Your generosity has made a real, daily impact on my students learning and well-being.\r\n\r\nThe snacks you provided are used constantly and thoughtfully. Items like Cheese-Its are especially helpful when students arrive late and miss breakfast, or when I know a student needs an extra snack to take home. Having these options available allows me to meet students basic needs right away so they can focus on learning instead of hunger.\r\n\r\nAnimal crackers have become what we proudly call our \"brain snacks.\" When students are working hard, staying focused, or pushing through challenging tasks, earning a brain snack is a small but powerful motivator. Lollipops have also been a great incentive for students to complete their homework, helping boost responsibility and follow-through in a positive way.\r\n\r\nMost importantly, these snacks help support students who are experiencing food insecurity. Knowing I can quietly offer food without drawing attention has helped create a classroom environment where students feel safe, supported, and ready to learn.\r\n\r\nThank you again for believing in my students and investing in their success. Your kindness has increased motivation, improved focus, and helped ensure that no child in our classroom has to learn while hungry.","fullyFundedDate":1763995214017,"projectUrl":"project/fueling-little-learners-snacks-to-keep/9857080/","projectTitle":"Fueling Little Learners: Snacks to Keep Our Minds Growing!","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. E","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp9876400_orig.jpg?crop=878,878,x0,y146&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1734473179278","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9876400"},{"teacherId":6534622,"projectId":9666713,"letterContent":"Your donations to our classroom have helped make this school year a great success. Our goal for students is to achieve meaningful growth both academically and in their social-emotional development, and your generosity has played a vital role in making that possible. The resources you provided have filled important gaps and allowed us to offer experiences we would not have been able to provide otherwise.\r\n\r\nMy students absolutely love using the phonics games to reinforce the reading skills we've been learning. They were also thrilled to receive the new, comfortable headphones for their laptops, which have made their learning time more enjoyable and focused.\r\n\r\nMany families in our school community face financial challenges, with some students living in shelters or receiving assistance. At times, a simple snack can make a big difference for a hungry child. Your kindness and support have helped us meet these needs and create a more nurturing environment for every student.\r\n\r\nOur class is deeply grateful for your donations and prayers this year.

It was fun to see them explore the items and talk about how they planned to use them. Gifts like Play-Doh and pencils give students simple, practical learning materials they can use at home to practice fine motor skills, writing, and creativity.\r\n\r\nFor many families, having extra school supplies at home can make a big difference. These gifts helped ensure students had access to tools they can actually use, not just during the holidays but throughout the school year.\r\n\r\nThank you again for investing in my students and helping make learning accessible and enjoyable for them.","fullyFundedDate":1764680611768,"projectUrl":"project/a-small-holiday-gift-for-students-who-ne/9929353/","projectTitle":"A Small Holiday Gift for Students Who Need It Most","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. E","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp9876400_orig.jpg?crop=878,878,x0,y146&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1734473179278","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9876400"},{"teacherId":10064683,"projectId":9435167,"letterContent":"Thank you so much for your generous contribution to my classroom this year.

The headphones allow each student to independently engage with personalized instruction at their own pace. Every student can concentrate and participate fully with their work. \r\n\r\nIn the photos, you will see the headphones, which arrived quickly and in time for the start of the year. The students have easy access to their own set, and since I took the photos, the headphones have been numbered so each scholar knows where their set is.

Storage bins keep sensory and literacy centers organized, and disinfecting supplies help us reset stations quickly for the next group.

The lamination paper helped preserve important learning materials, making them reusable and durable for hands-on learning. These supplies may seem simple, but they became essential tools that supported both teaching and learning every day.\r\n\r\nThe students were genuinely thrilled by these additions to their classroom.
