The dry-erase boards have become a favorite tool for interactive lessons—students love using them to solve problems, share ideas, and collaborate in real time. These boards have made it easier for students to participate without fear of making mistakes, and they've helped build confidence and a stronger sense of community in the classroom.\r\nThe 3D printer has been the most exciting addition. Students are fascinated by the ability to design and create their own personalized rewards, from keychains to nameplates. It's not just a fun tool—it's a powerful motivator. One student who often struggled with staying on task has become one of our most focused learners, driven by the opportunity to earn time designing on the printer. This technology has sparked creativity, encouraged goal-setting, and given students a tangible way to celebrate their achievements.","fullyFundedDate":1739366809673,"projectUrl":"project/rewarding-success-building-a-positive-c/8977744/","projectTitle":"Rewarding Success: Building a Positive Classroom Culture","teacherDisplayName":"Mr. Leyva","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp7540368_orig.jpg?crop=1072,1072,x0,y121&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1600493430847","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/7540368"},{"teacherId":8278513,"projectId":9349420,"letterContent":"Thank you so much for your generous donation!
