Being successful makes students happy, and every success story helps them build self-confidence. When learners feel proud of their efforts, they are encouraged to reach for the next goal and sustain positive momentum.\r\n\r\nClassroom reward systems are an important part of effective classroom management. Thoughtfully chosen incentives increase work ethic, reinforce desired behaviors, and help students develop self-management skills. For many of our learners—who face academic and social challenges—small celebrations of progress make a meaningful difference. We celebrate every success, no matter how small, because each one strengthens resilience and motivates further growth.\r\n\r\nWith your generosity, we can expand our reward options to include a variety of LEGO sets. LEGO materials provide hands-on, creative opportunities that reward effort while supporting problem-solving, collaboration, and fine-motor development. Receiving LEGO as a classroom incentive will empower students to aim higher, feel successful, and take pride in their accomplishments.\r\n\r\nThank you for considering this request and for helping us create moments of joy and achievement for our students. Your support truly makes a difference.","fullyFundedDate":1767242427055,"projectUrl":"project/pbis-incentives/9906517/","projectTitle":"PBIS Incentives","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Bova","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp9571656_orig.jpg?crop=1411,1411,x473,y947&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1728054434710","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9571656"},{"teacherId":9571656,"projectId":9977650,"letterContent":"Thank you so much for supporting our classroom's Lunar New Year celebration.

These items do more than serve as prizes — they support students who benefit from sensory tools to focus, self‑regulate, and participate fully. For children with oral fixations, ADHD, or other sensory‑seeking needs, chewy necklaces and pencil toppers make it possible to engage comfortably in activities and to enjoy the celebration alongside their classmates.\r\n\r\nBecause of your support, our students will:\r\n\r\nLearn about Lunar New Year traditions through interactive crafts, stories, and games.\r\nTake pride in participating in a culturally respectful celebration that promotes awareness and inclusion.\r\nEnjoy sensory‑friendly tools that help them concentrate, participate, and feel successful during the festivities.\r\nYour contribution brings this celebration to life and helps build a classroom community where every child can take part, learn, and feel valued.
