As an inclusion teacher in high school science, I work with students who face a wide range of learning challenges. Many of them struggle with reading, math, and staying motivated in a subject that already feels overwhelming. Because of your generosity, I am now able to offer simple but meaningful rewards—Jolly Ranchers, Wyler drink mixes, Bazooka gum, Starbursts, and Ticonderoga pencils—that help keep my students engaged and willing to push through tough lessons.\r\n\r\nThe moment the students saw the new incentives, they lit up. Several immediately asked how they could earn them, and others were excited just knowing that their effort would be recognized in a fun and positive way. These incentives have already helped me encourage participation during labs, reinforce good habits during independent work, and celebrate small wins for students who often need that extra boost to keep going. For some students, something as small as a favorite candy or a fresh pencil makes a big difference in their confidence and mindset.\r\n\r\nYour support has truly strengthened the positive culture in my classroom. With these incentives in hand, my students are more motivated, more persistent, and more willing to take risks in their learning. Thank you for believing in them and helping create a classroom environment where every student feels encouraged to give their best, even on the hard days.","fullyFundedDate":1763079680513,"projectUrl":"project/science-incentives/9895092/","projectTitle":"Science Incentives","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Martinez","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp10350239_orig.jpg?crop=2316,2316,x0,y0&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1764944370579","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/10350239"},{"teacherId":10348057,"projectId":9889576,"letterContent":"I teach high school algebra to students who didn't pass or take algebra in middle school. Historically my students view math as a negative class. Where there has not been a system of positive rewards.\r\nI am changing that narrative for my students. I have implemented a reward system where students who are engaged can receive \"Bennett Bucks\". The bucks they earn are put into a drawing every Friday. I select five names and those students have the opportunity to select a reward. \r\nThis has changed the culture of my classroom. I have students raising their hands and answering questions.

They are engaged and excited to be a part of the class. \r\nWhen a student answers a question or tries to solve an equation they can earn \"class bucks\". They can use the \"bucks\" to pick a reward in class. They are so engaged and now want to be involved. I am having more positive conversations and experiences with my students.

This has made it easier for students to identify what's working, what needs attention, and how their writing develops as they revise.\r\n\r\nNext steps include continuing to build their editing habits and strengthening their revision process. The highlighters will be used throughout upcoming writing tasks so students can consistently track changes, clarify their ideas, and improve the overall structure of their work. Your support has allowed us to create a clearer, more accessible editing system, and it is already making a noticeable difference in how students approach their writing.","fullyFundedDate":1756212045653,"projectUrl":"project/half-literature-half-debate-all-life/9570732/","projectTitle":"Half Literature, Half Debate - All Life Skills Students Need!","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Whitlock","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp10166805_orig.png?crop=500,500,x0,y0&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1754831368453","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/10166805"},{"teacherId":10165868,"projectId":9889477,"letterContent":"My students were in need of a source of food in the classroom. Many of my students may not have a stable source of nutrition throughout the school day and beyond. I now have a stash of snacks for students who arrive late, or need something to help get them through the day.\r\nIt is almost impossible to learn and stay engaged if you are hungry. That gnawing feeling won't stop and students lose focus, valuable class time and instruction. Having food on hand for students is such a powerful tool.

With my biology students, we explored the properties of water while preparing pasta and limeade using the induction burners. Students experienced the many essential properties of water. After the activity, students were asked to prepare an exit ticket listing and describing the properties demonstrated during meal preparation. I was amazed at how many properties are evident when making something as simple as pasta and limeade. This is just one example of student learning. \r\n\r\n\"solubility: the sugar dissolving in the water\r\nsurface tension: lime zest is floating\r\nadhesion: water condensed on the edge of the bottle\r\ncohesion: the water molecules bonding together\r\nhydrophobic: the oil does not mix with the water\r\nhigh heat capacity: the water takes a while to heat up because its hydrogen bonds are really strong, so the water doesn't start to boil until those bonds are broken\r\ndensity: the ice is less dense because when water freezes, its bonds become more rigid and farther apart, making it less dense.\" \r\n\r\nStudents enthusiastically participated, and they enjoyed applying critical thinking while cooking. Many students expressed that they learn better with hands-on activities and that cooking is fun. They asked to do more cooking. One student asked if we could cook together once a week. \r\n\r\nI enjoyed the opportunity this project provided for me to bond with my students. Many quiet students who are normally reluctant to volunteer were very active during the activity. I love the opportunity to connect with these students. I find that my students are more motivated learners when we have a strong bond. \r\n\r\nThank you for the opportunity to have fun while learning. Your generous donation will help many students understand the beauty of science and the joy of cooking.

Your contribution has truly made a significant, immediate difference in our learning environment, and I'm excited to share how your generosity is already impacting my students.\r\n\r\nThe Impact of Your Resources:\r\nThe items you helped us purchase—especially the Flagship Carpets Area Rug and the new supplies—have fundamentally changed how we use our classroom space.\r\n\r\nWe are now using the beautiful new area rug as a designated, comfortable \"Learning Lounge\" for group work, read-alouds, and focused small-group instruction. We previously had worn-out tile, which made floor seating uncomfortable and distracting. Now, the rug provides a soft, warm spot that naturally draws the students in.\r\n\r\nStudent Reactions and New Tools:\r\nThe students' reaction when they first saw the large, colorful rug rolled out was priceless—they gasped! They immediately took off their shoes and started exploring the space. They were equally thrilled with the abundance of new supplies. The Crayola Take Note Dry Erase Markers have been a game-changer for collaboration on our small whiteboards; they're vibrant and low-odor, making brainstorming sessions much more enjoyable. The Enday #2 Pencils and Paper Mate Flair Felt Pens mean we have fewer distractions and more focused writing time since no one is constantly asking to borrow a pencil or struggling with a dried-out marker. \r\n\r\nWhat's Next for Our Project:\r\n\r\nStudents will be using the new Sharpie Chisel Tip Markers to create large, colorful draft posters and concept maps for their stories.\r\n\r\nThe Learning Lounge (the rug) will be used for students to practice reading their stories aloud and giving peer feedback in a supportive, relaxed environment.\r\n\r\nYour support didn't just provide materials; it provided comfort, organization, and inspiration that will allow my students to reach new creative heights. Thank you again for being a vital part of our classroom community.\r\n\r\nI will be posting pictures for your enjoyment in the upcoming weeks.","fullyFundedDate":1762266430625,"projectUrl":"project/mrs-gollohers-classroom-essentials/9670858/","projectTitle":"Mrs. Golloher's Classroom Essentials","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Golloher","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp10231645_orig.png?crop=1080,1080,x0,y111&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1756480937448","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/10231645"},{"teacherId":10114419,"projectId":9576653,"letterContent":"I am thrilled you picked my class to support.
