The students greatly appreciated the snacks, which kept them fueled and energized during recess. I was also able to read the book aloud to the kiddos before passing out their very own personalized copies.\r\n\r\nHere in our third-grade classroom, I always teach growth mindset and social-emotional awareness to help broaden my students' horizons. This, in turn, supports their mental health and teaches them how to persevere when things get tough. The book Be You! is the perfect reminder for each student to always stay true to themselves, even during challenging times, and to never let others influence them negatively.","fullyFundedDate":1771656299524,"projectUrl":"project/be-the-best-you-you-can-be-with-snacks/10107648/","projectTitle":"Be the Best You, You Can Be With Snacks!","teacherDisplayName":"Mr. Jerry","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp9398409_orig.jpg?crop=3000,3000,x0,y0&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1701667158206","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9398409"},{"teacherId":10346003,"projectId":9935630,"letterContent":"Thank you so much for the love you have shared with my students and the garden.

While sitting outside on our garden picnic table, we made lots of lemonade, salads, and tasting spreads. The students were so excited when they heard we had tools for everyone to use. We love being able to prepare food as a whole class, instead of just one or two students getting the opportunity.\r\n\r\nThese materials have been such a blessing for this school year and I know your contributions will be appreciated beyond belief for years to come.\r\n\r\nThank you again for everything you have done for my students and school.","fullyFundedDate":1774635849434,"projectUrl":"project/growing-cooking-and-tasting-in-our-gar/9935630/","projectTitle":"Growing, Cooking, and Tasting in Our Garden","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Kat","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp10346003_orig.jpg?crop=1647,1647,x806,y1255&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1762561011055","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/10346003"},{"teacherId":8977435,"projectId":10016113,"letterContent":"What a difference your support has made for our classroom!

Our construction students have already begun the intricate process of routing their names into wood projects, using the epoxy resin, mica powders, and precision mixing tools to create professional-grade inlays. This hasn't just taught them a technical skill; it has given them a profound sense of ownership and \"tangible pride\" as they see their own names shine in polished, vibrant colors. Meanwhile, our science and agriculture students are using the field notebooks to document the growth in our new vertical planters, bridging the gap between textbook theories and the food growing right before their eyes.\r\n\r\nBeyond the academic gains, the emotional atmosphere of our classroom has flourished. The guinea pig food and bedding have ensured that S'mores and Cookie remain healthy and happy, providing a vital source of comfort and emotional support for my middle schoolers. In a Title-1 school, having a reliable \"safe space\" with living creatures to care for helps students regulate their emotions and develop a deep sense of responsibility. Whether a student is calming down by watching a guinea pig or meticulously leveling a garden bed, these materials have provided the \"hands-on\" anchors they need to stay engaged with their education.\r\n\r\nYour generosity has done more than just stock our shelves; it has validated my students' potential as the future farmers, contractors, and leaders of our rural community. By providing everything from the hydroponic pods to the simplest pink pearl erasers, you have removed the barriers to their success and allowed their natural curiosity to take flight. Thank you for investing in the heart of Hawaii—our resilient and talented youth. They now have the tools to not only \"read\" about science and craft, but to live it every single day.","fullyFundedDate":1771611085724,"projectUrl":"project/dirt-dust-and-discovery-a-multi-senso/10104022/","projectTitle":"Dirt, Dust, and Discovery: A Multi-Sensory Science Experience","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. DeRego","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-4_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9657226"},{"teacherId":1490174,"projectId":9774111,"letterContent":"Your generous donation to replenish our snack supplies has helped tremendously in building students' stamina during test taking, recess and throughout the day and as needed. \r\n\r\nThank you so much for donating to our third grade class.

Art lets students picture stories, practice the small hand movements needed for writing, and share ideas in creative ways. It supports many learners by using pictures, sounds, and movement to link spoken words with images, build vocabulary, and encourage a love of reading.\r\n\r\nActivities such as drawing, painting, and sculpting build hand strength and coordination, which are important for developing neat handwriting. Making art tied to books or classroom themes helps children learn new words and concepts and improves their ability to communicate. Art also gives children a safe way to show feelings and ideas they may not yet be able to write or say, increasing their confidence and participation.\r\n\r\nThank you again for your generous donation — it will make a meaningful difference in our students' learning and growth.","fullyFundedDate":1771684437474,"projectUrl":"project/learning-through-art/10107656/","projectTitle":"Learning Through Art","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Getchell","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp2955456_orig.jpg?width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1686768255047","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/2955456"},{"teacherId":10346003,"projectId":9883715,"letterContent":"Thank you so much for your donation that provided garden materials for our classes.
