Your support has made such a meaningful difference for both me and my students. These organization stations have helped create a more structured and welcoming space where students can take pride in their learning environment.\r\nThe organization stations have made it so much easier for students to know exactly where things go. Instead of spending time searching for papers or materials, they can quickly find what they need and stay focused on learning. It's been such a wonderful time saver and has helped our classroom run more efficiently. Most importantly, it has encouraged students to take ownership of keeping their space tidy and organized.

Your donations helped bring excitement, motivation, and joy into our classroom all year long. With your generosity, we were able to stock up on small prizes and treats that made a big difference in encouraging positive behavior, effort, and perseverance among our young learners.\r\n\r\nThe students absolutely light up when they earn a reward, whether it's a sticker, a pencil, or a tiny toy. Each prize means a great deal to them because it represents their hard work and good decisions. I've seen students set goals, cheer each other on, and beam with pride when their efforts are recognized. These small rewards have created a sense of accomplishment and confidence that motivates them to keep trying their best every day.\r\n\r\nBecause of your support, our classroom feels even more joyful and encouraging. The students have learned that hard work pays off and that every success, big or small, deserves to be celebrated.

Your generous donations made it possible to transform our hallway into a joyful, winter wonderland filled with lights, decorations, and festive displays. It truly felt like stepping into a storybook, and that moment of wonder was something none of us will ever forget.\r\n\r\nThroughout the season, the hallway became more than just a space; it became a place of imagination, laughter, and shared joy. Students loved walking through each day, spotting new decorations, and proudly showing their families what we created together. It brought a sense of togetherness and belonging that helped make the season extra special.\r\n\r\nBecause of your support, we were able to give our youngest learners a memory they'll carry for years to come, one filled with magic, warmth, and creativity.

The shelves are now filled with colorful stories that spark curiosity and imagination. The students love exploring new titles, sharing their favorite characters with friends, and finding cozy corners to read in. Our classroom has become a place where reading feels exciting and meaningful, not just something we do for school, but something we choose to do for fun.\r\n\r\nI've noticed how much more often students reach for books during free choice and even ask to take them home. It's been wonderful to see how confident and eager they've become as readers.

Your contributions have provided students their individual testing nooks and safe spaces to test. Student spirits have been boosted through words of affirmations found on the protectors, along with scratch and sniff stickers. In addition, the students have been excited/motivated by new incentives and/or prizes. \r\nA class game changer has been the classroom doorbell. Immediately, students were quiet as they recognized a new noise in their classroom. They expressed how they enjoy having this as our new attention getter some students have even taken initiative to remind me of the \"door bell.\" Furthermore, students in our class have been collaborating to build STEM Projects that include but are not limited to rubber band cars, bridges, and towers. The hot glue guns, and glue sticks have been assisting them in their unique creations. It is always amazing to witness their creativity when providing them the tools needed to excel in their projects.

This year has been exceptionally difficult as we transition into a new classroom model of \"pods.\" This required myself and another teacher to be in a class of 44 students. We share the space and our resources, but with budget cuts it has become difficult to provide these special spaces for our students. \r\n\r\nThis project helped to fund a nice library section in our class that our students have thoroughly enjoyed. The bookshelves helped us to organize and categorize all our books. The rugs helped us to create a comfortable and warm space for them to read. Having this environment encourages our students to read more as they get to lie down or sit with friends in this area. \r\n\r\nAgain, thank you so much for your support.

This has minimized the spread of germs found in the classroom. \r\n\r\nIn addition, the students have also been in the holiday spirit. We have been creating holiday keepsake ornaments, and bracelets as hands-on art projects. The students are enthusiastic to create something they could proudly display in their homes during the holiday time. This has lead them to share countless stories of holiday's past in which they've shared they still have certain artwork they've made throughout the years during the holidays. I am glad to hear this will now be one of those stories. \r\n\r\nLastly, bracelet making have served as an art project, and calm activity. I learned that students truly benefit from creating as many still struggle with fine motor skills. Bracelet making provides them the practice needed to improve in this area. Furthermore, it reinforces patterns and sequence in a fun hands-on way. Once again thank you for your generosity.","fullyFundedDate":1732405352839,"projectUrl":"project/holiday-projects-keepsakes-and-incenti/8957774/","projectTitle":"Holiday Projects, Keepsakes, and Incentives","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. C","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-2_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9077702"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_7270","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":2738,"numTeachers":null,"percentFrplEligible":95,"percentAsian":0,"percentBlack":0,"percentWhite":0,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":98,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"Pre-K - 12","studentTeacherRatio":null,"demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"SUBURBAN","ncesMetroType":"CITY_LARGE"},"inStateSupporters":79.5,"schoolId":7270,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Vaughn Next Century Learning Center on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Vaughn Next Century Learning Center","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/california/los-angeles-unified-school-district/vaughn-next-century-learning-ctr/7270"}
