Snack time has become a special part of our day because it gives my students a chance to practice important skills in a simple and fun way. They practice choosing their own snacks, following directions, asking for what they want, using good manners, and becoming more independent. I love seeing how excited they get when they know it is snack time. They enjoy looking at the different choices and deciding what they would like to eat. Snack time also gives us a chance to talk, share, and practice communication skills. Even though it may seem like a small activity, it gives my students many opportunities to learn skills they can use every day. It also helps them feel comfortable, happy, and ready to learn.\r\n\r\nWhen my students first saw the healthy snacks, they were very excited and curious. Some students wanted to choose a snack right away, while others took their time looking at all the choices. I was happy to see some of my students willing to try foods they had never tried before. For students who are sometimes hesitant to try new things, this was a very special moment. They were proud when they tried something new and enjoyed telling us what they liked. Seeing their smiles and excitement made me realize how much a simple snack can mean to a child. The healthy snacks have given my students something to look forward to while also helping them learn about making healthy choices. I am thankful for this opportunity because it has brought joy to my students and has made our time in the resource room even more meaningful.","fullyFundedDate":1778227225696,"projectUrl":"project/fueling-learning-with-healthy-snacks/10087448/","projectTitle":"Fueling Learning With Healthy Snacks","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Rabanes","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-8_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/10430235"},{"teacherId":10296349,"projectId":9852205,"letterContent":"I was notified by Donors Choose that the project I created was funded and to be delivered on January 26, 2026.

Your generosity has made a profound impact on our 14 Lakota students. The laminator, noise-cancelling earmuffs, building blocks, bear counters, magic sponge cleaning erasers, visual timer, chair bands, and alphabet play doh cutters have transformed our learning space.\r\n\r\nThe laminator has allowed us to create durable, interactive materials that bring our lessons to life. Students love using the alphabet play doh cutters to practice their Lakota language skills and alphabet knowledge. The noise-cancelling earmuffs have been a game-changer for students who need extra support with focus – they've created a quiet, calm atmosphere, allowing students to concentrate and learn. One student, in particular, has thrived with the earmuffs, becoming more confident in their ability to participate in group activities.\r\n\r\nThe building blocks and bear counters have fostered creativity and collaboration. Students design and build structures, practicing math concepts and problem-solving skills. The visual timer has helped us stay on track and understand time concepts, making transitions smoother and more manageable. We're excited to use the magic sponge cleaning erasers to teach responsibility and cleanliness. Chair bands have added a fun touch, allowing students to move and engage while learning.\r\n\r\nYour donation has shown our students that their community cares about their education and well-being.
