The 3rd graders were tickled pink to try their hand at weaving for the first time.\r\n\r\nWe started the unit by learning about weaving and reading a story of a Navajo weaver. The book is called the Goat in the Rug. Next, students painted their paper plate.\r\n\r\nThe second class period students used a template to begin warping their loom. On the third class and beyond students began the weaving process using various yarn of their choice.","fullyFundedDate":1772501423570,"projectUrl":"project/wacky-wondrous-weaving/10001689/","projectTitle":"Wacky, Wondrous Weaving","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. McCullough","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/272x272/tp2421239_272x272.jpg?width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1475798498234","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/ms-fugate"},{"teacherId":10195315,"projectId":9630250,"letterContent":"Because of your generosity, our PBIS store has become something truly special for our students. What was once just an idea is now a space filled with excitement, motivation, and pride. Students are actively working to earn rewards, and it has created a positive shift in behavior across our school.\r\n\r\nThe first time students saw the new items, their reactions said it all—smiles, excitement, and lots of questions about how they could earn points. Now, students are making better choices daily, encouraging one another, and taking ownership of their behavior. I've seen students who once struggled with engagement become more motivated simply because they have something meaningful to work toward.\r\n\r\nThese resources are more than just rewards; they are tools that help us build confidence, reinforce positive behavior, and create a supportive school culture. Because of you, we are not just recognizing good behavior, we are growing it. Moving forward, we will continue to use our PBIS store to celebrate student success, strengthen relationships, and inspire our students to be their very best.\r\n\r\nThank you for investing in our students and believing in their potential.

My students and I cannot thank you enough for contributing to our school. The Social Emotional Journals are currently being utilized by fourth and fifth grade students who receive supplementary social skills instruction in the mornings. Each morning they start their day with an activity from the journal. \r\n\r\nEach student was given a journal and was given the opportunity to peek into the contents of the book. Since the activities are short and sweet the kids agreed that this would be a great way to start the day. After completing the assignment the students are either given the opportunity to share what they have written to the whole class or one on one with an adult. \r\n\r\nI firmly believe that personal growth is a product of self-reflection. With these journals, I hope that my students will continue to grow into great citizens. \r\n\r\nFor my next project, I hope to start a sensory room at the school. We have many students who have various kinds of sensory needs. However, at this time, the school is simply lacking the funds to create one .
