The snacks were a big hit. We live in a low soci-economic area and many students come to school hungry. Our school provides free breakfast and lunch, but that extra snack during the day or one to take home at the end of the day, makes a difference to many students. Their health and well-being is as important as their learning.\r\nThe winter gear provided through this project was also beneficial to those students who did not have or forgot their gear. We go outside each day if we can, even in the winter. It is so good for students to use their energy, get the fresh air, and just be kids. Having all of the gear they need to enjoy recess is very important for them to enjoy this time properly.\r\nFinally, the health care items were well received by all. Winter brings chapped lips and dry hands. The students love having their own personal items to care for themselves. \r\nEverything from tissues to toothbrushes were met with excitement in the room.

The gloves and hats have supported students during cold, snowy recess days, and the backup sneakers, socks, and sweatpants have proven invaluable when unexpected needs arise.\r\n\r\nThe Magna-Tiles have quickly become a favorite during indoor recess and our reward time, \"Frog-Tag Time,\" fostering creativity, collaboration, and joy. Additionally, the weighted bear and dinosaur have been especially cherished. Each day, two students have the opportunity to use them, and it has been heartwarming to see the comfort they provide; students often carry them, talk to them, and engage with them throughout the day.\r\n\r\nI am so thankful that these items were included in the project, as they are already making a positive difference for my students.

When our students demonstrate these behaviors—whether by helping a classmate, thinking through a challenging problem, or showing compassion to one another—they have the opportunity to care for their desk pets and maintain their habitats.

The stickers, lamination, and rewards have given them a strong sense of motivation and pride in their work. Students are more eager to participate, stay focused, and put in extra effort when they know their achievements will be recognized. The ability to choose stickers makes the reward feel personal, which boosts their confidence and excitement about learning.\r\nLamination has also had a positive impact by turning their work into lasting keepsakes. When students see their laminated projects, charts, or awards, they feel a sense of accomplishment and ownership. This helps reinforce learning, builds self-esteem, and encourages them to take better care of their work. It also allows students to revisit and reflect on their progress over time.\r\nOverall, these choices have created a positive classroom culture. Rewards tied to effort and growth have encouraged responsibility, goal-setting, and perseverance. Students support one another, celebrate successes, and feel valued, which has led to improved behavior, stronger engagement, and a more enthusiastic approach to learning.","fullyFundedDate":1767228471947,"projectUrl":"project/make-learning-fun/9795579/","projectTitle":"Make Learning Fun","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Wright","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp7852341_orig.jpg?crop=1206,1205,x0,y0&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1632840720983","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/7852341"},{"teacherId":245326,"projectId":9621527,"letterContent":"Many thanks for the wonderful snacks that you provided my new group of froglets!
