My students are always excited to choose their afternoon snack — it has quickly become one of their favorite parts of the day. This simple routine brings them joy and helps build independence as they make their own selections.\r\n\r\nFor many of my students, the snacks you've provided are an important part of their day. Some children rely on these snacks because they may not always have one from home. Knowing that there will always be something tasty and nourishing available helps them feel cared for and ready to learn.\r\n\r\nThese snacks truly make a difference in our classroom. After enjoying them, students are more focused, calm, and ready to tackle their after-school activities. Your kindness helps fuel their learning — both literally and figuratively! Thank you again for supporting my young learners and helping them grow.","fullyFundedDate":1756135223944,"projectUrl":"project/snack-time/9508479/","projectTitle":"Snack Time","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Cullens","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp3633057_orig.jpg?crop=1:1,smart&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1753125838868","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/3633057"},{"teacherId":3633057,"projectId":9516984,"letterContent":"Thank you so much for your generous contributions to our classroom project!

Whether we're working on reading skills, math problem-solving, or hands-on activities, or one-on-one assessments or support, the new seating helps create a focused and inviting environment where every student feels included.\r\n\r\nYour kindness and investment in our classroom truly make an impact.

THe LCD tablets are being used daily in small group to help students learn to spell and write their names as well as, many other letters and draw pictures.\r\n\r\nThe magnetic tiles is a big help for my students. They are really helpful for my autistic students to be able to build and stack. My students are using their imagination building and relating to items in the classroom. The waffle blocks are being used for stem building as well as for free play time. The prize toys have really brought a smile to my students face when they go to the prize box and see that they have a variety of choices to pick from.\r\n\r\nThe teacher storage clip boards are awesome. We are able to walk around the room to collect data and store our papers for later use. You are all are awesome. I can't express how grateful I am for your support. I believe it takes a village to teach a child.

They are a big hit and the children absolutely love to use them. \r\nIt is wonderful to watch them interact with each other as they play the game. The collaboration and teamwork is amazing. This activity is providing so many different forms of learning from cooperative learning to peer teaching. One child in particular who struggles in reading has really begun to excel with the magic wands and alphabet letters. The confidence she has gained is remarkable by just being able to help her classmates. This experience alone has been a true blessing. I cannot thank you enough for providing this opportunity for her. Every teacher lives for the moment they see a spark for learning in a child and you have made this possible. \r\nThis activity has provided my class with many opportunities and experiences to work cooperatively as well as independently. This game helps the children meet so many of our kindergarten objectives in fun ways. The children do not even realize they are learning and doing class work. Even when the children have free time to choose any activity they want they usually choose the magic wand game. The benefits of this game will be seen for years to come. They help to establish a foundation in literacy that will follow these children through their school years as well as the impact on future kindergarten classes. For this I thank you from the bottom of my heart.\r\nThe snacks have also been a blessing to help the children when they are hungry or as a reward for working so hard. I can never fully express my thanks for what you have done for my children so I will just say THANK YOU one more time.

Since we eat lunch at 11:00, snacks are needed around 2:00 before students dismiss. Many of my students do not have snacks available at home. The paper towels are great to have on hand to clean up our messes.\r\n\r\nThe breathing ball has been a hit. We use it as a visual to calm down so we can focus and learn. Sometimes individual students use the ball if they are upset. Most of the other items I requested went home with students in their holiday gift bags. Each student got a hat and gloves. We've had many cold days and several inclement weather days so I know they came in handy. The coloring books, slime, card games, fidget spinners and tic-tac-toe boards were also included.
