Students earn money, and once a month, they can shop for things they like. The first time I did the class store this month, they were so excited to shop and start thinking about how they could earn more money for the next store time. Before the first class, I showed students a sneak peek of some of the items, and they were so excited. When they were finally able to shop, students had a hard time deciding what to buy, but they really liked all the items they were able to purchase. \r\nI have conducted the class store twice now, and each time, students are thinking about how they are going to spend their money. Students are counting money and learning about the value of an item. I will continue to run the store, and thanks to your donation, I will have items that motivate students to earn money. \r\nThank you so much for your generous donation. I appreciate it and so do my students.","fullyFundedDate":1746786329450,"projectUrl":"project/help-restock-our-class-store/9101140/","projectTitle":"Help Restock Our Class Store!","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Munoz","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-9_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9297837"},{"teacherId":5867467,"projectId":9142285,"letterContent":"Thank you so much for your participation with DonorsChoose and your continued support of classrooms, like mine.

They were all full of books that my students were eager to browse through. Many students wanted to write personal thank you notes to each and every donor who helped fund the project. When I told them that we would submit a thank you package, but would not need to write to specific people, they were very sad that they wouldn't be able to write and address a letter to all of you themselves.

This year first grade lunch is much later than usual, so snack time became a vital part of our routine. As students become familiar with the daily routine, the predictable pattern brings comfort.
