Our students absolutely love food, and they look forward to snack time with so much excitement. After working hard on lessons, centers, and activities, snack gives them a chance to pause, recharge, and refuel their growing bodies. For some students, it may also be an important source of nourishment to help them stay focused and ready to learn. Snack time is more than just eating it is also a special opportunity for students to practice sharing, conversation, independence, and good manners. Your generous donations help make snack time possible and ensure our little learners have something nutritious and enjoyable to look forward to each day.

The snacks are also greatly appreciated and help keep our students energized and ready to learn throughout the day.\r\n\r\nThe clipboards will be especially useful during centers, giving students a sturdy and convenient surface to complete activities as they move between learning stations.

My students were so excited to see the new chairs and immediately wanted to try them out! They now have a comfortable place to sit while looking through books, listening to stories, and sharing books with their classmates. In kindergarten, building a love of reading is so important, and having a special space dedicated to books makes reading even more exciting. I look forward to seeing my students grow as readers while enjoying this welcoming space.","fullyFundedDate":1778103482967,"projectUrl":"project/cozy-corner/10101556/","projectTitle":"Cozy Corner","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Brethauer","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp8311223_orig.jpg?crop=4284,4284,x0,y571&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1784228125586","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/8311223"},{"teacherId":8311223,"projectId":9919906,"letterContent":"Thank you so much for your generous donation and thoughtful support.

When my kindergarteners first saw the magnetic tiles, alpha pops, letter scoops, and the mystery alphabet box, they couldn't wait to explore. Their faces lit up, and the room instantly filled with energy and curiosity.\r\nWe use the Double-Sided Magnetic Letter Tiles during small-group reading, where students build their names, practice beginning sounds, and create simple words. One student who often struggles with confidence proudly spelled her name independently for the first time — a huge moment for her. The JoyCat Mystery Alphabet Box has also become a class favorite. Each morning we open a new drawer, reveal a letter, and complete a quick phonics challenge. Even my shyest students eagerly participate.\r\nThe fidget and sensory toys have made a meaningful difference as well. Many students rely on them to stay focused, calm, and ready to learn, especially during literacy rotations. The magnetic building tiles encourage creativity and teamwork, helping students connect STEM play with early reading skills.\r\nOur next steps include building CVC words, creating alphabet books, and exploring new phonics games using these materials. Thank you for supporting joyful, hands-on learning every day.","fullyFundedDate":1762266280487,"projectUrl":"project/bridging-gaps-building-futures/9851390/","projectTitle":"Bridging Gaps, Building Futures","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Brethauer","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp8311223_orig.jpg?crop=4284,4284,x0,y571&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1784228125586","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/8311223"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_72613","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":161,"numTeachers":6,"percentFrplEligible":95,"percentAsian":0,"percentBlack":54,"percentWhite":18,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":21,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","percentHawaiianImputed":0,"percentMultiracialImputed":5,"gradesServed":"K - 1","studentTeacherRatio":"26.8:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"SUBURBAN","ncesMetroType":"SUBURB_MIDSIZE"},"inStateSupporters":80.4,"schoolId":72613,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Thomas White Elementary School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Thomas White Elementary School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/michigan/bridgeport-spaulding-cmty-sd/thomas-white-elementary-school/72613"}
