Creating a warm, inviting environment makes a world of difference for 6th graders coming into history class every day. Thanks to your kindness, the Haton Stained Glass Rainbow Privacy Film transformed our windows with bright, colorful light, while the Clean Linen Glade PlugIns kept our classroom smelling fresh and homey. Having the Nabisco Team Favorites and RITZ Bits variety packs on hand was such a lifesaver for keeping hungry middle schoolers focused and fueled through our daily social studies lessons.\r\n\r\nYour support also brought in some of the absolute favorite perks in our room: the Minecraft Graphic Novel Boxed Set and a huge bag of Jolly Ranchers! Finding books that genuinely hook 6th graders can be a challenge, but the Minecraft series was an instant hit for early finishers and independent reading time. Paired with a sweet Jolly Rancher reward for history trivia and active participation, these items helped build a vibrant, engaging, and welcoming classroom culture.

They were so focused, motivated, and excited to have something to enjoy while working hard on their exams. Having snacks available truly helped support their energy and concentration throughout testing.\r\n\r\nIt has also been wonderful to see students so excited about science activities. They absolutely loved making slime, and it brought so much joy and engagement into the classroom. In addition, the arts and crafts supplies continue to encourage creativity, collaboration, and hands-on science learning every day.\r\n\r\nMy students are incredibly grateful for all of the supplies and support. Your kindness has helped create a classroom environment where students feel excited to learn, explore, and participate.

One specific moment that stood out was when students realized they could earn better and more meaningful rewards for winning review games. This motivated them to participate more actively, collaborate with peers, and take their learning seriously while still having fun.\r\n\r\nWhen students first saw the materials, they were very excited. They immediately asked questions about how the rewards would work and were eager to start playing. The excitement helped shift their mindset—students began to see that learning science and building knowledge can be enjoyable and rewarding.\r\n\r\nBecause donors contributed to this project, the next steps for my students include using these resources to deepen their understanding of science concepts as we prepare for upcoming lessons and assessments. We will continue using games and review activities to reinforce learning, build confidence, and help students see themselves as capable, motivated learners.","fullyFundedDate":1764600592025,"projectUrl":"project/leveling-up-learning-gamifying-our-scie/9743395/","projectTitle":"Leveling Up Learning: Gamifying Our Science Classroom","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Ignacio","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp9851493_orig.png?crop=418,418,x0,y0&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1757178058427","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9851493"},{"teacherId":9851493,"projectId":9691750,"letterContent":"The new texts introduce important reading skills such as comprehension, vocabulary development, and fluency.

Students have the opportunity to explore books independently, discuss what they've read, and share their thoughts. This time allows them to build confidence and enjoy reading at their own pace.\r\n\r\nStudents who are below grade level have especially enjoyed these new books.
