We use the snacks as positive reinforcement during lessons, transitions, and moments when students show perseverance, kindness, or effort. On days when students arrive hungry after missing breakfast, a simple cereal bar or snack helps them refocus and feel ready to learn. One moment that stood out was seeing a student who often struggles with attention proudly complete a task, knowing a small reward was waiting—his smile said it all.\r\n\r\nWhen the students first saw the snacks, their excitement was immediate. They felt cared for and valued, and that feeling carried into their work. For my special education learners, these treats are more than just snacks—they are encouragement, comfort, and a reminder that their hard work matters. The snacks help create a positive classroom environment where students feel safe, supported, and motivated to try their best.\r\n\r\nAs we continue our classroom lessons, these resources will remain an important tool in helping students stay engaged and regulated throughout the day. Whether used as an incentive for completing academic goals or as support during challenging moments, snack time allows students to focus on learning instead of hunger. Your support has made a lasting impact on both their learning and their confidence, and I am truly grateful for the care you've shown my students.","fullyFundedDate":1763995235617,"projectUrl":"project/snack-time/9703108/","projectTitle":"Snack Time","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Siddique","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp9270135_orig.jpg?crop=1:1,smart&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1704857995340","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/mrs-siddique"},{"teacherId":7099555,"projectId":9878923,"letterContent":"Many of my students have the bare minimum, and these extra treats, snacks and water bottles for hard work and reading give them the incentive they need to be successful.\r\n\r\nMany of my students are ENL and SWD.

Seeing their writing treated as something worth protecting has boosted their confidence and motivation as learners.\r\n\r\nIn addition, laminating graphic organizers has completely transformed how students use them. They are protected from ripping and wear, and students can write on them with dry-erase markers, erase, and reuse them for ongoing practice and reference.
