Thank you for donating so this project was fully funded.\r\n\r\nI am truly grateful for your generosity and support and was thrilled to receive these items that will help motivate and reward the children I teach.\r\n\r\nI placed some of the items for the treasure box into my treasure box and the next day I had three children fill their reward chart. It was so much fun to see the children's eyes light up when they saw the new additions added to the treasure box.\r\nThen when I made their new reward chart with the new charts included in this project, they made them excited and had other children wanting to fill their charts so they could get a new one.\r\n\r\nThe stickers for motivating and rewards are super great. They are putting smiles on the faces of the children who have already received them. I love that a simple sticker can help encourage a child and give them something positive to work for and bring joy to their lives.","fullyFundedDate":1767240705767,"projectUrl":"project/rewards-for-excellent-work-motivation/9830316/","projectTitle":"Rewards for Excellent Work, Motivation, and Positive Behavior","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Rowland","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp1738145_orig.jpg?crop=360,360,x0,y36&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1604519398017","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/rowland-linda"},{"teacherId":1738145,"projectId":9829498,"letterContent":"Thank you for donating to this project, I appreciate your generosity and thoughtfulness.\r\n\r\nHaving a clean and germ-free environment is important to me, my children, and their families. I strive to help the children I teach to stay healthy and help prevent sickness.\r\nWe can do this by making sure we wash hands and sanitize frequently.\r\n\r\nThe children were happy to see that we received the electronic device wipes, these are especially great to have on hand since we share some many electronic devices in our classroom. After use the children can grab a wipe and give the devices a quick wipe down. \r\n\r\nWe also received hand sanitizer wipes. Having these hand sanitizer wipes for our hands is a plus for when we are sharing devices and also just for everyday cleanliness and great for after our art experiences.\r\n\r\nDoing everything I can, to keep a healthy space for the children I teach is an important key to our success.

They immediately wanted to know when they would be able to use these items. I gave them some of the model magic right then to go ahead and play with. \r\n\r\nThe model magic was an immediate hit; we had just recently completed a unit on animal adaptations so the some of the children were creating animals with their clay, I had a few who were using the clay to spell out words, and some were just enjoying the feel and making whatever with it.\r\n\r\nWhen I set up our sensory stations these items will be enjoyed by the children in my class and others will be able to come in and utilize the stations as well.
