Your support made an immediate and meaningful difference in my classroom. Because of you, we were able to stock the PBIS store with a wide variety of popular snacks and items that students truly love. When they walked in and saw all their favorites displayed, their faces lit up with excitement. The store instantly became a highlight of their week and a powerful motivator for making positive choices.\r\n\r\nYour contribution helped create an environment where students feel recognized and rewarded for their efforts. They couldn't wait to use the points they earned through positive behavior and active engagement in class to \"purchase\" their favorite snacks. This not only encouraged them to stay focused and participate but also reinforced the value of making good decisions. Thank you for helping us build a classroom culture that celebrates responsibility, kindness, and hard work—your generosity truly made that possible.","fullyFundedDate":1756730448208,"projectUrl":"project/help-me-give-my-students-positive-motiva/9630535/","projectTitle":"Help Me Give My Students Positive Motivation!","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Ivy","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp10196161_orig.jpg?crop=648,648,x88,y0&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1755709201882","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/ms-tivy"},{"teacherId":9480896,"projectId":9291334,"letterContent":"Your donations impacted the Forest Hill Volleyball team immensely. The balls allowed us to have a free flowing practice, the setters net helped my setters refine their techniques, the attack rods helped with our power and jumping, and the knee pads helped to ensure the players were safe whenever they had to dive for the ball. \r\n\r\nThe donations helped us improve this season and brought us from a season of just 1 credible win to 7.

They especially appreciate having a clean and welcoming environment that balances health precautions with comfort. The snacks have been a big hit as rewards, and they love working toward earning them.\r\n\r\nOne of their favorite moments has been using the student-teacher chair. They get the chance to step into the teacher role, leading their peers and engaging in classroom discussions—it really boosts their confidence and participation.\r\n\r\nThanks to your support, my students are not only learning but also building leadership and teamwork skills. Next, we'll be using these resources to strengthen our current lessons while giving students more opportunities to take ownership of their learning.","fullyFundedDate":1750774759406,"projectUrl":"project/dj-classroom/9399131/","projectTitle":"DJ Classroom","teacherDisplayName":"Mr. Johnson","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp10050895_orig.jpg?crop=1:1,smart&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1755319196528","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/10050895"},{"teacherId":810921,"projectId":9176907,"letterContent":"Your generosity has provided Chromebook chargers that keep my students laptops up and running. Thanks to you, my scholars can go to the loaner cart near my desk, grab a pouch with a charger in it, and sign it out on the whiteboard. I know they appreciate the peace-of-mind that comes with knowing they'll have everything they need to get their work done in class.\r\n\r\nWe use our Chromebooks every day to complete video quizzes, practice exercises in French, and to check for understanding before and after each lesson. The students also learn using online flashcards with Quizlet, practice verbs using Conjuguemos, and practice vocabulary and grammar with Duolingo for schools. All of these assignments help keep my scholars engaged and learning, but they do drain a Chromebook battery! I'm a teacher who believes that proactive solutions counteract excuses: that is why my students and I are so grateful for your help in making sure our laptop chargers are working.\r\n\r\nYou also helped stock the writing supplies by the entrance to the classroom. My students are required to write notes daily, and upload a photo of them to Canvas for a grade. I want them to use blue or black ink to write their notes so that I can clearly read the words while I'm grading them from a photo uploaded to Canvas, so I make sure that I supply them with pens and paper. This again is a proactive solution to counteract excuses. My students and I are so grateful for your support in meeting and exceeding expectations.","fullyFundedDate":1742912343668,"projectUrl":"project/cest-l-if-you-need-it-its-there/9176907/","projectTitle":"C'est là!

These two additional Chromebooks have allowed all of my students to complete their assignments on Canvas in class without having to wait to use a laptop. Our school is a one-to-one district, which means students are given a device at the beginning of the year. Unfortunately, however, those devices don't always hold up well under the strain of daily use, and our school doesn't currently have any extra devices.\r\n\r\nThrough your generosity, I'm able to lend students a Chromebook to use during class so that they will have the opportunity to complete video quizzes, online practice, Duolingo, and many other apps and games while they're at school and have the time and resources to complete their assignments. Scholars know when they come to my class, that I will provide everything they need to succeed.\r\n\r\nMy largest class has around 22 students, and there are almost always at least 4 who need to borrow a device. Since we've received these 2 Chromebooks, no one has had to wait until someone is finished with their work so that they can use the remaining class time to work. The students who most often use the loaners have thanked me many times for equipping them with these resources. I remind them that it is your generosity that provided it.","fullyFundedDate":1735825690924,"projectUrl":"project/mademoiselle-may-i-borrow-a-chromebook/8766153/","projectTitle":"Mademoiselle?
