The Battleship game and rewards have become an important part of our positive behavior support system, helping students stay engaged, motivated, and excited about learning.\r\n\r\nWe use the resources to celebrate students who demonstrate our school expectations, show kindness, work hard, and make positive choices. I especially love watching students encourage one another to earn PBIS rewards together. These items have not only created excitement but have also strengthened teamwork, communication, and problem-solving skills.\r\n\r\nAs we move forward, we will continue incorporating these resources into our PBIS system while helping students set personal behavior and academic goals. The rewards provide students with meaningful incentives to stay focused, persevere through challenges, and take pride in their accomplishments.\r\n\r\nThank you for investing in our students and helping us create a classroom where positive behavior, learning, and fun go hand in hand.

The resources you provided have already had a positive impact on our students. We are using the store as part of our school-wide positive behavior program, where students earn Eagle Merits for showing kindness, responsibility, perseverance, and for trying their best each day. Students can save their merits and \"shop\" for rewards, making their hard work and positive choices feel meaningful and celebrated.\r\n\r\nWhen students first learned that the Eagle Merits Store was fully stocked and ready to open, they were thrilled. Their excitement was contagious as they looked at the available items and began setting goals for how many merits they wanted to earn. Even more inspiring was hearing students encourage one another to make positive choices so everyone would have opportunities to earn merits. The store has become more than a reward system. It has helped create a positive classroom culture where students are motivated to be their best selves.\r\n\r\nAs we move forward, we will continue using the Eagle Merits Store to reinforce positive behavior and build strong character skills. Students are learning that kindness, effort, respect, and responsibility are valuable traits that lead to success both in and out of the classroom. Your generosity has helped us create an environment where these lessons come to life every day. Thank you for investing in our students and helping us celebrate their growth and accomplishments. Your support is making a lasting difference in our school community.","fullyFundedDate":1789787673500,"projectUrl":"project/earning-eagle-merits/10558473/","projectTitle":"Earning Eagle Merits","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Nasharty","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp2869678_orig.jpg?crop=1072,1072,x0,y39&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1616429309233","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/2869678"},{"teacherId":2869678,"projectId":9761602,"letterContent":"Thank you for funding this project to provide comfortable chairs for students to use during their quiet reading time.
