These materials are being used across subjects for activities such as math problem solving, writing workshops, and creative projects where students explain their thinking with drawings, models, and color-coded strategies. One special moment was watching students confidently grab the supplies they needed without hesitation, knowing that everyone had equal access to the tools required to do their best work. When the materials first arrived, the excitement was immediate all my students were eager, grateful, and proud to help organize the new supplies for our classroom.\r\n\r\nLooking ahead, these resources will continue to support our ongoing lessons by helping students stay focused, prepared, and engaged. With reliable supplies always available, students can spend more time learning and less time worrying about what they are missing. The next steps include using these materials to support small-group instruction, independent practice, and collaborative projects where students share ideas and learn from one another. Your generosity has created a more organized, welcoming, and productive classroom environment, and it will continue to positively impact my students throughout the school year.","fullyFundedDate":1763474847953,"projectUrl":"project/equipping-minds-one-supply-at-a-time/9558852/","projectTitle":"Equipping Minds, One Supply at a Time","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Chavez","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp10036367_orig.jpg?crop=2893,2893,x840,y1840&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1749493281801","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/10036367"},{"teacherId":10036367,"projectId":9558769,"letterContent":"This project has made a powerful difference for my students by ensuring they have access to snacks like granola bars, GoGo Squeeze, and chips during testing and other high-focus moments. I've already seen the impact during assessments, students who might normally complain of headaches or hunger were able to quietly grab a snack and stay focused on their work. One moment that stood out to me was a student who usually struggles to finish tests calmly, after having a snack, they settled in, stayed engaged, and completed the assessment with confidence. When the students first saw the snacks, their reactions were full of relief and gratitude. Several shared that they hadn't eaten breakfast, and knowing they wouldn't have to test on an empty stomach made them feel cared for and supported.\r\n\r\nBecause of your generosity, my classroom is now a space where students' basic needs are recognized as part of learning. Moving forward, these snacks will continue to support students during state testing, classroom assessments, and long instructional blocks, helping them build stamina and confidence. With their hunger addressed, students are better able to focus, manage stress, and show what they truly know. Your support has given my students more than just food, it has given them the chance to learn and test with dignity, comfort, and a clear mind.","fullyFundedDate":1763474789539,"projectUrl":"project/snack-to-success/9558769/","projectTitle":"Snack to Success","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Chavez","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp10036367_orig.jpg?crop=2893,2893,x840,y1840&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1749493281801","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/10036367"},{"teacherId":10036367,"projectId":9404768,"letterContent":"Thanks to your generosity, these new books have opened up incredible learning opportunities for my students. Each text is helping us build essential reading skills—everything from identifying the main idea and supporting details, to understanding characters' motivations, exploring themes, and strengthening vocabulary through context clues. These books also allow students to practice fluency, make predictions, and talk about their thinking in meaningful ways.\r\n\r\nIn our classroom, reading is active, joyful, and collaborative. Students read independently, with partners, and in small groups. They use sticky notes to track their thoughts, ask questions during reading discussions, and share their ideas with confidence. Because we now have a wider variety of texts, students are choosing books that truly interest them—stories, informational texts, and multicultural titles that help them see themselves and the world more clearly.\r\n\r\nSeveral students who once struggled to stay engaged during reading time are now eagerly reaching for books that match their interests. One student who rarely participated in discussions now raises her hand to share connections she discovers. Another student who was hesitant to read independently has found a series he loves and proudly tells classmates about the chapters he finished. These moments are happening every day, and they're a direct result of your support.\r\n\r\nYour donation didn't just provide books—it created excitement, confidence, and a stronger community of readers in our classroom.
