Students rolled a dice and counted the dots to decide how many colorful beads to add to their bracelets. The laminating sheets kept the instructions and visual aids looking fresh and durable, so they could be used again and again. This way, teachers could keep the classroom lively and neat while teaching counting skills in an enjoyable and hands-on way.\r\n\r\nMeanwhile, the 100th day of school was celebrated with a sweet touch, using candy as part of the fun. Students used small candies to count up to 100, making learning about numbers a tasty experience. With the cold weather came the usual runny noses, making Kleenex and Lysol wipes a must-have in the classroom. Both teachers and students appreciated the tissues and wipes, allowing everyone to focus on learning and having fun without the distraction of sniffles.","fullyFundedDate":1765033606155,"projectUrl":"project/power-up-the-vipers-snacks-clocks-and/9749353/","projectTitle":"Power Up the Vipers: Snacks, Clocks, and Clean Starts!","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Patterson","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-4_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/10256186"},{"teacherId":9425340,"projectId":9671855,"letterContent":"I cannot thank you enough for your donation.

Having snacks in the classroom also enables me to feed students who get to school late and may miss breakfast and allows me to give them an extra snack at the end of the week so they can go home on the weekends with a full belly.\r\n\r\nYou are truly a blessing to my classroom.
