I can't tell you how wonderful it has been watching my students blossom while learning to write in cursive. We have worked for 10 minutes, every single school-day. We've been navigating our way through the alphabet, doing 3-4 letters a week. Students have received snacks (what I used the funding for) 3 times per week - every other day. There were a few times when the calendar hindered us from jumping into our lessons, having had Winter Break for 2 weeks during the end of last year and beginning of this year. Even so, we have managed to reach the letter V. When we finish learning the cursive alphabet, upper and lower cases, we're going to learn to write our full names, developing our unique signatures. That is our ultimate goal. \r\n Being middle schoolers, my students are growing at a phenomenal rate. Because they are growing, they are always hungry - figuratively and literally. Having snacks to give them has helped extend their fuses a bit, allowing them to tough out the last few minutes of our class time, being at the end of the day. The snacks have also acted as a reward to incentivize their learning of cursive. I can personally attest to the magic candy can work when it comes to getting a cranky, tired 7th grader to learn a new activity. In all seriousness, thank you very much for funding my project and for helping me teach my students cursive!","fullyFundedDate":1760895744057,"projectUrl":"project/teaching-students-cursive/9839014/","projectTitle":"Teaching Students Cursive","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Bello","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-6_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/10316190"},{"teacherId":3383348,"projectId":9841935,"letterContent":"Thank you for your donations to my classroom.

For example, students are currently creating products to sell at our school's Winter Market. We have used the markers for every single product! We are creating necklaces, keychains, and small canvas wall hangings to sell at the market.
