Providing individually packaged snacks is a simple but powerful way to combat hunger, immediately improving a student's focus, energy, and overall well-being by stabilizing blood sugar and reducing the anxiety associated with food insecurity. Similarly, offering deodorant is vital for a student's social and emotional health, especially during adolescence; it directly boosts self-confidence, prevents social isolation caused by body odor, and removes a significant barrier to attendance and classroom participation. Finally, hair ties address both immediate comfort and health concerns, as they help students keep hair out of their faces for better concentration, ensure safety during activities like science labs, and are a crucial preventative measure against the spread of head lice. By stocking these basics, the care closet provides more than just supplies; it offers essential tools that restore comfort, confidence, and readiness to learn.","fullyFundedDate":1760020660441,"projectUrl":"project/care-closet-restock/9574028/","projectTitle":"Care Closet Restock","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Hubbell","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp3008471_orig.jpg?crop=640,640,x0,y0&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1559838884367","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/t-hubbell"},{"teacherId":3008471,"projectId":9501553,"letterContent":"Thanks to your generous donations, our classroom is now a much more organized and productive learning environment! The simple act of providing **essential supplies** like pencils, erasers, paper, and scissors has had a profound impact on my students' daily experience and their ability to focus on learning.\r\n\r\nThe pencil dispenser has been a game-changer. Instead of interrupting a lesson to ask for a pencil or rummaging through a messy desk, students can now quickly and silently grab a sharpened pencil as needed. This has dramatically reduced downtime and frustration.\r\n\r\nWhen I first unveiled the supplies, the students' reaction was a mix of awe and relief. The pencil cases, in particular, were a big hit. They loved having their own dedicated space for their tools. I heard comments like, \"Now I won't lose my good eraser!\" and \"Everything fits!\" The biggest surprise was their reaction to the sheer volume of supplies. They realized they didn't have to \"ration\" a single sheet of paper or a tiny eraser. This feeling of abundance immediately lowered their anxiety and increased their willingness to take risks with their work—they weren't afraid to erase and start over or to use a fresh sheet of paper for a brainstorm. They felt respected, prepared, and ready to work.\r\n\r\nYour contribution has done more than just purchase supplies; it has given my students the gift of time, organization, and a clear path to successful learning. Thank you again for investing in their education.","fullyFundedDate":1753897563879,"projectUrl":"project/back-to-school-essentials/9501553/","projectTitle":"Back to School Essentials","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Hubbell","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp3008471_orig.jpg?crop=640,640,x0,y0&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1559838884367","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/t-hubbell"},{"teacherId":3008471,"projectId":9300281,"letterContent":"Thank you so much for your generous support of our classroom project.

We often discuss unfamiliar words in context, which helps them retain and use these new terms in their writing and conversations.\r\nEmpathy and Perspective-Taking: Many of the texts tackle themes of diversity, culture, and social justice. Students are developing a greater sense of empathy as they see the world through the eyes of different characters. We have incorporated group discussions and book clubs, allowing students to share their thoughts and insights. This collaborative approach fosters communication skills and encourages respectful dialogue. \r\n\r\nSeveral students have shown remarkable enthusiasm for the new texts. A student who previously struggled with reading, has blossomed since discovering graphic novels. They provide her with visual context, making the stories more accessible and enjoyable.
