As a teacher, we are constantly replacing classroom supplies and they take quite the toll on us. You have provided me with the opportunity to give my students some great essentials AND incentives. I have a reward wheel in my classroom and your donation provided treats such as candies and cookies where students are able to choose their reward. Students really look forward to these and work hard to earn the opportunity to spin the wheel. You also helped me replace worn highlighters with a new set. As a language arts classroom, we annotate books and go through quite a lot of highlighters.

My students finished reading a novel in class and were then assigned to create a mobile filled with symbols from the novel. Students were able to use the supplies to draw and cut out characters. They also used the beads as decorative strings with a color symbolic to the novel. The students used the embroidery hoops to construct the mobiles and the strings were used to add their symbols and hang it from the ceiling tiles. My students were excited to use the supplies and were able to really get their imaginations rolling.

I have been using the spinning wheel as a reward when students do something that goes above and beyond, or when they excel on an assignment. For example, students are able to spin the wheel when they demonstrate an act of kindness, or if they score a 100 on an exam. This has motivated students to work harder, study more, and overall demonstrate character traits of kindness and responsibility. I look forward to witnessing the continue improvement in my students due to your donation.","fullyFundedDate":1758636477762,"projectUrl":"project/spin-and-win/9526957/","projectTitle":"Spin and Win","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Gonzalez","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/272x272/tp5952757_272x272.jpg?width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1538719818621","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/yaraluna"},{"teacherId":5952757,"projectId":9245675,"letterContent":"On behalf of my students, I want to sincerely thank you for your generous donation of books for our English Language Learners.
