The impact has been immediate—having healthy snacks available helps students stay focused, energized, and ready to learn throughout the day. For many students, these snacks provide not only physical sustenance but also a sense of care and support from our school community.\r\n\r\nWe are using the snacks in a variety of ways in the classroom. During morning work and independent learning time, students enjoy a quick, healthy snack to fuel their brains. We also use the snacks as part of classroom projects, such as math lessons where students count, sort, and graph their snack items, or as a reward for teamwork and participation in reading and writing activities. When the students first saw the snack donation, their excitement and gratitude were palpable—they were eager to share, try new foods, and even help distribute the snacks to classmates.","fullyFundedDate":1768685055081,"projectUrl":"project/snacks-to-keep-our-students-fueled-and-f/10028868/","projectTitle":"Snacks to Keep Our Students Fueled and Focused!","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Burdick","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-1_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9333101"},{"teacherId":9265246,"projectId":10027922,"letterContent":"Thank you so much for your generous support of our library snack project!

My students were SO EXCITED when they saw the bright, colorful caddies on our tables! They immediately noticed them and had to get their hands on everything. They love the little laptop erasers the most. They pull them apart and put them together throughout class. It's almost like a fidget. It has been one less thing for them to worry about when we start class. Everything they need is right there at their fingertips. They don't have to get up to get scissors, glue, or colored pencils. Everything is there at their fingertips on their tables. The caddies have also evolved in each of my rooms. My middle schoolers have since added colored pencils to the caddies so they are ready to go when we need color in our diagrams. My primary classroom has added dry erase markers and erasers to their caddies. I have whiteboard tables in that room and support personnel push into that room to work with small groups. They have everything they need to work out math problems on their tables. The clorox wipes are handy to help clean those tables since that room doesn't have a sink.\r\n\r\nIt's been a great addition to the classroom and has added teaching time by taking out the time it takes to get all the little things ready to get class started.\r\n\r\nThank you for your continued support, it's greatly appreciated.","fullyFundedDate":1763603154909,"projectUrl":"project/colorful-and-stocked-pencil-caddies-help/9780515/","projectTitle":"Colorful and Stocked Pencil Caddies Help with Student Organization","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Simmons","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp8114962_orig.jpg?crop=1:1,smart&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1721875021923","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/8114962"},{"teacherId":8114962,"projectId":9848944,"letterContent":"Slime is always a huge hit with kids of all ages.

They learned how important it is to follow directions exactly as they are stated, otherwise things don't always work out as planned.
