Your thoughtful contribution helps create a positive and engaging learning environment for our students. They were so exited and appreciative for the kindness of people who don't know them personally, but chose to donate to the classroom.\r\n\r\nYour support has helped my scholars to stay energized, motivated, and ready to learn each day. The snacks keep them fueled for success, and the incentives encourage their hard work, good behavior and choices. It warms my heart especially to see the faces of students light up who just aren't able to bring a snack daily. Also, their incentive treasure chest is now full of fun, colorful, and meaningful rewards that encourage great expectations for learning.

These new resources have made such a big difference in our classroom. My students now have their own space to keep important materials like books, journals, headphones, and iPads right at their desks. This has helped us stay more organized and has cut down on time wasted searching for supplies.\r\n\r\nOne of my favorite moments was watching students slide their books into the seat sacks for the first time. They were so excited to have a spot that was just theirs. Many of them said, \"Now I won't lose my stuff!\" and \"This makes it easier!\" Their smiles said it all.\r\n\r\nBecause of your generosity, we can focus more on learning and less on clutter. These seat sacks especially support independent reading time, as students can quickly grab a book when they finish an assignment and dive right in. Our next step is continuing to build strong reading habits by increasing stamina and comprehension, and these seat sacks make it so much easier for students to transition smoothly into their reading practice.\r\n\r\nWe are so grateful for your kindness and investment in our classroom. You have given my students not just storage, but also independence and pride in their learning space.","fullyFundedDate":1755715573103,"projectUrl":"project/seat-sacks-for-success-keeping-our-clas/9486319/","projectTitle":"Seat Sacks for Success: Keeping Our Classroom Organized!","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Sublett","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/272x272/tp4404067_272x272.jpg?width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1491315498268","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/4404067"},{"teacherId":4404067,"projectId":9086366,"letterContent":"Thank you so much for donating snacks to our second-grade classroom!

It was heartwarming to see how something so simple could spark so much excitement and motivation.\r\n\r\nWe've been using the timers in a variety of ways. During independent work time, students now use the timers to manage their focus and stay on task. It's been especially helpful for students who need visual or auditory cues to stay engaged. We also use them during small group rotations, transitions, and brain breaks. The timers have made our day more structured and calm, which has helped maximize learning time and reduce classroom disruptions.","fullyFundedDate":1738936571192,"projectUrl":"project/race-against-time-helping-students-stay/9048585/","projectTitle":"Race Against Time: Helping Students Stay on Track!","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Sublett","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/272x272/tp4404067_272x272.jpg?width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1491315498268","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/4404067"},{"teacherId":8570070,"projectId":6642216,"letterContent":"The students had a wonderful time exploring animals and learning the alphabet through educational play—what a meaningful impact it has made!\r\nBecause of your generous support, they're developing a genuine love for learning.
