I wanted to take a moment to share how your donation of snacks was used in our classroom and how much it meant to our students. After completing state testing, my students were understandably exhausted from the long days of concentrated work and the pressure of performing at their best. Testing requires focus, patience, and mental stamina, and it can be both physically and emotionally draining. Your donation provided the perfect opportunity to recognize their hard work and give them a small reward to celebrate completing this important milestone.\r\n\r\nWhen the students first saw the snacks, their reactions were immediate and heartfelt. You could see their eyes light up, and many of them expressed excitement and gratitude. Some students commented on how fun it was to have something special to look forward to after all their efforts, while others simply smiled and began sharing with their classmates. The snacks created a sense of community in the classroom, as students gathered together, talked, laughed, and enjoyed a brief moment of joy and relaxation. This experience was more than just eating a treat—it was a chance for students to connect with one another, reflect on their hard work, and feel proud of their accomplishments.\r\n\r\nYour contribution not only provided snacks but also created a meaningful experience for the students. It allowed us to reinforce positive behavior and celebrate achievement in a tangible way. The classroom moment also emphasized teamwork and sharing. Students were encouraged to be mindful of one another, offering extra portions to peers who hadn't grabbed theirs yet and practicing gratitude by thanking their teachers and classmates for making the moment special. It was a simple gesture, but it had a big impact on the classroom atmosphere, promoting kindness, cooperation, and a sense of reward after a challenging week.\r\n\r\nLooking ahead, the students are now returning to their regular classroom activities with renewed energy and focus. The break and celebration helped them recharge and approach lessons in reading, math, and science with enthusiasm and motivation. Your donation has indirectly supported their learning by providing this post-testing boost, reminding students that their hard work is noticed and celebrated. This kind of support encourages continued engagement, focus, and effort in all classroom tasks.\r\n\r\nOnce again, thank you so much for your thoughtful contribution. Your generosity helped create a positive, memorable experience for the students, rewarding their perseverance and bringing smiles to their faces. It is moments like these that make a lasting impact, reminding students that their achievements matter and that the community cares about their success. Your support makes a real difference in the classroom, and we are deeply grateful.\r\n\r\no","fullyFundedDate":1769733030068,"projectUrl":"project/smarter-testing/10052821/","projectTitle":"Smarter Testing","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Barnett","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-2_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9866683"},{"teacherId":9866683,"projectId":9704071,"letterContent":"I want to sincerely thank you for your generous donation of a printer, chart paper, Crayola XL markers, and fidget supplies to my classroom.

The printer allows me to provide individualized materials quickly, ensuring each student can access lessons that meet their specific needs. The chart paper and markers have made learning more interactive, encouraging creativity and hands-on participation that enhances understanding and engagement.\r\n\r\nAdditionally, the fidget toys have been invaluable in helping students maintain focus and self-regulate during instruction, creating a more productive and supportive learning environment. Your donation has enriched our lessons and allowed me to better address the diverse needs of my students, giving them opportunities to thrive academically and socially.

I would like to express my gratitude and answer the following questions.\r\n\r\nHow are you and your students using the new resources? Share a specific classroom project or moment.\r\n\r\nWe are using the new resources across both Math and ELA instruction every day. The bins and pouches help students stay organized during math lessons by holding manipulatives used to model arrays, solve word problems, and explain their thinking. In ELA, the new books and cozy chairs have transformed our classroom library into a welcoming reading space. One memorable moment was during independent reading time when students eagerly selected books, settled into the chairs, and stayed engaged for extended periods—something that has been a challenge in the past. The resources support both hands-on learning and meaningful literacy engagement.\r\n\r\nHow did your students react when they first saw the materials?\r\n\r\nMy students were thrilled when they first saw the materials. They immediately gravitated toward the cozy chairs and books, asking when they could start reading, while others explored the bins and pouches and began organizing their math tools. There was a strong sense of ownership and pride as students realized these materials were just for them. The excitement quickly turned into purposeful use, and students were eager to incorporate the tools into their learning routines.\r\n\r\nWhat are the next steps for your students on a current classroom lesson or project?\r\n\r\nNext, students will continue using the manipulatives stored in their pouches to solve and explain multi-step math problems with models and written justifications. In ELA, we are building stamina and comprehension through independent and small-group reading using the new books and library space. Students will respond to texts through written reflections and discussions, making connections between what they read and their own experiences. These resources will continue to support organization, engagement, and deeper learning across content areas.","fullyFundedDate":1758202898219,"projectUrl":"project/cozy-and-clean-excited-2-gleam/9669857/","projectTitle":"Cozy and Clean, Excited 2 GLEAM","teacherDisplayName":"Mr. Poe","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-7_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/10203972"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_64970","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":450,"numTeachers":54,"percentFrplEligible":91,"percentAsian":1,"percentBlack":8,"percentWhite":1,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":88,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"Pre-K - 5","studentTeacherRatio":"8.3:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"SUBURBAN","ncesMetroType":"SUBURB_LARGE"},"inStateSupporters":49.4,"schoolId":64970,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Rogers Heights Elementary School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Rogers Heights Elementary School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/maryland/prince-george-s-county-public-schools/rogers-heights-elementary-school/64970"}
