Thanks to your kindness, we now have crayons, laminating sheets, markers, and Lysol wipes—simple items that make an enormous difference in our day-to-day learning environment.\r\n\r\nThese materials are far more than classroom supplies. The crayons and markers help my students express themselves, build fine motor skills, and engage more deeply with hands-on activities. The laminating sheets allow me to create durable visual supports, schedules, and learning tools that my students can use repeatedly as they develop confidence and independence. The Lysol wipes help us maintain a clean, safe, and healthy space—something especially important for our young learners who benefit from a predictable and hygienic environment.\r\n\r\nYour support directly impacts my students' ability to learn, participate, and thrive. It brings color to our lessons, structure to our routines, and comfort to our classroom community.

A bean bag was a safe cozy place to rest when overwhelmed, or to get some deep pressure when overstimulated. \r\nThese tools made such a difference for our students and they are such great quality that they can be used for next year, too.

The positive reinforcement has motivated students to engage more actively in learning activities and transitions, making sessions more productive.

Thanks to your contributions of edible reinforcements, we have been able to create a more engaging and supportive learning environment that has significantly increased our students' ability to sit, attend to tasks, and actively participate in classroom activities.\r\n\r\nWhen the reinforcements were introduced, the students' excitement and enthusiasm were heartwarming. For many of our students, motivation plays a critical role in their ability to focus and learn. One unforgettable moment was during a small group activity when a student, who previously struggled to remain seated for even a few minutes, completed an entire task with the help of the edible reinforcements as motivators. It was a remarkable step forward in their progress.\r\n\r\nThese reinforcements have been instrumental during lessons, transitions, and even social interactions. For example, during circle time, students who once found it challenging to engage now actively participate, knowing they are working towards a preferred reinforcement. This small but powerful addition has made a world of difference in their confidence and willingness to engage in the classroom setting.\r\n\r\nLooking ahead, we are incorporating these reinforcements into larger projects that focus on skill-building and group participation. One upcoming activity involves collaborative play, where students will practice sharing, turn-taking, and communication while working towards their chosen reinforcements. This approach not only strengthens their academic and social skills but also helps foster a sense of accomplishment and belonging.\r\n\r\nYour support has provided us with a tool that has directly impacted our students' ability to learn and thrive. On behalf of our class, thank you for believing in their potential and for helping us create an environment where every small success builds toward greater achievements.","fullyFundedDate":1729440109909,"projectUrl":"project/edible-reinforcements-enhancing-behavio/8886838/","projectTitle":"Edible Reinforcements: Enhancing Behavior Through Motivational Rewards","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Harding","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp4880247_orig.jpg?crop=1:1,smart&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1706836873117","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/l-harding"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_59127","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":459,"numTeachers":32,"percentFrplEligible":86,"percentAsian":0,"percentBlack":20,"percentWhite":5,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":59,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"K - 5","studentTeacherRatio":"14.3:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"URBAN","ncesMetroType":"CITY_MIDSIZE"},"inStateSupporters":52.4,"schoolId":59127,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Veazie Street Elementary School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Veazie Street Elementary School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/rhode-island/providence-public-school-district/veazie-street-school/59127"}
