It's their favorite.\r\n\r\nThe iPad can save their annotations, and I can post it on our Google Classroom page so they can review the material at home.

Your kindness not only provides a practical resource for our classroom, but also demonstrates to students that their well-being matters to a caring community.\r\n\r\nHealthy snacks play an important role in student success. When students have access to fresh fruits, yogurt, cheese sticks, and other nourishing foods, they are better able to concentrate, participate, and maintain steady energy levels during lessons and activities. Proper nutrition supports both physical health and academic performance, helping students build healthy habits that can last a lifetime. Your thoughtful contribution helps create a supportive learning environment where students can thrive, and we are deeply grateful for your generosity and investment in their future.","fullyFundedDate":1777954524231,"projectUrl":"project/cool-resources-bright-futures/10197051/","projectTitle":"Cool Resources, Bright Futures","teacherDisplayName":"Mr. Mavaro","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/272x272/tp4183096_272x272.jpg?width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1483397638651","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/4183096"},{"teacherId":6042271,"projectId":10131168,"letterContent":"My students deserve to have all these basic supplies so they can be fully succeed.

It is one thing to look at a small image in a textbook, but it is another thing entirely to have the world spread out before you in vibrant detail.\r\n\r\nThe World at Their Fingertips\r\nWe have been using the placemat maps as daily \"discovery hubs.\" During independent study and group rotations, students use them to trace routes, locate landmarks, and visualize the scale of the countries we are studying.\r\n\r\nOne specific moment stands out: during a lesson on global trade, a group of students started using their placemats to \"ship\" imaginary goods from one continent to another. One student realized just how far a cargo ship has to travel to get a toy from Asia to our hometown, exclaiming, \"I didn't realize the ocean was that big compared to us!\" Having that physical reference right at their desks turned an abstract concept into a tangible reality.\r\n\r\nFirst Impressions\r\nWhen I first hung the tapestry maps and handed out the placemats, the room was buzzing. The students were immediately drawn to the tapestries, running their fingers over the borders and pointing out places they'd heard of in the news or seen in movies. They were thrilled that the maps weren't just \"decorations\" but tools they were actually allowed to touch and use. One student remarked, \"It feels like we're in a real explorer's headquarters now!\"\r\n\r\nMapping Our Future\r\nThe momentum hasn't stopped. Now that we have these visual anchors, our next steps involve a \"Cultural Passport\" project:\r\n\r\nThe Task: Each student will \"adopt\" a country they found on their map.\r\n\r\nThe Goal: They will research that country's geography and climate, using the maps to see who their neighbors are and what geographical features (like mountains or rivers) shape their lives.\r\n\r\nThe Result: We will use the large tapestry maps to pin \"fact flags\" created by the students, turning our classroom into an interactive museum of global knowledge.\r\n\r\nYour support has given my students a literal world of possibilities. Thank you for helping them see far beyond the walls of our class.","fullyFundedDate":1774971315951,"projectUrl":"project/maps-and-maps/10156388/","projectTitle":"Maps and Maps","teacherDisplayName":"Mr. DeSena","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp10459789_orig.jpg?crop=1:1,smart&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1773197277793","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/10459789"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_895","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":1205,"numTeachers":124,"percentFrplEligible":89,"percentAsian":37,"percentBlack":1,"percentWhite":2,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":58,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","percentHawaiianImputed":0,"percentMultiracialImputed":0,"gradesServed":"6 - 8","studentTeacherRatio":"9.7:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"URBAN","ncesMetroType":"CITY_LARGE"},"inStateSupporters":39.7,"schoolId":895,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Intermediate School 5 Walter H Crowley on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Intermediate School 5 Walter H Crowley","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/new-york/new-york-city-dept-of-ed/is-5-walter-h-crowley/895"}
