The new resources allowed me to update our Breakfast Crew binder, create student tags, use timers, and establish clear and consistent morning routines.\r\n\r\nThe impact is already being felt by our students. During our student climate discussion today, students shared that breakfast has gotten so much better and that they enjoy starting their day there. Hearing this feedback was especially meaningful because one of our goals was to make breakfast more than just a place to eat. We wanted it to be a positive and welcoming way for students to begin their school day.\r\n\r\nThe materials have helped us create more structure and predictability. Student tags and our organized binder help us keep track of responsibilities and participation, while timers support transitions and help students know what to expect. Our Breakfast Crew has also given students opportunities to take ownership and be part of creating a positive morning environment for their peers. Moving forward, we will continue building on these routines and expanding opportunities for students to develop responsibility, independence, and leadership through our Breakfast Crew.\r\n\r\nThank you for helping us create a more organized, welcoming, and positive start to the school day for our students!","fullyFundedDate":1779829441537,"projectUrl":"project/breakfast-cubs-crew/10294387/","projectTitle":"Breakfast Cubs Crew","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. RIVERA","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-1_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/8068580"},{"teacherId":9459534,"projectId":10369577,"letterContent":"Thank you for supporting my classroom and helping me create a dedicated space for students to read.

Even students from previous years have started coming by in the morning to sit and read a book before the bell rings.
