Thanks to your generous donations, our new tablets have made a tremendous difference in both learning and classroom behavior.\r\n\r\nIn our class, the tablets are used as positive reinforcement through our \"Class Buck\" system. When students demonstrate good behavior, complete their work, and help clean up, they earn class bucks. During their break time, they can use those bucks to \"buy\" rewards from our Buck Store—and the tablets have quickly become the most popular choice!\r\n\r\nThe excitement around the tablets has completely transformed our classroom culture. Students are more motivated to stay on task, follow directions, and make positive choices so they can earn time on the tablets. It's heartwarming to see their faces light up when they get to use them.\r\n\r\nBeyond being a reward, the tablets have also become a learning tool. Students use them for educational games, fine motor activities, and communication practice. One of my students who used to struggle to stay engaged now completes all his work just so he can earn tablet time—and he's even begun helping his peers so they can earn bucks too!","fullyFundedDate":1759976661302,"projectUrl":"project/positivity-in-technology/9798448/","projectTitle":"Positivity in Technology","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Cypree","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-5_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/10304409"},{"teacherId":9577148,"projectId":8470854,"letterContent":"Thank you so much for your generous contribution to our classroom! The resources you helped provide have made a tremendous difference in both the learning environment and the emotional well-being of my students. From the very first day the materials arrived, there was an excited buzz in the room. The fidget tools and wiggle bands have given my students healthy outlets to manage their energy and emotions, helping them stay more focused and engaged. One of their favorite surprises was the colorful pencil toppers—something so simple that brought so much joy. The skip counting posters are used daily as we work on mastering multiplication fluency, and the desk flips have empowered my students to communicate their needs nonverbally, helping me offer timely support during independent work.\r\n\r\nThe mailboxes and small group organizer have brought a new level of structure and independence to our classroom. Students now have a consistent place for turning in and receiving assignments, and I'm able to rotate small groups more efficiently and intentionally. Recently, we used these tools during a math project where students created their own skip counting number lines and taught them to a partner—the posters and tools helped them feel confident and supported throughout the process. Next, we'll be diving into a unit on multi-digit multiplication, where these visual supports and classroom routines will continue to play a critical role. Your generosity has not only brought smiles to our classroom but has also helped create a space where every student feels supported and seen.
