My students are part of a supported block, where they receive extra help in navigating both academic expectations and social-emotional challenges. When they first saw the chair pockets, treats, treasure chest rewards, stress balls, scented pencils, and the many colorful prizes, their excitement was immediate and genuine. Several students ran their hands along the brand-new seat organizers and said, \"Now I can keep everything in one place!\" This small comment spoke volumes about how much these organizational tools mean to them. Having their own space to store pencils, workbooks, and daily essentials has instantly reduced stress and helped them come to class more prepared and confident.\r\n\r\nThe variety of incentives sent ranged from candies and cookies to slime kits, stress balls, scratch-and-sniff stickers, and mini puzzles—has brought new motivation and joy into our classroom. For students who often need an extra push to stay on track, these rewards make their growth visible and their efforts celebrated. One memorable moment came during our first \"Reward Reveal,\" when students eagerly checked their punch cards and proudly chose items from the treasure chest. Students who sometimes struggle with behavior or organization beamed as they earned bracelets, erasers, and Smelly Pencils for meeting expectations in behavior, academics, and preparedness. These small rewards have become powerful tools that reinforce positive habits while building their confidence and sense of belonging.\r\n\r\nAs we continue through the school year, these materials will support our ongoing focus on responsibility, consistent effort, and emotional regulation. The organizational pockets will help students maintain the routines they are learning, and the reward items will continue to motivate them as they work toward academic and behavioral goals. Your support has created a system in which students can clearly see their progress and feel proud of their achievements each day. Thank you for investing in my learners and for believing in the potential of students who simply need the right encouragement, structure, and recognition to shine. Your generosity is helping shape responsible, confident future citizens and we are truly grateful.","fullyFundedDate":1758232422989,"projectUrl":"project/rewarding-learners-who-meetexceed-expec/9585160/","projectTitle":"Rewarding Learners Who Meet/Exceed Expectations in Behavior, Academics & Organization","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Cooke","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp9199773_orig.jpg?crop=481,481,x0,y0&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1728512125347","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9199773"},{"teacherId":5801868,"projectId":9530000,"letterContent":"The supplies provided to my fifth and second grade students have helped tremendously.

The students' faces lit up with excitement, and they were eager to earn \"cash\" for their positive behavior to be able to earn such great prizes.

Students sat up straighter and some even started to change their behavior for a chance to earn one of these great rewards.\r\n\r\nNow that the students know how the reward system works, our next step is reminding students of what great prizes they can earn by practicing self-discipline and responsibility.
