This is suck a burden off of the parents of the students in my class and mine. The laminating sheets I am using for all my math task cards. Students learn better with hands on repetitive practice. I have printed, cut out, and laminated task cards. Students can use a whiteboard marker to work the cards and erase for the next students to use.

My students are so excited about the snack box. They get to choose from an assortment of items and have been able to find just the right thing to eat before they finish the day. It is hard for kids to focus when their tummy's are empty. Many of my students come to school hungry, they receive a free breakfast and lunch, then go home to very little food. This will help with that hunger. I cannot express how much I appreciate this donation. To see students smile as they pick out their snack brings joy to my heart.","fullyFundedDate":1747179029177,"projectUrl":"project/snacks-and-treasures-kids/9076803/","projectTitle":"Snacks and Treasures Kids","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Presa","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-1_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9905481"},{"teacherId":9070101,"projectId":9364118,"letterContent":"First of all thank you. My students have only been in school for three weeks so far. During snack time over a fourth of the students never have snacks. I have been passing out a handful of crackers to those students so they don't feel left out. When I received your donation I filled up my three tier snack cart. On Friday I was able to roll the cart out of my supply closet and surprise my students. Their faces lite up with excitement. Their lunch is at 11:05 so by 3 they are hungry. They loved getting to come up table by table and choose a snack off the cart. Even if they brought a snack from home I still let them pick something so everyone felt the impact from your donation. They started to tell me thank you but I told them it was from a generous donor from this site. Please know you generosity went a long way in my classroom.","fullyFundedDate":1747838160161,"projectUrl":"project/treats-and-treasures/9364118/","projectTitle":"Treats and Treasures","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Hammond","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp9070101_orig.jpg?crop=1:1,smart&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1705206673078","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9070101"},{"teacherId":9070101,"projectId":8955101,"letterContent":"First of all I want to say thank you for funding this project for my classroom. All of my students were so excited to see all of the snacks come in to fill their snack cart. About 50 percent of my class doesn't not bring a snack for snack time. Our lunch is early this year so by the time we get to snack time they have just finished recess and they need a little pick me up. Due to your generous donation my class will have a variety of snacks to choose from everyday until the end of the school year. It makes my teacher heart happy knowing that if a student needs a snack there is one available for them. Now that we have a small fridge/freezer combo we can start having popsicle Fridays. You have made this second grade teacher and all her students very happy.","fullyFundedDate":1735676127229,"projectUrl":"project/mrs-hammonds-snack-cart/8955101/","projectTitle":"Mrs. Hammond’s Snack Cart","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Hammond","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp9070101_orig.jpg?crop=1:1,smart&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1705206673078","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9070101"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_12312","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":898,"numTeachers":59,"percentFrplEligible":95,"percentAsian":0,"percentBlack":8,"percentWhite":61,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":25,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"Pre-K - 5","studentTeacherRatio":"15.2:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"RURAL","ncesMetroType":"RURAL_DISTANT"},"inStateSupporters":85.6,"schoolId":12312,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Sweeny Elementary School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Sweeny Elementary School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/texas/sweeny-independent-school-district/sweeny-elementary-school/12312"}
