My class was able to keep an interactive notebook all year long. The students found it engaging. When they saw the colorful paper, and the color printed images, they took great care to cut and paste, and keep their notebook neat and tidy. I was able to get 100% classroom engagement from students who usually find it hard to focus. My ELL students were able to interact with the curriculum using fine motored skills that kept them engaged and learning their new skills.\r\nSo, thank you so much for helping my class build their interactive notebooks all year.","fullyFundedDate":1703988143854,"projectUrl":"project/enhancing-curriculum-to-support-classroo/8095566/","projectTitle":"Enhancing Curriculum to Support Classroom Engagement","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Kouf","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp9405100_orig.jpg?width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1701961002047","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9405100"},{"teacherId":8708067,"projectId":9880167,"letterContent":"We really appreciate your support of our Snack for a Leader initiative. Your kindness has already had a significant impact on our classroom, and I would love to give a more detailed account of how your support is influencing our daily schedules, culture, and students' sense of accomplishment.\r\n\r\nAs part of our leadership and social-emotional learning block, my students and I have been utilizing the new tools for the past few weeks. We get together every day for our Leaders in Action time, which is an opportunity to stop, think, and discuss what real-life leadership looks like. The snacks you assisted in providing have developed into an effective tool for encouraging healthy decisions. They are more than just sweets; they are representations of accountability, compassion, and development.\r\n\r\nDuring a recent class meeting, one of the most remarkable events had place. One student raised his hand during our discussion of what it means to be a leader and stated, \"A leader is someone who helps others even when no one is watching.\" That led to a lovely discussion. Students started discussing instances of leadership they had observed in one another, such as lending a hand with cleanup, supporting a dissatisfied classmate, or exercising patience when working in groups. Proud smiles flooded the room when I distributed the first \"leader snacks\" of the week. The pupils were enthusiastic about what the snack stood for rather than the snack itself. That moment perfectly encapsulated the significance of this project.\r\n\r\nMore than simply refreshments were brought into our classroom thanks to your assistance. It provided inspiration, drive, and a feeling of accomplishment. It assisted in establishing an environment where kids feel appreciated for their good deeds and motivated to continue developing. I am grateful that you have provided my students with the opportunity to engage with leadership in such a concrete and delightful manner.","fullyFundedDate":1762874872285,"projectUrl":"project/snacks-for-leaders/9880167/","projectTitle":"Snacks for Leaders","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Gelera","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp8708067_orig.jpg?crop=600,600,x0,y0&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1698898106800","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/8708067"},{"teacherId":2616800,"projectId":9484444,"letterContent":"Thank you for your generous donations in support of my project!

They got to splatter paint, use neon pastels, and other special UV reactive materials. Parents were also invited to join into the fun during our Art Show. They played with spirographs and used neon materials as a family in the black light lab. \r\n\r\nStudents now in Grades 3-5 are learning introductory skills needed for sewing.
