Many of my students come from low-socioeconomic backgrounds, and hunger can often be a real barrier to their concentration and confidence. Having these snacks available has made a tremendous difference — they can now engage more fully in lessons, participate actively in discussions, and truly enjoy learning without the distraction of an empty stomach.\r\n\r\nThe day the snacks arrived, my students' faces lit up with excitement and gratitude. Several of them immediately asked if they could help set up the snack station in our classroom. It was a simple but powerful moment — they felt seen, cared for, and supported by people who believe in their potential. Since then, the snacks have become part of our daily routine, giving students that extra boost to stay motivated during reading groups, math rotations, and project-based learning activities.\r\n\r\nAs we move into our new math unit on measurement, my students are bringing that same energy and focus into their learning. They're using rulers, yard sticks, and scales to explore real-world math concepts, and it's wonderful to see how much more engaged they are now that their basic needs are met. Having access to snacks has helped them stay alert and eager to participate in hands-on activities, like measuring classroom objects or comparing snack sizes as part of our lessons. Your generosity has truly fueled both their minds and their curiosity, allowing them to experience learning in a meaningful, joyful way.","fullyFundedDate":1758636439486,"projectUrl":"project/helping-hungry-minds-stay-focused/9630150/","projectTitle":"Helping Hungry Minds Stay Focused","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Livingston","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/272x272/tp98552_272x272.jpg?width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1501905096202","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/98552"},{"teacherId":9034516,"projectId":9352026,"letterContent":"Thank you so much for your generosity and support of our classroom project.
