I could not have funded it on my own. My students were very grateful for everything that was given to them through this project and I cannot express enough what the impact was to their learning. They weren't just asking yes or no questions. Now, they are asking reflective questions which is a higher state of questioning, and I was really overjoyed to see that. \r\nAgain, I could not have done this on my own, and I am eternally grateful that my students were able to get the experience of learning through manipulatives and not just me being the\" sage on the stage.\" They needed something more, and I was looking around my room, and I couldn't provide that.

I carefully arranged each item, making sure it was displayed neatly. I also created a classroom store sign to draw attention to the new look. I wanted the students to feel a rush of joy and anticipation when they laid eyes on our latest additions. \r\n\r\nTheir faces lit up with delight, eagerly examining each new treasure. Earning and saving up their Eagle Bucks has never been more fulfilling as students eagerly anticipate Friday, when they can finally browse through the store and snag their favorite items.\r\n\r\nIt's clear that the school store has become a hotspot for all students looking to express themselves and show off the items they have earned. The eagerness and happiness radiating from everyone make Fridays something to look forward to each week!\r\n\r\nThank you so much from the bottom of my heart.","fullyFundedDate":1735684537022,"projectUrl":"project/respect-responsible-safe/8782206/","projectTitle":"Respect, Responsible, & Safe","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Lee","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-2_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9378583"},{"teacherId":9006425,"projectId":8770547,"letterContent":"With tremendous appreciation and reverence for your donation we are honored that you chose to donate to our project. \r\n Students often need a few minutes to de-escalate or just to help regulate themselves. Just taking a few minutes with some self regulation tools, as the ones purchased through this project, can help them become focused. When students are focused, they are ready to learn. \r\n Our goal is to help students become the best version of themselves. Students and grown-ups alike need to be able to self regulate in life.

With more options for students to choose from, there is something for everyone to enjoy during this much-needed break in the day. We are actively encouraging sharing amongst our peers, fostering a sense of community and collaboration on the playground and sometimes even indoor recess.
