We've had some fun activities lately, and these little treats really helped a lot.\r\n\r\nFirst, we completed an activity called Poetry Tasting, for students to practice analyzing poetry. Because of your donations, I was able to provide a snack every day during this activity, which the students absolutely loved! It was fun to hear them come in each day and get so excited about something as simple as a granola bar.\r\n\r\nIn addition to that, I've been putting scratch and sniff stickers on notes that they have turned in on paper. The students love to compare stickers and comment on which one they each got. It adds a little spark of interest to something that can sometimes be monotonous. I'm looking forward to using the scented bookmarks and pencils in future as well. I know they will be a big hit!","fullyFundedDate":1792631161120,"projectUrl":"project/snacks-stickers-and-surprises/10387317/","projectTitle":"Snacks, Stickers, and Surprises","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Reeves","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/272x272/tp2482053_272x272.jpg?width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1482348724670","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/dana-reeves"},{"teacherId":9930496,"projectId":9128616,"letterContent":"Since acquiring materials from DonorsChoose, my students have been able to take their art journey to the next level. At first, students were working with colored pencils handled typically by elementary students. With the donations, I was able to provide my students with a classroom set of PrismaColor Premiere pencils.\r\nSince many students cannot afford upscale supplies like these, they were absolutely elated (and a little scared) to use them. Immediately we could see how much a change in materials affected the quality of their pieces. I have had students enter art competitions- and win!-, students create portfolio pieces, and students who are just happily exploring more on their hobby.\r\nFor the future, I am hoping to have even more materials for them to explore and utilize in their work. At the moment, I have new students inquiring about acrylic and oil painting, watercolor, pastels, etc. I even have kids requesting for me to start an AP art class in a couple years! \r\nI am so delighted to see how much these students love and appreciate not only the arts itself, but also those who helped make it happen.","fullyFundedDate":1740501269493,"projectUrl":"project/continue-the-arts/9128616/","projectTitle":"Continue the Arts","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Denise","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-9_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/ponpaca"},{"teacherId":9930575,"projectId":10188489,"letterContent":"My students were beyond excited when the new stuffies, key chains, snacks, and so much more arrived in the classroom! From the moment they saw the boxes, the room was filled with smiles, laughter, and so much gratitude. These items have already made a meaningful impact by helping create a more positive, welcoming, and motivating classroom environment where students feel valued and supported.\r\n\r\nThe stuffies have quickly become comfort items and positive behavior incentives for students who need encouragement during challenging days. Several students have even attached them to their backpacks with pride. The key chains have become fun motivational rewards that students proudly attach to their backpacks and lanyards, helping build classroom community and school spirit. The snacks have been especially impactful during long school days, giving students an extra boost of energy and helping them stay focused during lessons and collaborative activities.\r\n\r\nOne memorable moment happened during a small group activity when a student who normally struggles to participate became excited to contribute after earning a classroom reward. Seeing their confidence grow reminded me how important small acts of encouragement and support can be for students.\r\n\r\nBecause of your generosity, our classroom continues to be a space where students feel safe, motivated, and excited to learn. As we moved forward, students continued working on collaborative projects, classroom discussions, and team-building activities that strengthened both academic skills and positive peer relationships. These resources supported student engagement, encouraged positive choices, and helped make our classroom a place students looked forward to being in each day.\r\n\r\nThank you for investing in my students and for helping create meaningful moments they will remember long after this school year ends!","fullyFundedDate":1775967355081,"projectUrl":"project/motivation-for-math/10188489/","projectTitle":"Motivation for Math","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Rozewicz","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp9930575_orig.jpg?crop=1152,1152,x0,y65&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1758735224763","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9930575"},{"teacherId":2482053,"projectId":10095294,"letterContent":"Thank you so much for supporting our classroom! Students spend so much time at school, it helps to have a comfortable learning space with all of the necessary materials and tools to make learning accessible for all! Students often have to come to the front of the class and give speeches or present. Having a fun new keyboard and a nice rolling laptop cart make presenting that much easier! Students also use the podium often during public speaking class. Being able to dress up the plain wood front with some colorful contact paper makes it more fun to stand up there and gives the audience a little something different to look at. \r\n\r\nIt's also very helpful to have end tables to put at the arms of the couch we have. This helps students be able to work together and spread out around the room with a space for their materials. It helps to have options of places to collaborate during class.\r\n\r\nThank you again for your generosity!
