We are constantly searching for out of the box ways to motivate our student and always listening to the things they mention. This 3D printer has been such an amazing addition to our space. We have students with varying needs, we have been able to make custom fidgets for students. Which we have seen an increase in focus during learning times. The students feel apart of the process because they get to decide and also watch it be created. \r\n\r\nAs an additional tier 3 support students have worked towards meeting behavior or attendance goals to have the opportunity to created their own custom product. It has even sparked some students entrepreneurial spirit and they want to create space in our ROAR store for students to \"buy\" fidgets or items with our school wide token economy system. So they are definitely pushing us as a staff to keep up with their demands! We are so thankful to this new addition!

They have really loved playing with the new magnatiles. They love to build with them in the classroom and it is one of their favorite activities. However, one of the things we did this year is take them outside. We used them to collect nature items outside for our tree study. Each child took a stack outside and placed a piece of nature in between two magnatiles. They were able to hold it up to the sun and look at it. Then we brought the stack inside with the items and they were able to look at them with magnifying glasses in the classroom. They also found they could hang them from the playground equipment which was very cool for them! They tried to see how many they could get to hang from each other before they fell.

It may seem small, but providing daily snacks has had a major impact on my students' ability to focus, learn, and feel cared for. Many of my students come to school without having had a full breakfast, and by mid-morning, hunger becomes a real barrier to learning. With snacks now available, I've seen a noticeable difference in their energy levels, engagement, and even their moods.\r\n\r\nStudents are better able to concentrate during lessons and complete their work without the distraction of hunger. Behavior issues have decreased, and we've even used snack time as a way to build community—sharing, talking, and connecting over a healthy bite. For some, it's more than just food—it's a reminder that someone out there believes in them.\r\n\r\nThank you for seeing the value in meeting this basic but essential need. Your generosity has done more than fill stomachs—it's helped fill our classroom with focus, joy, and a sense of support that every child deserves.","fullyFundedDate":1757713081679,"projectUrl":"project/snacks-for-hungry-minds/9608370/","projectTitle":"Snacks for Hungry Minds","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Beltran","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp9525164_orig.jpg?crop=1:1,smart&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1714607622908","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9525164"},{"teacherId":3223643,"projectId":9152276,"letterContent":"Thank you so much for funding our project!
