Many of these students rely on incentives like these to stay motivated during long, challenging study sessions. The snacks help them:\r\n\r\nStay energized and focused during extended STAAR review periods\r\nFeel valued and motivated through tangible recognition of their effort\r\nBuild positive associations with studying and academic achievement\r\nMaintain confidence as they prepare for high-stakes testing\r\n\r\nBeyond the nutritional boost, these snacks represent something deeper: proof that their community believes in them and is invested in their success. For students facing economic challenges, knowing that strangers care enough to support their education can be powerful motivation.","fullyFundedDate":1743694323660,"projectUrl":"project/snacking-our-way-into-staar/9112439/","projectTitle":"Snacking Our Way Into STAAR","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Millan","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp7549412_orig.jpg?crop=1595,1595,x1040,y566&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1628694391104","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/7549412"},{"teacherId":9033722,"projectId":9269020,"letterContent":"All of my students have been taken advantage of the items you have provided for us.

Based on the picture, you can tell that children can sit on tables or the floor. The children use materials and place them on rugs. Children clean the material and place it back on the shelves. The shelves are organized based on the core content areas of reading, writing, Montessori grammar, math, and cultural topics.
