Your kindness truly made a difference, not only in providing tangible items for my students, but in creating an environment where they feel seen, supported, and celebrated. It means so much to know that people outside our classroom care about their success.\r\n\r\nWe are using the snacks to support focused work days, especially during challenging lessons and review sessions. Having a small snack available has helped students stay energized and engaged during class. The trinkets and stickers have become part of our classroom reward system. I use them to celebrate academic growth, thoughtful participation, and perseverance when tackling difficult problems. One special moment was during a recent review activity when students earned stickers for explaining their reasoning at the board. The room was full of encouragement, and even students who are usually hesitant were excited to participate. The small incentives helped build confidence in a big way.\r\n\r\nAs we move forward, we are continuing our current unit with collaborative problem solving and student led discussions. The next steps include a group based project where students will apply what they've learned to real world scenarios and present their solutions. The donated items will continue to be used to recognize effort, growth, and teamwork throughout the process. Your support is helping create a positive, motivated classroom culture where students feel encouraged to take academic risks.\r\n\r\nThank you again for investing in my students. Your generosity has made our classroom brighter and more joyful.","fullyFundedDate":1765502040217,"projectUrl":"project/incentive-based-strategies-to-increase-m/9768752/","projectTitle":"Incentive-Based Strategies to Increase Math Achievement","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Fuller","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-5_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9606949"},{"teacherId":9606949,"projectId":9509334,"letterContent":"Thank you so much for your generous support of our classroom. Your contribution has provided us with a classroom set of calculators, which will make a tremendous impact on students' ability to explore math with confidence. Having reliable access to calculators ensures that every student can fully participate in lessons, focus on problem-solving, and build deeper understanding without barriers.\r\nWe are also incredibly grateful for the storage caddy that now keeps our calculators organized, accessible, and protected. This addition may seem small, but it makes a big difference in keeping our materials cared for and ready to use each day. The organization system helps create smoother classroom routines and allows students to quickly gather what they need to succeed.\r\nAlong with these items, your donation of colored pencils and file organizers bring both structure and creativity into our learning space. The colored pencils are perfect for visual problem-solving, graphing activities, and projects that help students deepen their understanding in engaging ways. The file organizer keeps our student materials tidy and easily accessible, helping maintain an efficient and welcoming classroom environment. Thank you again for investing in our students' learning—you have truly helped strengthen our classroom community.","fullyFundedDate":1759007534335,"projectUrl":"project/stocking-the-classroom-for-success/9509334/","projectTitle":"Stocking The Classroom For Success","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Fuller","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-5_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9606949"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_47101","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":1479,"numTeachers":71,"percentFrplEligible":68,"percentAsian":1,"percentBlack":23,"percentWhite":21,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":46,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"9 - 12","studentTeacherRatio":"20.8:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"URBAN","ncesMetroType":"CITY_SMALL"},"inStateSupporters":64.8,"schoolId":47101,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Booker High School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Booker High School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/florida/sarasota-county-school-district/booker-high-school/47101"}
