Many of my students come to school eager to learn but quietly carrying hunger with them. Before your donations arrived, some struggled to focus, grew tired early in the day, or lost motivation halfway through our lessons. Now, because of you, they begin their day knowing that someone out there cares enough to make sure they can learn without a growling stomach.\r\n\r\nThe day the snacks arrived was unforgettable. My students gathered around the boxes, eyes wide with excitement and disbelief. Some of them whispered, \"Are these really for us?\" As they helped unpack and organize the supplies, their smiles were filled with gratitude. One student, who is usually very quiet, looked at me and said, \"Thank you for not forgetting about us.\" That simple sentence forever touched my heart. We now use the snacks during moments when thinking and focus are most needed — before quizzes, during extended writing, and in the middle of challenging lab activities.\r\n\r\nBecause of you, our classroom has become not just a place for learning, but a place of safety, kindness, and support. On a particularly long science lab day, I watched students who usually lose focus stay engaged, work together, solve problems, and even encourage one another. I heard laughter, collaboration, and determination — all fueled by the care you showed them. As we move into more hands-on science and engineering projects, your generosity continues to be felt every single day. On behalf of every student whose mind was fueled and whose heart was lifted: thank you. You are now a part of our classroom family.","fullyFundedDate":1741398856550,"projectUrl":"project/fueling-minds-snack-support-for-focused/9039470/","projectTitle":"Fueling Minds: Snack Support for Focused Learning","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. CHRISTINE","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp9312564_orig.jpg?crop=3727,3727,x0,y1342&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1736364943371","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9312564"},{"teacherId":9136350,"projectId":9185978,"letterContent":"Thanks to your generosity, our classroom is now cleaner, more organized, and welcoming.

The camera printer and technology resources you helped provide are doing far more than capturing moments — they're transforming how my students learn, reflect, and celebrate their growth. By documenting their projects, experiments, and collaborative activities, students are now able to see their learning in action and discuss what they've accomplished in a more meaningful way. It's also helping them build important digital literacy skills, as they learn how to organize photos, create timelines, and present their work.\r\n\r\nWatching students connect creativity, technology, and reflection in this way has been truly inspiring.\r\n\r\nBecause of your support, we now have a living record of our school year — a keepsake that celebrates learning, friendship, and growth.

It has quickly become the heart of our classroom, transforming how we explore, create, and learn. While many people think of technology as a tool for older students, in our kindergarten class, it acts as a giant, interactive window to the world. We use it for far more than just watching videos. For example, we take virtual field trips to the zoo to see the animals we're learning about up close, and we use simple drawing programs to bring the letters and shapes we practice to life in brilliant color and motion. This large, vibrant screen provides unparalleled visual support, making lessons accessible and captivating for every type of learner in the room. It helps us demonstrate concepts in a way that a small book or a whiteboard simply can't match, ensuring every child can see and understand.\r\n\r\nThe most exciting feature for the students is undoubtedly the ability to see their own work displayed on such a magnificent scale. After drawing a picture or crafting a story, each child gets the thrilling opportunity to have their masterpiece scanned and displayed on the big screen. The pride and confidence they beam with when pointing out their creation to their classmates is simply priceless. It has fostered a wonderful sense of community and celebration. I've been particularly touched by one student who loves the IMac's color, the first glance makes her feel safe when she read words seen on the screen. It added her confidence and loves to do extra mile to go and read.\r\n\r\nYour donation has done more than just give us a computer; it has given us a catalyst for creativity, confidence, and shared joy. You have provided these young learners with a powerful tool that makes learning an adventure. We are so grateful for your support.","fullyFundedDate":1753286811008,"projectUrl":"project/innovate-educate-enhancing-learning-w/9215343/","projectTitle":"Innovate & Educate: Enhancing Learning With an iMac","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Lovee Gumera","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp9164687_orig.png?crop=542,542,x0,y0&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1709585739534","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9164687"},{"teacherId":9136350,"projectId":9146522,"letterContent":"Thank you so much for your generosity in supporting our project, Fuel for Learning: Snacks and Storage for a Successful Year.Your kindness has truly made a difference in our classroom.

Their faces lit up as they eagerly took turns helping to organize their learning stations, making sure everything had its place.

This sense of responsibility has made our daily routines smoother and has fostered a greater sense of pride in our learning environment.\r\n\r\nMoving forward, we are channeling this newfound organization and cleanliness into our upcoming classroom projects, including our year-end souvenir project.
