I am thrilled—and honestly, a little overwhelmed—to share that your generous donations have already led to great improvements in student behavior and work habits across our classroom.\r\n\r\nBefore receiving the materials, we struggled with focus and assignment follow-through. Now, since putting the incentive system into place, I have observed a significant and measurable shift:\r\n\r\nBehavior: Classroom disruptions have decreased, allowing us to spend more time on hands-on learning and less time on redirection. Students are actively coaching each other and holding themselves accountable.\r\n\r\nWork Habits: Our assignment completion rate has improved, and students are showing increased pride in the quality of their work as they strive for recognition. The consistent, achievable goals have made learning more engaging and rewarding for everyone.\r\n\r\nThe funds you provided allowed us to purchase the incentives that make this system work. Seeing the students light up as they earn a reward or a shout-out confirms that your investment wasn't just in supplies, but in creating a genuinely more focused, respectful, and productive learning environment.\r\n\r\nFrom the bottom of my heart, thank you for being a champion for my students. You are making a profound, long-lasting difference every single day.","fullyFundedDate":1747196825579,"projectUrl":"project/incentive-items-to-celebrate-student-suc/9296306/","projectTitle":"Incentive Items to Celebrate Student Success","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Robinson","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/272x272/tp3358874_272x272.jpg?width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1502472764348","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/3358874"},{"teacherId":3356826,"projectId":9253998,"letterContent":"Thank you for making it possible for my students to experience a new instrument in my classroom.

My 5th graders were so happy that they were able to take these homes at the end of the school year.
