My students' eyes lit up as they saw the board games, treats, and incentives waiting for them. What might look like simple items from the outside quickly became tools for connection, motivation, and celebration inside our classroom. One student even said, \"This doesn't feel like math class.\"\r\n\r\nWe continue to use the games to bring algebra to life. During our new 90-minute block classes this year, students work in teams to solve problems and earn small rewards like candy. Those moments are more than just fun—they create laughter, teamwork, and confidence. A Jolly Rancher has turned into a symbol of encouragement. Even past students stop by just to grab one and say hello, reminding us how something so small can carry so much meaning.\r\n\r\nOur next steps are to continue building this sense of community while diving deeper into algebra. Through these resources, my students learned that math is not just about numbers—it's about problem-solving, persistence, and celebrating growth together. Every treat, every game, and every smile is helping ignite a passion for learning.","fullyFundedDate":1719067553823,"projectUrl":"project/food-is-the-key-to-a-childs-heart/8273121/","projectTitle":"Food Is the Key to a Child's Heart!","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Spratley","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp8383965_orig.jpg?crop=726,726,x0,y0&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1756602193024","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/8383965"},{"teacherId":8360607,"projectId":8945484,"letterContent":"The Roaring Lions Coffee Shop has made a significant difference in our classroom, and it is essential to share this impact with our generous donors.

While I originally planned to purchase new tables, I was instead able to invest in science equipment, microscope slides, and a much-needed technology upgrade that will benefit my students for years to come. The new laptop has made my work easier and saved me more time than I ever expected, helping me better prepare lessons and presentations.

I have always loved my classroom, and now it's even better. The addition of fluorescent light covers, LED strip lights, and a new standing-height table made a noticeable difference in the atmosphere and effectiveness of our science lab. \r\n\r\nSurpisingly, the fluorescent light covers seem to have had the biggest impact on the classroom atmosphere! The overhead fluorescent lights always seemed overly bright, and students often requested that the lights be turned off during classwork time. Now, with the softened lighting, students are noticeably more comfortable, and the overall mood in the room has shifted - students seem more relaxed and better able to concentrate on their work. \r\n\r\nThe LED strip lights have been a game changer for the countertop lab stations. During our recent microscope lab, the improved lighting made it much easier for students to use the microscopes stationed under the cabinets, enhancing both visibility and accuracy in their observations.\r\n\r\nYour generosity is making a daily impact. Students are more comfortable and better able to see their work. These improvements have not only enhanced the physical space but also contributed to a more positive and productive learning experience overall.

With the Mac mini, students are learning to use digital audio workstations, explore new musical ideas, and express themselves in ways that connect to both their personal identities and modern music-making practices. From recording a 12-bar blues to crafting original beats, they're gaining real-world skills and building confidence in their musical abilities.\r\n\r\nYour donation didn't just provide equipment, it created opportunity and inspiration.
