Students were amazed to see their work come to life in color, and it has already made a huge difference in how proud they feel of what they create. Receiving awards, certificates, and positive notes printed in color has made these moments feel even more special and motivating for them. Something as simple as a colorful certificate now feels like a true celebration of their hard work.\r\n\r\nBeyond awards, students are thrilled to be able to print projects they design themselves. Whether it's writing pieces, drawings, graphs, or creative assignments, having access to color printing allows them to fully express their ideas and personalities. It has encouraged creativity, attention to detail, and excitement about learning.

The snacks also serve as a comforting tool when students feel frustrated or overwhelmed, giving them a brief moment to reset and regulate their emotions so they can re-engage with the lesson.\r\n\r\nWhen students first saw the new snacks, their excitement was immediate! They were thrilled to have a treat available and quickly learned to use them responsibly as part of their learning routine. Many students shared how the snacks made them feel \"safe\" and \"supported,\" and it was incredible to see how something so simple could positively impact their focus, behavior, and confidence.\r\n\r\nNext, we are continuing to integrate the snacks into our lessons as a tool for emotional regulation and positive reinforcement. For example, students will earn snacks for participating in sequencing activities, completing writing tasks, and demonstrating effort in math problems. These small rewards help students feel recognized for their hard work, encouraging independence, engagement, and a positive attitude toward learning.","fullyFundedDate":1765682840738,"projectUrl":"project/full-bellies-ready-learners/9957671/","projectTitle":"Full Bellies, Ready Learners","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Montgomery","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp10317870_orig.jpg?crop=1:1,smart&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1765568067016","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/10317870"},{"teacherId":5691841,"projectId":9923210,"letterContent":"Thank you so much for your generous support in funding snacks for our classroom.

With your support, we were able to provide nutritious snacks for the entire class. Almost immediately, I noticed a change: students were more focused, alert, and able to participate wholeheartedly in daily activities. Gone were the distracting hunger pangs — instead, they came ready to learn, play, and engage with their friends and their work.\r\n\r\nSnack time has also turned into a special moment of community and growth.
