I have been a teacher for twenty-six years, and the supplies and materials you donated were mainly supplies to motivate my students this year. All have made an incredible impact.\r\n\r\nThe first thing I introduced to my students were the major purchase of the wobbly chairs. All of my students LOVE using them, and they were so excited to see them when I first put them out for the students. We take turns using them throughout the day, but I also use them with a few of my students with ADHD. Sitting on these chairs allow them to be a bit wiggly while still working. They have been a game changer for those few students. \r\n\r\nWe are in the midst of state testing, and my third graders are taking these high-stakes tests for the very first time. The remainder of my purchases have been used for testing incentives. Each morning of testing, I have given my students a trinket along with a saying to go along with it. A few of the sayings are: \"Calm your jitters with these cute critters\" (when I gave them a squishy animal), \"You will do a SCENT-sational job on the test (a smelly pencil to use during testing), \"You've got the WRITE stuff\" (another class favorite SMENCIL), and \"All work and then PLAY\" (for the play-doh canisters). After testing, we used the Play-doh to have some art challenges in class. We all had a blast. Several students have kept their little tags all together and continue to read them after the test. A few students also said testing was fun because of the fun prizes they received each day. Thank you for making that happen!\r\n\r\nI hope this trend can continue in years to come, to give prizes and motivate students to do well during a stressful few days for them.
