Each morning, we randomly draw 5 \"lucky ducks\" who get to choose a light option to have at their seat. They have to stay focused, and they can't play with the light. Students have commented that they enjoy the way the classroom looks, and they like having the choice on which lighting option they use. They are also working to be responsible by making sure it is plugged in at night so it can be enjoyed again the next day. \r\n\r\nThe large dartboards have increased participation. Students are working for a chance to earn a throw, and sometimes it is just for the bragging rights of having the best throw. Sometimes we create groups and also practice our adding skills as we add the points earned from each throw for each group to find which group had a higher score. Students are more engaged in answering questions, so they have the chance to throw! \r\n\r\nThanks for helping us add these items to our classroom!","fullyFundedDate":1758636596984,"projectUrl":"project/engaging-calming/9661924/","projectTitle":"Engaging & Calming","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Johnson","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/272x272/tp973269_272x272.jpg?width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1472851942254","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/973269"},{"teacherId":973269,"projectId":9594916,"letterContent":"Thank you for providing our classroom with these additional items!

The animal erasers are probably the biggest hit, though all the items have been \"oohed\" and \"aahed\" over. \r\n\r\nThe worry stones and sensory stones have gone into our calm down kit. If someone is feeling strong emotions, they can take a moment and use the items in the bin to help regulate their emotions. I showed the class the different stones and we discussed how it can help regulate our body. Some students really like how they feel and choose to pull them out and rub them. Most students are finding they don't need the calm down kit at this time to help them regulate their emotions, which is also wonderful.\r\n\r\nAgain, thank you for supporting our classroom with these additional items.","fullyFundedDate":1755891678121,"projectUrl":"project/classroom-incentives/9594916/","projectTitle":"Classroom Incentives","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Johnson","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/272x272/tp973269_272x272.jpg?width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1472851942254","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/973269"},{"teacherId":973269,"projectId":9338447,"letterContent":"Thank you for helping our classroom get a refresh for this new year. Because of your generous gifts, we were able to plump up the flat beanbags with additional filling. Students love to sit in these chairs for classroom discussions, reading time, and small group activities. The beanbags are very popular and used multiple times a day. \r\n\r\nWe also were able to get two rechargeable lamps. These lamps help add additional lighting. Some days we keep the overhead lights off. Because of different lighting options in the room, we are able to continue work and still have light! Students are showing responsibility by making sure the lamps are plugged in at the end of the day and then spread out during the day to their different locations. \r\n\r\nThank you for making our classroom an enjoyable place to be for a few more reasons.","fullyFundedDate":1749822551492,"projectUrl":"project/classroom-refresh/9338447/","projectTitle":"Classroom Refresh","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Johnson","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/272x272/tp973269_272x272.jpg?width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1472851942254","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/973269"},{"teacherId":973269,"projectId":9135680,"letterContent":"Thank you again for choosing to sponsor this classroom. The students were so excited to hear that a grant was funded. Because of your gift, we had twelve locks that students could practice solving. \r\n\r\nNext year, this class will be moved to a different building as they enter middle school. One of the changes that happens is that their lockers are not locked with a combination lock. Many students had never tried using a lock before. \r\n\r\nThanks again to your generous gift, our classroom had locks that the students could practice using before the school year ended.

While the printer only prints one color at a time, it is nice to have options!\r\n\r\nMany students appreciate the chance to be creative and design. They have to think through how their design is built online. How will it adhere to the building plate? Are the sizes scaled correctly? There is a lot of math involved!

Students enjoy reading with a flashlight on a weekly basis. Our other flashlights were getting older and some were now broken. Thanks to this grant and your support, we have enough flashlights that each student is able to read with their own flashlight.

The headphones have been put to use right away. The entire class can appreciate the headphones because now the entire room doesn't need to listen in while a student is working online. At this point of the year, some headphones have broken or gotten lost, and my own backups have also been reduced. \r\n\r\nThe pencil grips were a novelty! Many students tried them out the first few days. They enjoyed the different types and various colors. Now that we have been using them for a few weeks, only a few have continued to use this resource. It is nice that it is something that can be offered though for students to try. \r\n\r\nJust today a student was commenting on their handwriting. I was able to suggest they try a pencil grip, and the student was excited to find one in their favorite color. Time will tell if this helps them in the long run, but for today it encouraged them!
