This has even extended into helping them organizing their collaborative discussions, written responses, and provided additional support for students to reflect on standards that they need more help with. \r\n\r\nThe thermal stickers are used weekly in the classroom.

Gloves and aprons mean every student can take part in labs safely and professionally. When students first saw the materials, they were excited and a little amazed. Several asked, \"Are we really going to use all of this?\" and they couldn't wait to get started.\r\n\r\nNext, students will use what they've learned to work through a case study in which they act as medical detectives, using lab results and patient data to figure out the cause of a mystery illness.

As soon as I unboxed the machine and explained that we could now create custom, high-quality stickers right here in our library, their eyes lit up with excitement. They gathered around, eager to see how it worked, and were immediately mesmerized as the machine printed out vibrant, custom-designed badges. The novelty of having a professional-grade sticker maker brought a fresh wave of energy into the space, turning a simple reward system into a school-wide sensation.\r\n\r\nWe have integrated the sticker printer directly into our reading incentives, and it has transformed student engagement. To celebrate literacy, students earn unique, custom-designed stickers whenever they complete reading challenges, hit genre milestones, or share thoughtful book reviews. Recently, we held a \"Genre Explorer\" project where students designed their own badge graphics representing various book genres—from sci-fi to historical fiction—after completing a set number of titles. Seeing their own artwork and achievements printed into physical stickers that they can display on their water bottles, notebooks, and library folders has created immense pride and enthusiasm around reading.\r\n\r\nLooking ahead, our students are taking their involvement with this technology to the next level. For our upcoming project, classes will be working on a collaborative book recommendation initiative where students write short reviews for their peers and design custom sticker QR codes that link directly to their digital book trailers. This experience is not only motivating them to read more broadly, but it is also teaching them valuable design, digital literacy, and technology skills that extend far beyond our library walls.","fullyFundedDate":1789261448286,"projectUrl":"project/reading-rewards-inspiring-a-love-of-boo/10628495/","projectTitle":"Reading Rewards: Inspiring a Love of Books","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Pirrone","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-1_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/10662281"},{"teacherId":10050045,"projectId":10362229,"letterContent":"This project has brought so much excitement and positive energy into our classroom!

They immediately wanted to know how they could earn them, and the variety of choices has made it possible for students to find something they enjoy. The fidget toys have been especially helpful because they can also serve as tools for students who benefit from having something in their hands while they focus.\r\n\r\nAs we continue through the school year, students will be tackling increasingly challenging reading, writing, and collaborative activities in ELA.
