I've paired snack availability with focused work periods, small-group instruction, and independent practice. One meaningful moment that stands out was during a review station rotation: students who usually struggle to stay focused were able to remain engaged through the entire period after having a protein bar or shake. The snacks removed a barrier and allowed them to fully participate in learning.\r\n\r\nThe students were excited and extremely grateful. Many expressed surprise that someone cared enough to provide them with snacks, and several immediately asked when they could have one. It created a very positive, supportive atmosphere in the classroom and helped students feel seen and valued. The variety—especially the fruit gummies, popcorn, and beef sticks—made the experience feel special rather than routine.\r\n\r\nRight now, students are continuing to build skills through collaborative projects and targeted practice activities. The next steps include small-group work focused on strengthening core academic skills and preparing for upcoming assessments. With the support of these snacks, students can stay energized and focused during longer work sessions, which will allow for deeper engagement, improved stamina, and stronger overall performance.","fullyFundedDate":1763996402211,"projectUrl":"project/fill-the-snack-gap/9865346/","projectTitle":"Fill the Snack Gap","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Johnson","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp561714_orig.jpg?crop=596,596,x87,y313&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1705506901147","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/561714"},{"teacherId":561714,"projectId":9413395,"letterContent":"The new cleaning and care supplies have become a daily part of our classroom routine and have truly transformed how we maintain our learning environment.

Your support is making a profound impact on my students' learning and engagement with fundamental geometric concepts.\r\n\r\nWe have already begun using the Connetix tiles in our classroom, and the results are encouraging. One of our recent projects involved students creating various geometric structures using the tiles. They worked collaboratively to design intricate patterns and pyramids, which allowed them to explore shapes, angles, and dimensions in a hands-on manner. This not only deepened their understanding of geometry but also sparked their creativity and critical thinking.\r\n\r\nWhen the students first saw the materials, their faces lit up with excitement! They were eager to dive in and start building, and it was rewarding to see their enthusiasm as they manipulated the tiles to create their own designs. This interactive experience has truly transformed their approach to learning.\r\n\r\nLooking ahead, our next steps involve integrating these materials into our current lessons on spatial reasoning and problem-solving. We plan to explore more complex geometric principles and challenge the students to solve real-world problems using the tiles. I am confident that this will further enhance their understanding and foster a love for STEM subjects.\r\n\r\nThank you once again for your generous support.
