By offering healthy snacks and opportunities for short mental breaks, such as coloring activities, the project helped students recharge during periods of academic stress. These breaks encouraged mindfulness, creativity, and social connection, allowing students to return to their work with improved focus and a more positive mindset. Overall, Brain Bites contributed to a healthier school culture that values balance, self-care, and the importance of nurturing both the body and mind for academic success.","fullyFundedDate":1755715147006,"projectUrl":"project/brain-bites/9447399/","projectTitle":"Brain Bites","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Prieto","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-5_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/mllteacher"},{"teacherId":6588680,"projectId":8158588,"letterContent":"Thanks to your incredible generosity, our resource room now has a brand-new small group instruction table — and it has already made such a difference! The moment my students walked in and saw the new table set up, their faces lit up with excitement. They immediately noticed that there was now plenty of space for everyone to sit comfortably, spread out their materials, and focus on their work without feeling cramped. It has truly transformed our small group time into a more organized, inviting, and productive learning environment.\r\n\r\nWe are using the table daily for small group resource room lessons. One special moment was during a recent reading intervention session: with the extra space, students were able to comfortably use their personal toolkits—like graphic organizers, decoding charts, and manipulatives—without feeling crowded or overwhelmed. The new setup has made it much easier for me to work closely with each student, provide immediate feedback, and tailor support to their individual learning needs. As we move forward, the table will continue to support targeted instruction as students work on their IEP goals, strengthen foundational skills, and build confidence in a calm, structured space that truly feels like their own.","fullyFundedDate":1711199675302,"projectUrl":"project/room-for-all-in-the-resource-room/8158588/","projectTitle":"Room for All in the Resource Room!","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Zultowski","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp6588680_orig.jpg?crop=1663,1663,x110,y766&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1745848697087","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/6588680"},{"teacherId":6588680,"projectId":8194108,"letterContent":"Thanks to your generous support, our classroom has been transformed with the addition of a new iPad! The iPad has quickly become a valuable tool during both whole-group instruction and independent work time. It has allowed me to deliver lessons more dynamically, using interactive apps, videos, and digital activities that capture my students' attention and deepen their understanding of new concepts. Students are especially excited to participate in activities like digital quizzes, reading programs, and skill-building games that help reinforce what they are learning in a fun and meaningful way.\r\n\r\nDuring independent work time, the iPad has become a critical support for students who benefit from additional practice or need access to differentiated materials. It offers opportunities for students to work at their own pace, self-correct mistakes, and build confidence in their skills. I have seen an increase in student engagement, motivation, and pride in their work since incorporating the iPad into our daily routine.
