Your donation of snacks that I use for positive rewards has made a huge difference in my classroom culture. My students are eager to perform to earn these rewards. \r\n\r\nMy students have not been successful in the traditional public school setting. Many have not received very much positive reinforcement of their behaviors. It is important to me to change this pattern and make sure that I reward students when they are doing something right!\r\n\r\nI was able to host a beautiful celebration during lunch where I provided students who were meeting classroom expectations with treats, drinks, and ice cream. Sometimes teachers like me end up buying everything ourselves. It was so nice to be able to share with students that members of the community cared enough about them to send them rewards during this event.","fullyFundedDate":1772546730530,"projectUrl":"project/student-rewards-for-positive-behavior/10087597/","projectTitle":"Student Rewards for Positive Behavior","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Moi","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-7_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/8663972"},{"teacherId":10174547,"projectId":9586482,"letterContent":"Your donation has been amazing!

Even though they are Juniors and Seniors, they genuinely love these resources in class. \r\n\r\nAdditionally, I have set up the soccer goals in the grass area outside. Students are playing soccer during every single lunch. I have noticed a few students who usually sit by themselves join in. I know that this activity means a lot to students. Having beautiful brand new athletic equipment makes students want to play. \r\n\r\nI have also put out the basketballs at lunch to replace the nearly flat ones we had before.
