The materials have created opportunities for students to practice responsibility while also building empathy and cooperation.\r\n\r\nAs we continue through the school year, these resources will support many upcoming classroom projects, collaborative learning activities, and daily routines. We are currently focusing on strengthening reading comprehension, communication skills, and teamwork through partner and small-group activities. Having access to snacks, cleaning supplies, tissues, and comfort items helps students stay healthy, focused, and ready to learn without unnecessary distractions.\r\n\r\nYour generosity has made a lasting impact on my students' daily experiences and overall success. Thank you for helping create a classroom where students feel supported, cared for, and prepared to do their very best. Your kindness means more to us than words can fully express.","fullyFundedDate":1769536038774,"projectUrl":"project/warmth-full-and-clean/10051207/","projectTitle":"Warmth, Full and Clean!","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Canales","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp8098859_orig.jpg?crop=1:1,smart&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1727041906843","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/8098859"},{"teacherId":8098859,"projectId":9148530,"letterContent":"Dear Donors,\r\n\r\nThank you so much for your incredible generosity and thoughtful support of our classroom. Your donations have made a meaningful difference in the daily lives of my students and have helped create a cleaner, healthier, safer, and more comfortable learning environment for everyone. The paper towels, tissues, diapers, wipes, cleaning supplies, handheld vacuum, snacks, and other essential materials have become an important part of our classroom routines and have supported both student learning and overall well-being.\r\n\r\nFrom the moment the supplies arrived, my students were excited and curious to see everything being unpacked and organized throughout the classroom. Many of them immediately noticed the new snacks and comfort items, while others were excited to help place tissues, wipes, and paper towels in our classroom care stations. One particularly special moment happened during our classroom community lesson when students helped create \"clean-up teams\" to keep our learning spaces neat and organized. They proudly used the new handheld vacuum to clean our rug area after snack time and carefully stocked our tissue and paper towel stations. The students took ownership of keeping their classroom clean and welcoming, and it encouraged teamwork, responsibility, and pride in their environment.\r\n\r\nThese materials have also helped support our youngest learners and students who need additional care throughout the school day. Having diapers, wipes, tissues, and paper towels readily available has allowed me to respond quickly and compassionately to students' needs without interrupting instruction or creating stress for families. The classroom now feels more prepared and supportive for every child. Students feel comfortable knowing that their needs will be met, and this has helped create a calmer and more positive atmosphere where they can focus on learning.\r\n\r\nThe snacks have also had a tremendous impact on student engagement and focus. Many students arrive at school hungry or need an extra boost of energy during long academic periods. The Utz snack packs, cookies, and fruit snacks have helped students stay attentive, motivated, and ready to participate throughout the day. During small-group literacy and math centers, I noticed students were able to remain engaged longer and contribute more confidently after having a quick snack and water break. These simple resources have made a big difference in students' moods, concentration, and willingness to collaborate with classmates.\r\n\r\nIn addition, the cleaning and hygiene supplies have supported important classroom lessons about health, self-care, and responsibility. Students are learning how to properly clean shared spaces, use tissues and wipes appropriately, and work together to maintain a healthy classroom environment. The rubbing alcohol, paper towels, and wipes have allowed us to sanitize frequently touched areas and classroom materials, helping reduce the spread of germs and keep students healthy and present at school. Families have also expressed appreciation knowing that our classroom is stocked with essential items that support student safety and cleanliness.\r\n\r\nAs we continue through the school year, these resources will remain an important part of our classroom community. We are currently working on collaborative learning projects that require students to work closely together, share materials, and spend extended periods engaged in hands-on activities. Having cleaning supplies, tissues, snacks, and comfort items available helps ensure that students can focus on learning without unnecessary interruptions. We also plan to continue building classroom responsibility routines where students help care for their learning environment and practice important life skills like teamwork, organization, and empathy.\r\n\r\nYour generosity has done far more than provide supplies—it has helped create a classroom where students feel safe, cared for, and supported every single day. Thank you for believing in my students and for helping us build a positive environment where all children can learn, grow, and succeed. We are truly grateful for your kindness and support.","fullyFundedDate":1742823922723,"projectUrl":"project/healthy-and-clean-minds-help-brighten-ou/9148530/","projectTitle":"Healthy and Clean Minds Help Brighten Our Students.","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Canales","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp8098859_orig.jpg?crop=1:1,smart&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1727041906843","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/8098859"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_323","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":729,"numTeachers":83,"percentFrplEligible":95,"percentAsian":0,"percentBlack":20,"percentWhite":0,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":77,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","percentHawaiianImputed":0,"percentMultiracialImputed":0,"gradesServed":"Pre-K - 5","studentTeacherRatio":"8.8:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"URBAN","ncesMetroType":"CITY_LARGE"},"inStateSupporters":53.3,"schoolId":323,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about PS 70 Max Schoenfeld School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"PS 70 Max Schoenfeld School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/new-york/new-york-city-dept-of-ed/ps-70-max-schooloenfeld-school/323"}
