On day one of receiving our large box, they inquired about what was inside. I could not wait to show them. They were amazed by how pretty and soft their new kid couch is. Every day since, there has been an active competition over who gets a turn next to sit and work on the couch. \r\nThe couch has not only brought a more aesthetically pleasing atmosphere to our classroom but also encourages positive student behavior. My young students are motivated to stay on task and be on their best behavior in order to keep the privilege of working while sitting on the couch rather than our regular classroom rug or plastic chairs.

Most of the materials in this project were for physical education and art activities, and I am happy to share that such activities have been enhanced in our classroom and have brought the students much joy.\r\n\r\nFor example, my students are happy to use the foam ball to practice their throwing and catching skills, not having to worry about getting hit or hurt by an actual ball. In addition, the students have also been using the soccer ball regularly. Such items have been a great addition to our P.E. equipment.\r\n\r\nOn another note, the students were so excited to have art materials such as paint trays and brushes. The trays have allowed the students to get more creative with color mixing, improving their value/shading abilities. Furthermore, we have been doing more painting now that we have the appropriate materials, and the students could not be more grateful as I am.\r\n\r\nWith such materials, our classroom will truly continue to become even more colorful!","fullyFundedDate":1734712142827,"projectUrl":"project/making-a-more-colorful-classroom/8773420/","projectTitle":"Making a More Colorful Classroom","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Doria","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp8073207_orig.jpg?crop=1:1,smart&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1764813933180","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/mrs-doria"},{"teacherId":1265980,"projectId":8409093,"letterContent":"Thank you so much for your generosity and support for our students.

They may also earn money for showing good behavior such as being responsible, helpful, respectful, and many more. As they earn money, they show responsibility by keeping their money secure and by counting them correctly for proper use at the student store.\r\n\r\nThese goodies have helped my students learn the value of intrinsic motivation and decision-making, in addition to positive behavior.
