The new supplies helped me get the classroom set up, organized, and ready for my students before the first day. They noticed right away — a few even said things like, \"This looks awesome!\" and \"I can't wait to start!\" It made the room feel warm and welcoming from the start.\r\n\r\nHaving what we needed right away made such a big difference. Instead of worrying about missing supplies, we were able to jump straight into learning and building our classroom routines. It's made everything smoother and more fun for both me and the kids.\r\n\r\nI'm so grateful for your support.

It became more than just a project since students really took ownership, helping sort the food and adding little notes to brighten someone's day. A lot of students were very grateful for the packages espeically when they were hungry and had nothing to eat during the school day. We're now talking about hunger in our community and brainstorming ways we can help, like starting a small food drive. The project opened their eyes and their hearts.","fullyFundedDate":1704725581311,"projectUrl":"project/warmth-care-hunger/8130663/","projectTitle":"Warmth, Care, Hunger","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Chan","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-9_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/7186937"},{"teacherId":9674140,"projectId":8747896,"letterContent":"Thank you for helping me to support my students.\r\n\r\nStudents are settling into the cozy corner more and more. Students also utilize the sensory tools throughout class lessons to help them engage with lessons while regulating their needs. \r\n\r\nTesting and personalized online learning have also been easier with headphones. Students have more of what they need to continue learning and feeling like the class is theirs as well. The technology has also helped me check in with students, complete paperwork, and worry less about accessing technology-based lessons with videos and images.\r\n\r\nThank you again for your support towards our classroom.
