It has made an enormous difference in my classroom. Where before, students walked into an Edmentum period in ELA with dread, now they walk in with excitement, wanting to earn trophies and win snacks or stickers. It has made my classroom come to life on the quietest and most intense period of the week. \r\n\r\nJust to give you an idea of some of the strategies I've used during Edmentum: \r\n- Everyone who gets a trophy has a choice between either a Jolly Rancher, Dum Dum, or sticker. \r\n- At times, everyone gets an additional snack on top of the previous prize \r\n- A new twist I'm enjoying: I write down random numbers that the students are aware of, and when that number comes up (example: the 4th trophy of the class) that number gets an additional treat. \r\n\r\nThank you for allowing me to have fun with this directive!","fullyFundedDate":1775325543693,"projectUrl":"project/tasty-treats-for-trophy-triumphs/10178850/","projectTitle":"Tasty Treats for Trophy Triumphs","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Parker","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp4053188_orig.jpg?crop=2048,2048,x0,y0&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1771104976403","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/4053188"},{"teacherId":2291222,"projectId":10130662,"letterContent":"My students are so happy to have the supplies we need to succeed.\r\n\r\nAs they progress through a difficult academic year of 7th grade, where their scores will go to the high school when they apply to for next year, students are under a lot more pressure.
