Many students arrive at school hungry, which can make it difficult for them to focus and fully engage in learning. Having consistent access to snacks helps meet a basic need so students can better attend to instruction and classroom activities.\r\n\r\nThe availability of snacks has also improved student behavior and emotional regulation. When students are not distracted by hunger, there are fewer disruptions, increased patience, and more positive peer interactions. This has been especially important during longer instructional blocks and testing periods. My students were so surprised and happy to see that we now have snacks available when they are in need of something quick to eat! \r\n\r\nOverall, the snack program has helped create a more supportive and equitable learning environment. Students feel cared for and supported, which strengthens classroom relationships and builds a sense of community. We are grateful for the generosity of our donors, as their support directly contributes to student success each day.","fullyFundedDate":1756748252674,"projectUrl":"project/classroom-snacks-help-provide-comfort-to/9641937/","projectTitle":"Classroom Snacks Help Provide Comfort to Promote Learning","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Folkers","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp3572335_orig.jpg?crop=2316,2316,x0,y0&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1652141408858","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/3572335"},{"teacherId":3572335,"projectId":8589798,"letterContent":"My students were so excited to see all the snacks provided for them.
