The moment the new materials arrived, my students could hardly wait to dive in. Their faces lit up with excitement as we unpacked each item, and within minutes they were asking questions, making plans, and imagining how they could use the resources in their next projects. One student even said, \"It feels like our classroom leveled up!\"\r\nWe've already begun putting these tools to work. Recently, my students used the new resources during a collaborative project where they researched, designed, and presented their own solutions to real-world challenges. With the materials you provided, they were able to think more creatively, explore hands-on ideas, and share their work with confidence. A standout moment was watching a group proudly present their prototype—an idea that never would have come to life without the support you helped provide.\r\nAs we move forward, these resources will continue to play a central role in our lessons. My students are already planning their next steps: diving deeper into research, building more detailed models, and using what they've learned to develop even more ambitious projects. Your generosity has opened doors for them, and I can't wait to see where their curiosity takes them next.\r\nThank you again for investing in our classroom and believing in my students.

The dum dums, snacks, and sensory items you provided have made an immediate and meaningful impact on my students.\r\n\r\nHow we're using the new resources:\r\n\r\nThe snacks and dum dums have become a simple but powerful tool for motivation and encouragement. During small-group work, I offer them as little rewards, and it has helped students stay focused and engaged. The sensory items have been especially valuable—students use them during independent work, reading time, and calm-down moments to help regulate their emotions and stay grounded.\r\nOne of my favorite moments was watching a student who normally struggles with frustration quietly reach for a sensory tool, take a deep breath, and return to their work with confidence. It was a small moment, but such a big win.\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\nWhen the students first saw everything, their excitement was priceless. They immediately gravitated toward the sensory items, exploring textures and colors, while others cheered at the sight of a snack bin they could choose from. Several students asked if this meant they would have \"special things for when we need a break,\" and seeing that sense of comfort settle in was truly heartwarming.\r\n\r\nWhat's next:\r\nWe're now working on building routines that help students identify when they need movement, calm, or a quick energy boost. These resources will support us as we continue practicing self-regulation, independence, and positive classroom habits. The tools you provided are already helping students feel more in control of their emotions—and more ready to learn every day.\r\n\r\nThank you for giving my students what they need to feel safe, supported, and successful. Your kindness reaches them in ways that matter more than you know.","fullyFundedDate":1760054001429,"projectUrl":"project/sweet-motivation-dum-dums-snacks-for/9664298/","projectTitle":"Sweet Motivation: Dum Dums & Snacks for Superstar Students","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Clemens","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp8562250_orig.jpg?crop=572,572,x0,y45&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1692989617917","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/8562250"},{"teacherId":1398768,"projectId":9589938,"letterContent":"Distraction remains a significant barrier to developing foundational reading skills.
