By addressing basic needs, such as hunger and personal hygiene, these donations help students stay focused, healthy, and engaged in their education. Nutritional snacks provide essential energy, allowing students to concentrate and participate in class without the distraction of hunger. Hygiene supplies ensure students maintain cleanliness and confidence, fostering better self-esteem and reducing stigma.\r\n\r\nAdditionally, the donations contribute to a more equitable learning environment, supporting students from all backgrounds and minimizing disparities in access to essential resources. Your generosity not only improves physical and emotional health but also cultivates a sense of community, showing students that they are valued and cared for. More importantly, these donations play a crucial role in enhancing both academic performance and personal well-being.","fullyFundedDate":1741928920646,"projectUrl":"project/clean-and-safe-learning-environment-for/9133419/","projectTitle":"Clean and Safe Learning Environment for Kids","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. HANNA MONICA A.

We play and learn in centers with our families, then receive a gift to take home and use to further learning for the month ahead until we meet again. \r\n\r\nThe Pop for Sight Words game was the monthly practice tool for December. Having already played the game in class a few times during literacy intervention groups, students were overjoyed to have their own game to take home. Practicing sight words allows students to be more accurate and more fluent readers.\r\n\r\nOur next family engagement event is this coming Friday. Students will be taking the balance toy home for January practice.
