The new sports books are a massive hit with my athletic students and are getting my most reluctant readers picking up books and ENJOYING it.\r\nWithin this project, you also supported my classroom by purchasing phonics lessons in which I can use to support my struggling readers with direct instruction during small groups.

The snacks we've received have helped students get through this winter. Not only that, but your donation has allowed me to put my classroom philosophy into practice. My philosophy is centered around ensuring students' basic needs are met so they can focus on learning. A snack may not seem like a huge thing, but to a child, it is a lot. They are growing and have very long and busy mornings, so they easily get hungry. This tends to create a domino effect that can easily impact their behavior. Just a single snack allows a student to do their best work and be in a great mindset.\r\n\r\nIt's been wonderful to see how a simple snack can transform a child's mood and focus. They come in each morning eager to see what's available, and it's made a noticeable difference in their energy levels and overall classroom atmosphere. Because they have the energy to focus, I've noticed a real difference during our reading block. They get an energy boost to push through to focus during lessons, get their assignments done and meet their Lexia unit goals for the day.\r\n\r\nThank you again for your generosity and for partnering with me to create a positive learning environment where all students can thrive. Your support truly means the world to me and my students.","fullyFundedDate":1733103716800,"projectUrl":"project/snack-restock/8901684/","projectTitle":"Snack Restock","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Tecaxco","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp9587570_orig.jpg?crop=1080,1080,x0,y248&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1720823897603","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9587570"},{"teacherId":8894179,"projectId":7180570,"letterContent":"Thank you for your recent donation to our Third grade class.
