Many immediately gravitated toward the new seating, saying how much they loved the \"coffee shop vibe\" and how it made them feel more grown up and engaged in our discussions. The snacks quickly became an essential part of our routine, helping students stay energized, focused, and ready to tackle challenging reading and writing tasks.\r\n\r\nOne special moment came during our narrative writing workshop. Several students chose to gather around the new table, and what began as individual brainstorming turned into a collaborative circle of support. They bounced ideas off one another, shared feedback, and even encouraged peers who were hesitant to write. The combination of comfortable seating and accessible snacks created a space where students felt at ease to take risks and dig deeper into their writing.\r\n\r\nRight now, we are working on a unit that explores identity in African American literature, and the resources you provided continue to enhance our classroom community. The table and stools have become a hub for small-group discussions and peer editing, while snacks help sustain energy during longer reading sessions. Your generosity didn't just bring us supplies, it transformed our classroom into a welcoming, motivating space where students feel valued and ready to learn.\r\n\r\nNext, my students will be moving into narrative writing projects where they connect literature to their own experiences. Thanks to you, they'll be able to do this work in a space that encourages collaboration, focus, and creativity. We are so grateful for your support, it has truly made a lasting impact on our learning environment.","fullyFundedDate":1746787084854,"projectUrl":"project/creating-comfort-creativity-a-space-f/9249183/","projectTitle":"Creating Comfort & Creativity: a Space for Senior Voices","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Berayah Johnson","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-10_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/7084199"},{"teacherId":3425889,"projectId":6626355,"letterContent":"Thank you so much for your generous donation through DonorsChoose!

I am beyond grateful for the support of my classroom and so are my students! Their faces lit up! Many couldn't believe that so much had been donated just for them. There were cheers, laughter, and so many thank-yous. Several students commented that it felt like someone really cared about their learning experience, which was a powerful and heartwarming reaction to witness.\r\n\r\nThe donated snacks and drinks have quickly become a vital part of our classroom environment. We've used them to create a \"Fuel Station\" that students can access during long work sessions or after completing challenging assignments. One particularly special moment was during our literature circles—students were deep in conversation about character motivation and theme, and having snacks available kept energy and focus high. It's amazing how a small treat can help build community and boost engagement during discussions!\r\n\r\nRight now, we're in the midst of a unit on identity and voice, where students are analyzing poems, speeches, and short stories by African American authors. The next step is for each student to create a multimodal project—some are writing spoken word pieces, others are making digital presentations or visual art. The snacks help fuel their creativity during brainstorming sessions, writing workshops, and peer reviews. These resources are truly supporting both their academic growth and emotional well-being.","fullyFundedDate":1734564832903,"projectUrl":"project/feeding-the-future/8719426/","projectTitle":"Feeding the Future!","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Berayah Johnson","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-10_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/7084199"},{"teacherId":8952735,"projectId":8628851,"letterContent":"Thank you from the bottom of my heart for fulfilling my wish list.
