In our small-group Accelerated Learning session, the fidgets have already made a noticeable difference. Students who often struggle to stay focused during challenging math lessons now have a healthy outlet to manage restlessness and anxiety. One student who normally shuts down during multi-step problems quietly grabbed a fidget, took a moment to breathe, and completed his work with confidence. This is something he later said he didn't think he could do.\r\n\r\nThe incentives have also boosted motivation. Students love earning small rewards for staying on task, participating, and pushing through difficult concepts. These tools may seem small, but they have created a more positive, encouraging environment where students feel supported and capable. As we continue working through our current unit and prepare for STAAR, resources are helping students build focus, confidence, and the belief that their effort truly pays off.","fullyFundedDate":1758790027888,"projectUrl":"project/small-tools-big-impact-motivating-my-s/9755418/","projectTitle":"Small Tools, Big Impact: Motivating My Students","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Biscoe","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp9998605_orig.jpg?crop=1:1,smart&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1744508063526","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9998605"},{"teacherId":9851045,"projectId":9105157,"letterContent":"Thanks to your generous support, our classroom has been transformed into a more engaging, supportive, and clean learning environment!
