We still have some breakfast bars and applesauce pouches, but the popcorn has been long gone and restocked. It was definitely a favorite! \r\n\r\nThe chairs are comfortable and definitely a preferred place for practicing reading. The students often ask to sit there during regular class time which I allow them to do occasionally as long as they are attentive. \r\n\r\nYour thoughtful giving has helped my classroom be more of a safe, calm space for students to enjoy learning, and I truly appreciate your generosity. \r\n\r\nIn the heart language of my students: gracias, shukran, asante, merci, urakozi.

The snacks and drinks instantly made our classroom feel more welcoming, and the new school supplies helped everyone feel prepared and ready to learn.\r\n\r\nOne of my favorite moments was watching students settle in with their notebooks and pencils during our writing time, happily snacking while they worked. It created such a positive and focused atmosphere. Having food available has really helped students stay energized and comfortable, especially during our longer lessons.\r\n\r\nThese resources have made a big difference in our classroom. Students are more engaged and motivated, and it's amazing to see how something as simple as a snack or fresh supplies can lift their spirits. Next, we're using the materials to support our upcoming group projects, and I know they'll keep helping students feel cared for and ready to do their best.\r\n\r\nThank you so much for supporting our class and for giving my students what they need to learn and feel good at school.","fullyFundedDate":1740512514895,"projectUrl":"project/brain-fuel-for-english-learners/9059629/","projectTitle":"Brain Fuel for English Learners","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Palmer","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/272x272/tp2066250_272x272.jpg?width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1534270420510","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/palmerplace"},{"teacherId":8326780,"projectId":8527573,"letterContent":"Thank you so much for your generosity!

Not only does this give our own students the age appropriate skill, it allows some of our general education students to gain an understanding of our students, and their unique needs.\r\n\r\nWe have numerous students in the class who have loved being in photos and looking back at their little photo album.
