When a child's basic needs are met, they can finally relax and dive into learning with energy and excitement. Because of your kindness, our classroom snack bin is stocked with healthy bites that keep our growing minds fueled and ready to tackle the day.

I work incredibly hard to make my room feel comfortable for anyone who walks in, because it should be more than 4 walls. It should be a place where I feel at home. Even more importantly, it should be a place where my students feel at home. This project directly impacts this idea. I was able to have furniture that helped my room become a comfortable space for everyone.\r\n\r\nWhen my students saw colorful stools, bean bag chairs, a cozy library, and a warm pink chair for flexible seating, I knew they felt at home. Many of my students love taking breaks. They need a moment to reset and be ready to learn. The library carpet is the perfect space for them to sit. The bean bags allow students to relax. The pink chair adds to every cozy vibe. The classroom is perfect for taking a moment to relax, then get back to work. I can tell that my students are doing their best learning.\r\n\r\nIt may seem simple, to have a few new pieces of furniture, but it is extremely important.

I cannot tell you how excited my students were when I told them they were \"allowed\" to color with markers. Not only did the simple use of markers make them happy, but the color options, styles, everything about the markers was exciting. Who knew something so simple could be so amazing. \r\n\r\nStudents use whiteboards each day for phonics and sometimes math. The expo marker stock I know have are going to allow us to keep working without any waiting for new markers. The sharpies have allowed my students to label their folders, water bottles, pencil boxes, and more. They can see the colorful labels around the classroom and build their responsibility labeling on their own! \r\n\r\nThe snacks have been a big help already as well. I was able to surprise my students with a snack when they thought they had none. It is so nice to know they have a place to get a snack without feeling left out or hungry. It may seem little, but the impact is very large. \r\n\r\nEvery single item within this project has brought my class more joy than I would have even expected. It makes me excited to have the chance to allow students to have great materials and snacks, and know I can restock and not need to worry about buying more.
