When kids inevitably come to school with the sniffles, it is nice to have a supply of tissues, disinfectant spray, hand sanitizer, and Clorox wipes on hand and ready to go. Thank you for helping me with making sure I have these items in my classroom.\r\n\r\nYou see, a lot of times I end up paying for the sanitation items in my classroom from my personal funds and believe it or not, it adds up. Having these items helps lift the burden of me paying for it out of my own pocket when I do this in other instances as well for other things in my classroom. \r\n\r\nOne way that I have utilized the items that were donated to my class is specifically having desk cleaning contests every month. I give each kid a Clorox wipe and then say, \"Let's see who ends up with the dirtiest wipe! Whoever has the dirtiest wipe gets bragging rights!\" The kids actually love this cleaning activity and really clean their desks well. I could not do this as often without your generous support.

Food can be a great way for students to practice mindfulness and feel grounded in their environment. Additionally, there are many students who might not have access to snacks or food outside of school, and providing snacks in my office allows for students to have one of their most basic needs met so that they can feel more focused and present in school. \r\n\r\nYour donation really makes a difference, and I cannot thank you enough!","fullyFundedDate":1785788461503,"projectUrl":"project/food-for-thought-snacks-and-mental-heal/10423663/","projectTitle":"Food for Thought: Snacks and Mental Health (Round 4!)","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Nicole","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp6604701_orig.jpg?crop=960,960,x0,y0&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1660265567648","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/n-wilbur"},{"teacherId":8220825,"projectId":10406776,"letterContent":"Thank you so much for helping bring The One and Only Ivan into our classroom! I am incredibly grateful for your generosity and for giving my third-grade students the opportunity to experience such a meaningful story.\r\n\r\nWe recently finished reading Sadako and the Thousand Paper Cranes, and now we are excited to begin our next book study, The One and Only Ivan. I carefully selected this book because I wanted my students to explore important themes such as friendship, kindness, courage, and animal welfare. I believe books are a powerful way to help children understand the world around them and develop empathy for others.\r\n\r\nThroughout our book study, students will practice important reading skills such as making predictions, identifying character traits, drawing conclusions, and using text evidence to support their thinking. We will also have classroom discussions where students can share their opinions, ask questions, and make connections between the story and their own lives.\r\n\r\nWhat makes this book study even more exciting is that we are connecting it to our new desk pets classroom incentive system! Students will have the opportunity to earn, adopt, and care for their own desk pets while learning about responsibility and compassion. I love being able to connect the lessons from our reading to something students can experience in our classroom.\r\n\r\nYour donation has allowed me to provide my students with books that go beyond simply practicing reading skills. These stories help them become thoughtful, caring, and curious individuals. I am so excited to see the conversations, learning, and memories that will come from this book study.\r\n\r\nThank you again for investing in my students and helping me create meaningful reading experiences.
