This has allowed my students to see the world has more similarities than they had previously thought. Additionally, they have been impressed with Trevor Noah's voice, determination, and humor in spite of the circumstances he grew up in--showing them that anything can be possible if you want it to be. \r\nWe have spent time reading the book together and holding discussions about what is happening, in small groups so they can speak more freely about how they feel or ask questions they are nervous to ask in front of others, and individually so they can have a more intimate reaction to chapters.\r\nFor a few of them, this is the first non-fiction or memoir they have read. It has opened their eyes to connecting to another person through literature. Others have seen this as an opportunity to learn about how they can grow as readers and writers.","fullyFundedDate":1755096654143,"projectUrl":"project/inspiring-memoirs/9576540/","projectTitle":"Inspiring Memoirs","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Wilson","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-6_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/3686350"},{"teacherId":9920890,"projectId":9882227,"letterContent":"My heart is overflowing with gratitude!

I have witnessed a palpable shift in my students' energy—they are now more active in class participation and significantly more engaged in all classroom activities. Their genuine enthusiasm and excitement when they see the treats is infectious and lights up the room.\r\n\r\nThe impact has even extended beyond my current class! I was touched that even my former learners from last year kept stopping by just to say \"Hello\" and reconnect. Of course, I was happy to share some of the simple treats with them too!\r\n\r\nYou helped us conquer those challenging moments in the school day—the \"unholy hours\" before and immediately following lunch. Providing a healthy snack during those times has prevented hunger-related dips in concentration, allowing my students to remain focused and productive. You can read from their messages how genuinely thankful they were to receive this simple yet critical support.\r\n\r\nThank you, from the bottom of my heart, for believing in this project and for investing directly in my students' success and well-being.

Providing snacks during Benchmark Tests for Reading and Writing and all Diagnostic Formative Assessments (DFAs) helped alleviate testing anxiety and maintain focus, visibly impacting their endurance and effort. Furthermore, offering treats during tutoring sessions has significantly increased attendance and reduced tardiness, fostering a consistent learning environment.\r\n\r\nThe most transformative element was integrating your donation into our classroom engagement. Incorporating competitive learning games like Kahoot! and Blooket and awarding the donated prizes to the top 10 ranked students created an atmosphere of pure excitement. I witnessed a level of focus, participation, and sheer delight I had never seen before. These prizes turned rigorous academic review into a thrilling, rewarding experience.\r\n\r\nThank you for being instrumental in creating a classroom where students are not just attending, but are genuinely excited and motivated to achieve their best.

Many of them had never used an iPad for science before, so it immediately felt like a special tool just for them.\r\n\r\nWe've been using the iPad during interactive science lessons, virtual labs, and simulations that help students visualize concepts they once struggled to imagine—like atomic structure, chemical reactions, and the movement of tectonic plates. They especially love using it to take photos and videos during hands-on experiments, then explain their findings in short clips. It has truly made science come alive and more accessible for everyone in the class.\r\n\r\nBecause of your generosity, my students are now more engaged and confident in their learning. The iPad has opened up opportunities for exploration, creativity, and collaboration that we couldn't have before.

It was such a joyful reminder of how even small gestures of recognition can make a big difference in their motivation and attitude toward learning.\r\n\r\nNow, we use our Motivation Station every day. Students earn their special pencils or praise cards for showing kindness, completing assignments, and helping others. Our classroom \"pet\" mascots have become symbols of teamwork—students love caring for them and take pride in earning the chance to bring one to their desk for the day. These tools have completely transformed our classroom energy. I see more smiles, more effort, and more encouragement among classmates.\r\n\r\nThanks to your generosity, our classroom feels like a community where success is celebrated in every form.

Students are imagining where the cushions will go, which books they'll read first, and how it'll feel to listen to stories together as a class. You made that possible.\r\n\r\nThis isn't just about stuff. It's about showing students that reading matters, that their experience matters, and that people—strangers, even—believe in their potential.
