We've been using them as part of our daily literacy block to help keep students energized and focused during small-group reading rotations. One specific moment that stands out was during our \"Love That Dog\" poetry discussion—students were so excited to grab a snack, settle in, and share their interpretations. It created a calm, positive atmosphere that really helped them open up and participate.\r\n\r\nWhen the snacks first arrived, my students were thrilled. Many of them said it made them feel \"seen\" and \"cared for,\" and the surprise truly boosted classroom morale. Several students even asked if they could write thank-you notes because they were so appreciative.\r\n\r\nRight now, we're working on descriptive writing and expanding our stamina during independent reading. These snacks help students stay engaged, especially during longer writing periods. Our next steps involve a collection of poetry responses and a setting-description project, and having these snacks available keeps students motivated and ready to learn.\r\n\r\nThank you again for making a real difference in our classroom—you've added joy, comfort, and support to our learning environment!","fullyFundedDate":1758202985430,"projectUrl":"project/snacks-msmartin/9554347/","projectTitle":"Snacks, Ms.Martin","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Martin","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-3_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/10115184"},{"teacherId":7693277,"projectId":9848186,"letterContent":"Thank you so much for your incredible support of my project, \"Staying Warm and Full\". Because of your generosity, I received cozy coats and warm sweatshirts to keep in the classroom for students who don't come to school with a coat, and nourishing snacks to help keep them full and focused.

They have eased worries for many families and have helped ensure that every child feels cared for and prepared to learn each day.\r\n\r\nYour kindness has made a noticeable difference in our classroom. Students arrive feeling more secure, and better able to engage in their lessons without the distraction of hunger or discomfort.
