My students absolutely LOVE the snacks and we have been using them as incentives for scoring 100s on their exit tickets. This was a student decision and a great class motivator. When student get 100 on an exit ticket they get to play PLINKO and each number is a different prize. They are always hoping for a 4 to get a snack that they are free to eat in my classroom. \r\n\r\nWe hope to continue this for the remainder of the year to help keep spirits up and class fun!","fullyFundedDate":1786828611495,"projectUrl":"project/keeping-bellies-full-and-brains-engaged/10405602/","projectTitle":"Keeping Bellies Full and Brains Engaged","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Biggs","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp6283185_orig.jpg?crop=1:1,smart&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1551052238931","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/6283185"},{"teacherId":6283185,"projectId":10365946,"letterContent":"Thank you so much for your generosity and care for our classroom. My students were so excited to see boxes of supplies to help kick off our new school year. We have been using the yellow paper to print out homework assignments, conference reminders and early finisher packs to help push our kids for end of year. \r\n\r\nI started a trade in system for pencils and students trade their pencil for a new sharpened pencil. It eliminates a lot of pencil sharpener trips and they are actually trading their pencils to keep them back in cycle, which then makes the pencil cap erasers come in handy. Everything is self serve in my 5th grade class to limit disruptions. We are incredibly thankful for all the donors at donors choose.","fullyFundedDate":1784821547462,"projectUrl":"project/new-school-year-restock/10365946/","projectTitle":"New School Year Restock","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Biggs","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp6283185_orig.jpg?crop=1:1,smart&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1551052238931","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/6283185"},{"teacherId":3784488,"projectId":10061190,"letterContent":"Providing headphones for my students had a meaningful impact on their ability to learn independently and stay focused in the classroom. Many of our digital learning activities require students to listen to directions, instructional videos, read-alouds, and interactive lessons. Having their own headphones allowed students to hear clearly without distractions and without interrupting the learning of others.\r\n\r\nWith headphones available, students were able to work at their own pace, revisit challenging concepts, and take greater ownership of their learning. They were able to use technology as a tool for practice, enrichment, and intervention while remaining focused on their individual learning goals.\r\n\r\nYour donation helped create a more focused, inclusive, and engaging learning environment where every student has the opportunity to use technology successfully.

Because of your support, my students were able to take science beyond the classroom and participate in an after-school model rocket club. Students worked in small groups to learn about the parts of a rocket, how rockets work, and important launch and safety procedures before building rockets of their own.\r\n\r\nThe excitement these materials created was incredible. For many of my students, this was their first opportunity to actually build and launch a model rocket. They had to follow directions carefully, solve problems when something didn't work as planned, collaborate with their teammates, and then finally see all of that work pay off when their rockets left the launch pad. Concepts that can sometimes feel abstract in a textbook suddenly became very real when students could watch forces, motion, aerodynamics, and engineering happening right in front of them.\r\n\r\nMost importantly, this project gave my students a chance to see themselves as scientists and engineers. The rockets gave us a hands-on experience they will remember long after the school year is over, and they have already helped build excitement for the STEM projects and investigations we will continue doing together. Thank you for giving my students the opportunity to learn by building, experimenting, launching, and occasionally looking very, very far up into the sky!","fullyFundedDate":1774617624705,"projectUrl":"project/from-classroom-to-the-stratosphere/10137524/","projectTitle":"From Classroom to the Stratosphere","teacherDisplayName":"Mr. Hollinger","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp5472241_orig.jpg?crop=337,337,x194,y14&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1750376067652","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/5472241"},{"teacherId":3711532,"projectId":9322445,"letterContent":"Thank you so much for providing my students with whiteboards, erasers and snacks.
