Your thoughtful donations of snacks, sheet protectors, folders, magnetic neon lined sentence strips, magnet clips and other essential supplies have made a meaningful difference in the lives of my students. Every item you've given has helped create a more supportive, engaging, and nurturing learning environment.\r\n\r\nThe snacks you provided are especially appreciated, as many of my students come to school hungry. Having nutritious options readily available helps them stay focused, energized, and ready to learn. The magnetic neon sentence strips have been a wonderful tool for helping to differentiate instruction for my students and making learning more accessible to them. The folders and other classroom supplies ensure that every student can participate fully, stay organized, and feel prepared each day.\r\n\r\nYour kindness reminds us that we are not alone—there are people who believe in the power of education and care deeply about our keiki. From the bottom of our hearts, thank you for making such a lasting impact on our classroom community.","fullyFundedDate":1759503060974,"projectUrl":"project/clean-start-to-learning-ready-to-lead-t/9777910/","projectTitle":"Clean Start to Learning, Ready to Lead Tomorrow","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Mark","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-9_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/8363576"},{"teacherId":10296164,"projectId":9782280,"letterContent":"I sincerely apologize for the delay in sharing this update. Over winter break, I unexpectedly moved classrooms, and things have been a bit all over the place as I worked to get everything settled. Thank you so much for your patience and understanding.\r\n\r\nI am incredibly grateful for your generosity and support. Because of you, math has become something my students genuinely look forward to each day. With the Apple Pencil, Apple TV, drawing tablet, and height-adjustable standing desk, lessons are more interactive, visual, and exciting. Students love watching ideas come to life on the screen as problems are drawn and explained step by step, and many say it helps math finally make sense.\r\n\r\nThe joy and confidence this technology has brought into our classroom has been truly amazing to see. Students who were once hesitant to participate are now eager to ask questions, share their thinking, and celebrate their progress. Our classroom feels more inclusive, energized, and joyful—and that is all because of you. Thank you for believing in my students and for helping create learning experiences that they will remember and benefit from long after this year.","fullyFundedDate":1759609122299,"projectUrl":"project/math-in-motion-creating-a-cohesive-lear/9782280/","projectTitle":"Math in Motion: Creating a Cohesive Learning Environment","teacherDisplayName":"Mr. Gose","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-3_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/10296164"},{"teacherId":3193686,"projectId":9772933,"letterContent":"Mahalo for your generous donation that helped provide fidget tools for our class. My students have been excited to select different tools daily to help them remain focused while doing independent work. \r\n\r\nIn addition to having fidget tools available in our class, we were able to share with the four other second-grade classes at the school and donate some to our iReady reward program. All of the students are appreciative of having these and use them throughout the day.\r\n\r\nWe have had to review how to use the tools appropriately, but all students are now enjoying using them and ask for one daily.","fullyFundedDate":1759425524108,"projectUrl":"project/wiggle-free-class/9772933/","projectTitle":"Wiggle-Free Class","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Hadley","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-4_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/3193686"},{"teacherId":4251186,"projectId":9774223,"letterContent":"Thanks to this project, our classroom has become an even more engaging and motivating place for students. The Nintendo Switch 2 and Donkey Kong Banana Mania are being used intentionally as tools to support learning, teamwork, and positive behavior. While many donors may think of gaming as something used only at home, in our classroom this technology helps students practice problem-solving, persistence, and collaboration in a structured and meaningful way.\r\n\r\nWhat excites students most is that learning and effort are being celebrated. They are highly motivated by the opportunity to earn time with the game through completing assignments, demonstrating positive behavior, and showing growth. Donkey Kong Banana Mania challenges students to think strategically, try again after failure, and support one another — all skills that directly transfer to academics, especially reading and writing.\r\n\r\nSome students who typically struggle with motivation or confidence have especially warmed to this technology. Students who are often quiet or hesitant in class have found new ways to participate, encourage peers, and take leadership roles. Others who struggle to stay engaged are now more focused during lessons because they are working toward a shared goal. Attendance and effort have improved because students feel excited to be part of a positive classroom community.\r\n\r\nMost importantly, this project has helped students feel seen, valued, and successful. Your generosity has brought joy, motivation, and meaningful learning experiences into our classroom, and the impact will be felt long after the game is turned off. Thank you for making this possible for my students.","fullyFundedDate":1759410027553,"projectUrl":"project/switching-on-student-motivation/9774223/","projectTitle":"Switching On Student Motivation","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Martinez","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/272x272/tp4251186_272x272.jpg?width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1485838000379","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/msigesclass"},{"teacherId":9967059,"projectId":9777997,"letterContent":"Please accept my deepest and most sincere thanks for your truly extraordinary donation of an iPad, pencil, iPad Case and screen protector to our students in Grade 3 through 5. I am genuinely overwhelmed by your generosity and your belief in our students' potential.\r\n This donation represents a monumental expansion of student opportunity. For some of our learners, this was their very first time holding and using an iPad. The excitement in my learning group was palpable; seeing their faces light up as they engaged in hands-on learning was a moment I will never forget.\r\n Your support has had an immediate and profound impact on their daily education:\r\n - Closing the Digital Divide: By providing 1:1 access, you have ensured that no student is left behind. Every child now has a level playing field to develop the digital literacy required for their future.\r\n - Enhanced Online Learning: These devices allow students to dive deep into interactive programs where they receive personalized instruction tailored exactly to their level.\r\n - Hands-On Engagement: The iPad transforms abstract concepts into tangible experiences. Whether they are on programs, creating digital art, or researching projects, they are no longer passive observers, they are active creators.\r\n Your support immediately closed the gap, ensuring our young learners have modern tools necessary to thrive.

For medically fragile learners, having specific tactile and visual tools isn't just an \"extra\"—it's their primary way of connecting with the world around them.\r\n\r\nWe have already started using the new resources during our daily morning meeting. One student, who often struggles to stay engaged, was captivated by the new visual aids, reaching out to interact with them. These materials are helping my students find their voice and participate in lessons that were previously difficult for them to access.

We use the snacks not only to help students stay focused and energized during learning, but also as a positive incentive system. Students are encouraged to work toward our General Learner Outcomes, such as being responsible, respectful, and motivated learners, and to complete homework assignments in order to earn ʻIō Iki tickets. These tickets can then be used to purchase snacks during our Fun Fridays, which has been a powerful motivator for students to set goals and take ownership of their learning.\r\n\r\nWhen the students first saw the snacks, their reactions were full of excitement and gratitude. Many students were eager to learn how they could earn tickets and immediately began discussing ways they could improve their behavior, effort, and responsibility. One memorable moment was during a reading lesson when students pushed themselves to stay focused and engaged, knowing their hard work would pay off. The snacks quickly became a symbol of encouragement, support, and shared classroom responsibility.\r\n\r\nLooking ahead, your support continues to fuel our next steps in learning. Students are currently working on strengthening reading comprehension, writing, and problem-solving skills across subjects. With the added motivation of our snack incentive system, students are more engaged in meeting learning goals, completing homework, and demonstrating positive behaviors aligned with our classroom expectations. Thank you for giving us a glimpse into your generosity and for helping our students grow academically and personally.","fullyFundedDate":1759600929614,"projectUrl":"project/snack-attack-fuel-for-learning/9781947/","projectTitle":"Snack Attack: Fuel for Learning!","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Randolph","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp8819233_orig.jpg?crop=2880,2880,x0,y268&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1696440745231","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/8819233"},{"teacherId":7798313,"projectId":9780512,"letterContent":"Since receiving the new resources, they have become an essential part of our classroom, supporting students both academically and socially. Snacks and small incentives help students stay motivated and focused, especially during challenging parts of the day, while also reinforcing positive behavior and effort. The play equipment provides healthy opportunities for students to release energy, build friendships, and practice cooperation and problem-solving. One of the most meaningful parts of this project has been our school garden, where students take pride in caring for plants they helped grow. The garden edging has helped protect their hard work and strengthened their sense of ownership and responsibility. When the materials first arrived, students were excited, curious, and proud, knowing that others cared enough to support their learning and well-being. That excitement has carried over to increased engagement and a stronger sense of community. Moving forward, students will continue to tend the garden as a hands-on learning space, utilizing snacks, incentives, and play resources to support focus, motivation, and social growth. Thanks to our donors, students feel cared for, inspired, and proud of their school, setting them up for success both academically and socially.","fullyFundedDate":1759551906939,"projectUrl":"project/growing-healthy-minds-strong-bodies-an/9780512/","projectTitle":"Growing Healthy Minds, Strong Bodies, and a Beautiful School","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Rarallo","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp7798313_orig.jpg?crop=2152,2152,x933,y1480&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1706665926617","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/7798313"},{"teacherId":9804615,"projectId":9777945,"letterContent":"With your donation, you provided my students not only amazing books, but you have provided the opportunityfor my students to love reading!\r\nWith the books that we received, my students are able to enjoy books that are not only their reading level but are new which brings out the curiosity. \r\nStudents are able to pick a book that interest then when other work is finished.

We are currently using these treats to incentivize our \"Deep Dive\" sessions, where students tackle complex academic articles that help bridge the gap between 6th-grade reading and higher-level comprehension. A specific moment that stands out was during a recent lesson on technology; students who previously struggled to stay engaged were laser-focused, dissecting the text to earn their reward. These snacks aren't just treats—they are tangible rewards for the mental stamina required to improve their reading lexiles.\r\n\r\nWhen my students first saw the abundance of snacks being delivered to our classroom, the atmosphere was electric. Their faces lit up with a mix of thrill and genuine gratitude. There were audible gasps as they realized the sheer volume of materials provided by people they haven't even met. One student mentioned how \"cool\" it was that people cared enough about their reading to send these gifts. Seeing that level of support from the community made them feel seen and valued, creating a sense of excitement that has completely shifted their attitude toward challenging academic texts.\r\n\r\nOur next steps are to keep this incredible momentum going as we move into even more rigorous non-fiction units. Now that the students have experienced the satisfaction of pairing a difficult article with a delicious reward, we plan to track our lexile growth over the coming weeks to see how their focus translates into data-driven success. We will be diving into a series of articles focused on science-related topics, and I am confident that with these incentives in place, my students will continue to push themselves beyond their comfort zones. Your support has laid the groundwork for a semester of improved literacy and newfound confidence.","fullyFundedDate":1759194790130,"projectUrl":"project/snackies-for-success-round-2/9771951/","projectTitle":"Snackies for Success Round 2!","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Inoue","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp3251180_orig.png?crop=212,212,x0,y0&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1729550644106","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/ms-inoue"},{"teacherId":8822336,"projectId":9777212,"letterContent":"We want to share our aloha and appreciation for our new and motivational math resources and party favors!
