Your generosity has created a classroom environment where students feel motivated, engaged, and excited to learn each day. The incentives and house point system encouraged teamwork, positive behavior, and academic effort in ways that truly transformed our classroom culture.\r\n\r\nMy students were incredibly excited when they first saw the materials and immediately became invested in earning points for their houses. Watching students encourage one another during review games, classroom activities, and collaborative lessons has been one of the most rewarding experiences this year.\r\n\r\nBecause of your support, students are continuing to stay motivated as we prepare for End of Course testing and finish the school year strong. Thank you for making such a meaningful impact on my students and helping create a classroom where they feel successful, supported, and celebrated.","fullyFundedDate":1776090281711,"projectUrl":"project/incentives-spring-2026/10097739/","projectTitle":"Incentives Spring 2026","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Reynolds","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp3264635_orig.jpg?crop=4160,4160,x1040,y0&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1687195347501","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/carrie-reynolds"},{"teacherId":8679501,"projectId":9569993,"letterContent":"My students and I are so thankful for the resources you enabled us to utilize to further our learning journey! We do not have a textbook for our curriculum and I do realize we could saturate ourselves with technology and create digital notebooks, but I believe that MY students will grow exponentially more because this first project was completely hands on! All of the materials allowed my students to get back in touch with their creative student to design Interactive Notebook covers that reflect who they are and what they strive to become in the future! Not only are were we able to design notebook covers but the content is also very reflective of student choice and uniqueness. \r\nAt first students believe it is another arduous task, but once they see the possibility, they get so engaged and it is difficult to get them to move beyond the excitement of what they are capable of creating. \r\nThese notebooks do not only serve as a visual representation of the students, but they become their portfolio. Students are able to see their growth from day to day, week to week, grading period to grading period. I believe the most rewarding accomplishment is growth that they can see for themselves! Some students even use their books from year to year!

And I had the start to the filing system I need to help them stay organized. I taught with a lot of paper this term, to make sure I received from students what they thought, and not what Google or AI thought! I use AI to take short-cuts for things I know how to do, and it saves me a lot of time. But students do not yet know enough--for what we are doing--to take such short cuts. I'm transitioning to teaching history as much as possible through a literacy-based model, and that means lots of reading and writing--as well as speaking and listening. That's how I started my career, before technology made it too easy to cut corners. \r\n I'm nearing the end of my career (my first class was teaching summer school English in 1984!) and I am getting back to my roots more and more. We need to skills, not content. They will absorb that if they are life-long learners with a lot of curiosity.

They were able to draw huge, sidewalk-sized neurons around the campus, get creative, and show off their knowledge!\r\n\r\nThe clay brains was an incredibly fun and engaging activity. Students had a great time getting to create their own brains, and the kinesthetic aspect was helpful for many students to be able to understand the different parts of the brain. It was a great way to get ALL students engaged, interested, and bought-into the assignment, which was to take their model brain and explain its parts and functions to adults on the school campus.
