Because of you, our classroom is a more positive, motivating, and welcoming place for students every single day. Your donations provided much-needed classroom rewards in the form of snacks, which play a powerful role in supporting our students with autism as they work toward academic, behavioral, and social goals.\r\nThese snacks are more than just treats—they are tools that help students stay focused, manage transitions, and practice self-regulation. Many of our students respond best to immediate, meaningful reinforcement, and having a variety of preferred snacks allows us to meet individual needs. We have already seen increased engagement, calmer transitions, and proud smiles as students earn rewards through hard work and positive choices.\r\nYour support also helps build trust and connection. Students feel encouraged, valued, and excited to participate in learning when they know their efforts matter. Moments like a student independently completing a task or successfully transitioning without frustration are victories made possible by your kindness.\r\nOn behalf of my students and myself, thank you for believing in our classroom. Your generosity truly makes a difference and helps create a safe, supportive environment where every student can grow, succeed, and shine.","fullyFundedDate":1746785516597,"projectUrl":"project/little-essentials-big-impact/9329068/","projectTitle":"Little Essentials, Big impact.","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Camacho","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-6_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9525190"},{"teacherId":9525190,"projectId":8970792,"letterContent":"Thanks to this project, my students are using the new snacks as positive classroom rewards to encourage focus, participation, and self-regulation.

One special moment was seeing a student who struggles with transitions calmly move to the next activity because they were motivated by earning their preferred snack.\r\nWhen the students first saw the snacks, their faces lit up with excitement. Many immediately recognized their favorites and were eager to work toward earning them. The snacks have helped create a calm, motivating, and supportive learning environment.\r\nNext, students will continue working on academic and social-emotional goals, using the reward system to build independence, communication skills, and confidence in the classroom.","fullyFundedDate":1741179575850,"projectUrl":"project/classroom-rewards/8970792/","projectTitle":"Classroom Rewards","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Camacho","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-6_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9525190"},{"teacherId":9370363,"projectId":9393434,"letterContent":"A Note of Gratitude from Our Classroom\r\n\r\n\r\nI am writing to express my deepest thanks for your incredible generosity.
