Interactive tools allow students to work at their own pace, receive immediate feedback, and revisit concepts they find challenging. For example, students are using technology to conduct research, create multimedia projects, and connect what they learn in class to real-world problems — all of which make learning more relevant and exciting. Plus with the new printer, I can access their homework assignments faster and they can create more projects I can post. Having a printer lets students bring their digital creations to life — whether it's a story they've written, a science poster, or a piece of digital art. Printing their work gives students a tangible sense of accomplishment and pride, helping them see their learning as something real and meaningful. \r\n\r\nThank you so much for helping me access work faster and being more hands-on with my students.

Your kindness and support have made a meaningful difference in our classroom community. These donations provided our students with nutritious options to fuel their days, ensuring that no one had to learn on an empty stomach. Your generosity went beyond just providing food it provided care, comfort, and encouragement.\r\n\r\nThe impact of these healthy snacks has been tremendous. Students were able to stay focused and energized throughout the day, which led to improved participation and engagement during lessons. With the right nutrition, they had the stamina to work through challenging academic goals, complete hands-on activities, and collaborate with enthusiasm. The snacks offered a simple but powerful boost that helped students maintain steady energy levels, resulting in a more positive and productive classroom environment.\r\n\r\nBeyond academics, these donations supported creativity and confidence. During art projects and group tasks, students were more alert, motivated, and eager to express themselves. They worked together with joy and pride, fueled both by the snacks and the knowledge that there were people outside the classroom who cared about their success.\r\n\r\nThanks to your generosity, our students learned not only the importance of healthy eating but also the value of kindness and community. Your contributions reminded them that there are caring individuals who believe in their potential. From all of us—students and teachers alike—thank you for nourishing both bodies and spirits. Your impact will be felt far beyond the classroom.","fullyFundedDate":1740343403877,"projectUrl":"project/i-cant-hear-you-my-stomach-is-growling/9125521/","projectTitle":"I Can't Hear You My Stomach Is Growling","teacherDisplayName":"Mr. Rubio","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-8_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9928974"},{"teacherId":9926510,"projectId":9121047,"letterContent":"Our students were so grateful to receive the hygiene essentials!

These small supports have made a big difference in helping students regulate themselves and remain present in learning.\r\n\r\nWhen students first saw the snacks and fidget toys, they were genuinely excited. Many of them expressed gratitude and commented on how \"cool\" it was that people cared enough to donate to their classroom.
