We've been using the new materials every single day! The dry erase boards have quickly become a classroom favorite—students use them to solve math problems, practice spelling, and share quick responses during lessons. It's amazing to see how engaged they are when they each have a board in hand. The noise cancelling headphones have really helped us concentrate on our work. Also, the incentive items and birthday chart have brought so much joy to our classroom community!\r\n\r\nI wish you could have seen their faces light up! The moment we unpacked the boxes, there was an excited buzz around the room. Students couldn't wait to test out the new whiteboards and markers. When we added the birthday chart, they immediately started looking for their own names and talking about how special their day would be this year. It was such a heartwarming moment of gratitude and excitement.\r\n\r\nWe'll continue using the dry erase boards for daily practice and small-group learning, especially as we move into more challenging math and writing units. Students are also setting personal goals to earn incentives through acts of kindness, responsibility, and effort—so the rewards have become part of a larger growth mindset conversation. These resources have really helped our classroom to be more joyful and motivating !","fullyFundedDate":1753884352327,"projectUrl":"project/engaged-and-organized-supplies-to-keep/9475168/","projectTitle":"Engaged and Organized: Supplies to Keep Our Learning on Track!","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Zingsheim","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp6750103_orig.jpg?crop=398,398,x0,y0&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1753109799693","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/6750103"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_37197","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":440,"numTeachers":37,"percentFrplEligible":44,"percentAsian":7,"percentBlack":9,"percentWhite":55,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":18,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"Pre-K - 5","studentTeacherRatio":"11.9:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":false,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"SUBURBAN","ncesMetroType":"SUBURB_LARGE"},"inStateSupporters":81.1,"schoolId":37197,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Northside Elementary School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Northside Elementary School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/wisconsin/sun-prairie-area-school-district/northside-elementary-school/37197"}
