They were eager to see what was available and excited to have something they could enjoy during the school day. For some children, having a snack may seem like a small thing, but in our classroom, it can make a big difference.\r\n\r\nOur students have an early breakfast and a late lunch, so there are times when little learners become hungry before it is time for lunch. When students are hungry, it can be difficult for them to concentrate, participate, and give their best effort. Having healthy snacks available allows us to take care of that need so they can get back to what they do best—learning!\r\n\r\nWe are continuing to use the snacks as part of our classroom routine, while also talking with students about making healthy choices and taking care of their bodies. My goal is for every child who enters my classroom to know that their well-being matters.\r\n\r\nThe next step is to continue building a classroom environment where students have the support they need to learn, grow, and thrive. Your donation is helping make that possible, one snack and one learning opportunity at a time.\r\n\r\nThank you for investing in my students. Your kindness reaches beyond the classroom supplies—it reminds my students that there are people who believe in them and want to see them succeed. I am truly grateful for your support of our classroom!","fullyFundedDate":1780999598262,"projectUrl":"project/fueling-young-minds-healthy-snacks-for/10092210/","projectTitle":"Fueling Young Minds: Healthy Snacks for Hungry 2nd Graders","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Brommell","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-3_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/10432184"},{"teacherId":3751026,"projectId":10174473,"letterContent":"Thank you for making our project, Big Kids, Little Readers: Inspiring a Love of Reading, possible! Your generosity gave my students the opportunity to become literacy leaders in a way they will never forget.\r\n\r\nWhen the materials arrived, my students were excited to get started. They carefully designed colorful bookmarks, wrote thoughtful notes of encouragement, and prepared to share their love of reading with younger students. They took great pride in knowing their work would encourage someone else.\r\n\r\nThe highlight of our project was visiting a primary classroom to read aloud to younger students. My students were patient, kind, and encouraging as they shared stories and connected with their reading buddies. Watching them step into leadership roles and seeing the smiles on the younger students' faces was incredibly rewarding.\r\n\r\nBecause of your support, my students learned that even small acts of kindness can make a big difference. They discovered that they have the power to encourage others, build confidence, and strengthen our school community through reading. Thank you for believing in my students and helping us create an experience that will have a lasting impact on readers of all ages.","fullyFundedDate":1775140054722,"projectUrl":"project/big-kids-little-readers-inspiring-a-lo/10174473/","projectTitle":"Big Kids, Little Readers: Inspiring a Love of Reading","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Harris","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp3751026_orig.jpg?crop=1:1,smart&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1684381628984","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/ms-harris-3rd-wbes"},{"teacherId":1564450,"projectId":9959828,"letterContent":"Thank you so much for your contribution to our outdoor center activities. The students enjoy having a change of scenery for center time. Our requirements say that we must have a dramatic play/kitchen center. This allows us to meet both our students needs and the requirements from our state program.\r\n\r\nThis opportunity brings our children together to participate in play. They are pretending to be their parents, chefs, bakers, etc. They love to work together to make food and baked goods for their teachers and friends. No student is ever left behind with this type of activity.\r\n\r\nOur English language learners and our students with disabilities have an equal playing field when experiencing the outdoor kitchen. They area building language skills along with social and emotional learning all while having fun with their peers.\r\n\r\nWe greatly appreciate your support of our fun.","fullyFundedDate":1775755770201,"projectUrl":"project/somethings-cooking-in-pre-k/9959828/","projectTitle":"Something's Cooking in Pre-K","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Lee","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp1564450_orig.jpg?crop=480,480,x0,y41&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1675366864725","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/1564450"},{"teacherId":3751026,"projectId":9233980,"letterContent":"When our new classroom supplies arrived, my students could hardly wait to see what was inside! Their eyes lit up as we unpacked the boxes filled with colorful dividers, shiny new computer mice, bright reward stickers, and the rainbow fraction tiles. They immediately started asking, \"Can we use these today?\" The excitement in the room was contagious and every student wanted a turn to explore, organize, and learn with our new materials.\r\n\r\nWe've already put these resources to great use in our lessons. The wired mice have made using our laptops so much easier. The students can click, drag, and type faster during reading and math programs. The folders and dividers have been a game changer for keeping their work neat, and the teacher stamp and stickers have become instant favorites. They love seeing them on their graded papers as a sign of accomplishment. The Rainbow Blank Fraction Tiles have made math more hands-on and fun. Students work in pairs to compare fractions, build wholes, and solve fraction puzzles that once seemed confusing. \r\n\r\nThese materials have brought a new sense of excitement, pride, and independence to our classroom. My students are learning to take ownership of their work and feel confident in their progress. Our next steps include using the fraction tiles to create a math center focused on fractions and equal parts, and designing new anchor charts using the chart paper to guide our lessons. Thanks to your generosity, my students have the tools and the motivation they need to make this a year full of growth and success.","fullyFundedDate":1755601987244,"projectUrl":"project/from-fractions-to-folders-fueling-3rd-g/9233980/","projectTitle":"From Fractions to Folders: Fueling 3rd Grade Learning","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Harris","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp3751026_orig.jpg?crop=1:1,smart&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1684381628984","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/ms-harris-3rd-wbes"},{"teacherId":3751026,"projectId":9358624,"letterContent":"My students have been so excited to explore our new TIME for Kids magazines. For many of them, this is the first time they've had access to a resource that connects what they are learning in school to the real world. Each issue introduces them to new vocabulary, nonfiction text features, and current events that spark rich conversations in the classroom. The financial literacy bonus issues are already helping students think critically about money, choices, and responsibility.\r\n\r\nReading now looks a little different in our room. Students gather together, magazine in hand, pointing out bold words, captions, and interesting photographs as they practice close reading skills. They use graphic organizers, write thoughtful responses, and even share \"news anchor\" presentations with their peers. It has been wonderful to see their confidence grow as they engage with texts that feel relevant and important to them.\r\n\r\nOne of my students who often struggled to stay engaged during silent reading now looks forward to TIME for Kids day each week. He proudly volunteers to read aloud articles and share what he learned, and his classmates cheer him on. Others are beginning to connect what they read in the magazine to topics in science and social studies, making their learning deeper and more meaningful. None of this would have been possible without the support of donors like you. Thank you for giving my students the chance to grow as readers, thinkers, and future leaders.","fullyFundedDate":1747846461588,"projectUrl":"project/news-knowledge-and-know-how-for-third/9358624/","projectTitle":"News, Knowledge, and Know-How for Third Graders","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Harris","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp3751026_orig.jpg?crop=1:1,smart&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1684381628984","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/ms-harris-3rd-wbes"},{"teacherId":3751026,"projectId":9137234,"letterContent":"When my students received their personal hygiene kits, the excitement was priceless. They opened their pouches with big smiles, looking through each item and even comparing with their classmates. For many of them, this was the first time they had their own set of hygiene products at school, and you could see the pride on their faces as they carefully organized their items. One student whispered, \"Now I don't have to worry about not having what I need,\" which was such a powerful reminder of how much this project means.\r\n\r\nMy students have already started using the kits in our classroom, and they have made a huge difference. Students discreetly use their chapstick, deodorant, or wipes as needed, which helps them feel more comfortable and confident throughout the school day. The pencil pouches keep everything organized and easy to access, and I've noticed how much more focused students are when they feel fresh and cared for. This project has not only supported their health and well-being but has also sparked conversations about self-care, confidence, and responsibility.\r\n\r\nThanks to your generosity, my students now have what they need to feel their best at school every day. The next step is continuing to build healthy routines so that caring for themselves becomes a natural part of their daily lives. Your support has created a classroom where every child feels valued, respected, and ready to learn and for that, I am are truly grateful.","fullyFundedDate":1746730542012,"projectUrl":"project/fresh-and-focused-helping-students-thri/9137234/","projectTitle":"Fresh and Focused: Helping Students Thrive with Hygiene Essentials","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Harris","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp3751026_orig.jpg?crop=1:1,smart&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1684381628984","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/ms-harris-3rd-wbes"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_47974","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":660,"numTeachers":50,"percentFrplEligible":85,"percentAsian":2,"percentBlack":65,"percentWhite":8,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":16,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","percentHawaiianImputed":0,"percentMultiracialImputed":5,"gradesServed":"Pre-K - 5","studentTeacherRatio":"13.2:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"URBAN","ncesMetroType":"CITY_MIDSIZE"},"inStateSupporters":43.4,"schoolId":47974,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about White Bluff Elementary School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"White Bluff Elementary School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/georgia/savannah-chatham-county-school-district/white-bluff-elementary-school/47974"}
