One of their favorite days is when a new snack choice is introduced! \r\nOur school day is long, and we do not eat lunch until 1:30pm. The morning snack really helps to keep the students focused and learning throughout our long morning.

It is because of Donors like you that my students are able to explore and excel in their creativity. Without your contribution, we would have never been able to get games for our students. While board games do not seem like a traditional art tool, they are great ways to get student's imaginations going!\r\n It was wonderful getting to see them engage in creative play with one another. Students were ecstatic to open the boxes and read the instructions. While playing the games, I heard a lot of laughter and saw smiles on their faces! It is wonderful when learning is fun. \r\n Moving forward, we will use these games as a way to reward positive behavior in the art room. They look forward to the days we get to play our games after weeks of working hard on a project.","fullyFundedDate":1745518057182,"projectUrl":"project/clever-creativity/9254747/","projectTitle":"Clever Creativity!","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Nalley","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp8975149_orig.jpg?crop=3024,3024,x0,y30&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1677771851516","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/8975149"},{"teacherId":5562784,"projectId":9131691,"letterContent":"I cannot thank you enough for your generous contribution to my classroom!
