When the students first saw the crates of nutritious snacks arrive, there was a collective cheer, and more than a few relieved smiles. One of my students, who usually drags their feet during the final hour of the day, looked at a Welch and asked, \"Is this for my brain power?\" It was a lighthearted moment, but it hit on a deep truth: it's nearly impossible to focus on complex math or phonics when your stomach is growling. These snacks have provided the literal fuel needed to turn that \"after-school slump\" into a second wind of productivity.\r\n\r\nHaving these resources has allowed us to turn snack time into a strategic \"brain break\" before we tackle our extra-mile learning goals. For example, during our intensive reading interventions, we now start with a \"Snack and Chat\" where students fuel up while we discuss the themes of our story in a relaxed setting. I've noticed a significant spike in stamina; students who used to check the clock every five minutes are now staying engaged through the entire session because they aren't distracted by hunger. It has transformed tutoring from something they \"have\" to do into a supportive environment where they feel taken care of.\r\n\r\nLooking ahead, our next big goal is to channel this newfound energy into a digital learning project. Now that the kids have the physical stamina to stay focused after the bell rings, I want to provide them with iPads to access interactive reading and math programs. With a full stomach and the right technology, they'll be able to work through personalized lessons that meet them exactly where they are. Your generosity has already solved the hunger gap; now, we are excited to use that momentum to bridge the learning gap through tools that make practicing math and literacy feel like a reward rather than a chore.","fullyFundedDate":1766191424252,"projectUrl":"project/fueling-minds-providing-nutritious-snac/9635921/","projectTitle":"Fueling Minds: Providing Nutritious Snacks to Fight School Hunger","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Lovee Gumera","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp9164687_orig.png?crop=542,542,x0,y0&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1709585739534","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9164687"},{"teacherId":9164687,"projectId":9750857,"letterContent":"The \"Bringing Art and Music to Our Classroom\" project has officially turned our room into the coolest spot on campus. When the kids first saw the electric guitar and the amp, their jaws literally dropped, they couldn't believe a \"real\" instrument was staying in our room. The excitement was electric. We've been using the guitar to signal transitions and practice rhythm; the kids love feeling the vibration of the strings while we count out beats together. It has turned our morning rug time into a high-energy jam session that gets everyone focused and ready to learn.\r\n\r\nOn the art side, these high-quality canvases and acrylic paints have made my students feel like \"real\" artists. Just last week, we had a blast experimenting with balloon acrylic painting. The students loved the \"pop\" of color as they pressed inflated balloons into the thick acrylics and stamped them onto their canvases to create beautiful, marbled textures. You could see the pure focus on their faces as they bounced the balloons to mix colors, and the pride in their eyes when they realized their work wasn't just another drawing, but a textured, permanent piece of art.\r\n\r\nOur next step is \"Sound and Color\" project as they will be describing \"Ish\" feelings which combines music, art and emotions to describe it in their own way. We're moving from basic shapes to exploring how emotions and music can be captured through motion and color. Your generosity hasn't just given us supplies; it's given these kids a brand-new way to find their voices.","fullyFundedDate":1763609940027,"projectUrl":"project/bringing-art-and-music-to-our-classroom/9750857/","projectTitle":"Bringing Art and Music to Our Classroom","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Lovee Gumera","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp9164687_orig.png?crop=542,542,x0,y0&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1709585739534","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9164687"},{"teacherId":9312564,"projectId":9039630,"letterContent":"Thanks to your support, students are now exploring coding and engineering with the Micro:bit microcontroller, building small robots, programming their movements, and testing their ideas in real time.

Students are using the magnetic marble run sets to design and build their own tracks, testing how speed, height, angles, and obstacles affect how the marble moves. One memorable moment was when a group kept redesigning their track after each test, excitedly shouting every time the marble finally made it to the end. They were learning through trial, error, and teamwork — just like real engineers.\r\n\r\nWhen students first saw the materials, their eyes lit up. They were eager to explore, build, and experiment right away. Many asked if they could stay in during free time to keep improving their designs. The excitement quickly turned into focused problem-solving as they worked together to figure out how to make their tracks faster, longer, or more challenging.\r\n\r\nNext, students will connect their marble run designs to our science lessons on forces and motion. They will measure time and distance, compare results, and explain why certain designs work better than others. These activities are helping students build strong foundations in engineering thinking, collaboration, and persistence — skills that will benefit them far beyond this project.","fullyFundedDate":1739662021789,"projectUrl":"project/building-brains-magnetic-marble-run-for/9039831/","projectTitle":"Building Brains: Magnetic Marble Run for STEM Success","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. CHRISTINE","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp9312564_orig.jpg?crop=3727,3727,x0,y1342&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1736364943371","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9312564"},{"teacherId":9312564,"projectId":9150254,"letterContent":"Thanks to your support, students are now learning through hands-on experience with 3D printing.

Many of my students come to school eager to learn but quietly carrying hunger with them. Before your donations arrived, some struggled to focus, grew tired early in the day, or lost motivation halfway through our lessons. Now, because of you, they begin their day knowing that someone out there cares enough to make sure they can learn without a growling stomach.\r\n\r\nThe day the snacks arrived was unforgettable. My students gathered around the boxes, eyes wide with excitement and disbelief. Some of them whispered, \"Are these really for us?\" As they helped unpack and organize the supplies, their smiles were filled with gratitude. One student, who is usually very quiet, looked at me and said, \"Thank you for not forgetting about us.\" That simple sentence forever touched my heart. We now use the snacks during moments when thinking and focus are most needed — before quizzes, during extended writing, and in the middle of challenging lab activities.\r\n\r\nBecause of you, our classroom has become not just a place for learning, but a place of safety, kindness, and support. On a particularly long science lab day, I watched students who usually lose focus stay engaged, work together, solve problems, and even encourage one another. I heard laughter, collaboration, and determination — all fueled by the care you showed them. As we move into more hands-on science and engineering projects, your generosity continues to be felt every single day.
