The computer mice allow the students to also draw on the laptop as well as navigate easier than through the tracking pad. These allow me to serve a myriad of students with different abilities. I always want to give them the ability to show what they know in whatever way works for them when you provided these supplies, you made it easier for me to do that for my students.

The expanded variety not only increased their excitement but also gave them a greater sense of ownership and pride in the rewards they were working toward.\r\nAs students earned classroom cash through positive behavior, academic achievement, and personal growth, the enhanced store options made their efforts feel even more meaningful. Many students expressed increased determination to meet classroom expectations, knowing their hard work would lead to valued and personalized rewards. This positive reinforcement system strengthened our classroom culture, encouraged goal‑setting, and helped students develop responsibility, self‑management, and financial literacy skills.\r\nOverall, the donations made a tangible difference—transforming our student store into a powerful motivational tool and creating joyful, memorable experiences for every learner in our classroom.","fullyFundedDate":1755521951440,"projectUrl":"project/foster-learning-through-student-store/9496543/","projectTitle":"Foster Learning through Student Store!","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Turk","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp9855059_orig.jpg?crop=240,240,x0,y40&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1733251261255","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/mrs-cturk"},{"teacherId":7864488,"projectId":9404961,"letterContent":"Our class has had a couple of opportunities to play the games that were donated.

Each day, students begin class by using the sleeves to practice their math facts through repetition—a strategy that builds both fluency and confidence. After completing their warm-up, they simply erase their work, making the materials ready for the next group of learners.\r\nThis system has not only enhanced student engagement but also significantly reduced our paper usage. Instead of printing the same worksheets repeatedly, we now have a sustainable and efficient way to reinforce key skills.

These hands-on tools have allowed students to move beyond abstract concepts and engage in tactile learning, constructing prisms, pyramids, and other complex shapes with ease and enthusiasm. The visual and physical interaction with geometry has sparked curiosity and deepened comprehension, especially for students who benefit from kinesthetic and visual learning styles. Your support has made it possible for every student to explore geometry in a way that feels accessible, engaging, and fun.\r\nThe impact of these materials extends beyond the math classroom. Students have developed stronger spatial reasoning, collaborative problem-solving skills, and confidence in their ability to tackle challenging concepts. Teachers have reported increased participation and excitement during geometry lessons, with students often asking to use the tiles during free time or in other subjects. Your investment in their education has not only enhanced academic achievement but also fostered a love for learning that will carry forward into future STEM opportunities. We are deeply grateful for your commitment to empowering young minds.","fullyFundedDate":1739368337486,"projectUrl":"project/empower-our-geometry-learners-with-magne/8985567/","projectTitle":"Empower Our Geometry Learners With Magnetic Shape Tiles!","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Turk","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp9855059_orig.jpg?crop=240,240,x0,y40&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1733251261255","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/mrs-cturk"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_54977","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":1267,"numTeachers":53,"percentFrplEligible":43,"percentAsian":8,"percentBlack":6,"percentWhite":25,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":47,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","percentHawaiianImputed":1,"percentMultiracialImputed":10,"gradesServed":"6 - 8","studentTeacherRatio":"23.9:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":false,"metroType":"SUBURBAN","ncesMetroType":"SUBURB_LARGE"},"inStateSupporters":78.1,"schoolId":54977,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Shivela Middle School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Shivela Middle School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/california/murrieta-valley-unified-school-district/shivela-middle-school/54977"}
