Funded Aug 2, 2023A huge thank you for your love and support for my students. This project provided snacks to help stock the classroom food cabinet. It takes time for students to get back into the routine of eating three times a day instead of any time they want. Like they do when they are on summer break. These snacks help several of my students get through the day and I cannot thank you enough for that. The snacks help my students concentrate on their work during class time, instead of being distracted due to hunger. Hunger can create a negative impact on my student's school performance, which is something I wish to avoid. Having a snack available for all my students is helping them stay focused and engaged during instruction.
The donations helped me purchase writing material, such as journals, pencils, and dry erasers as well as snacks. The journal is used daily as an entry task for Emotional Journal Writing assignments. The social-emotional journaling is a great way to work on social-emotional skills like empathy, friendships, goals, conflict resolution, and decision-making. My students are benefitting from using the writing materials by enhancing reflection, facilitating critical thought, expressing feelings, and writing focused arguments.
Once again, thank you for all your donations. They have truly had a positive impact on my class.”
With gratitude,
Ms. Zavala
