As soon as the students got their gifts, they felt compelled to write a letter thanking their donors and explaining their future plans with their gifts.\r\n\r\nSeeing the objects for the first time was a heart warming experience. The girls enthusiasm was evident because they immediately started brainstorming about the numerous bracelets they would create for their closed ones. Similarly, the boys got just as excited because they shared their goal of improving joggling skills. \r\n\r\nMy future goal is to use this experience and gifts to have the students write personal narratives. In their Language Arts class, personal narratives assignments are common and I believe the students are holding huge intrinsic motivation from the experience to put a good essay in the books.","fullyFundedDate":1733254797453,"projectUrl":"project/santas-soccer-bracelet-workshop/8977879/","projectTitle":"Santa's Soccer & Bracelet Workshop","teacherDisplayName":"Mr. Perez","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-9_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9850597"},{"teacherId":7192595,"projectId":6786438,"letterContent":"When the wireless mice arrived, the students were excited to start using them right away.
