Through our ClassDojo system, students earn points throughout the day for demonstrating positive behaviors such as teamwork, kindness, responsibility, and hard work. These Dojo points are then redeemed for prizes that reflect their effort and dedication, helping students see a direct connection between their actions and positive outcomes.\r\n\r\nHaving a variety of prize options allows every student to find something that excites them, making the reward system inclusive and motivating for all learners. The process of earning and saving Dojo points to \"purchase\" rewards encourages goal setting, patience, and self-control—valuable life skills that go hand in hand with academic success.\r\n\r\nYour support doesn't just fund fun classroom prizes—it helps build a stronger, more supportive learning community. Students feel proud of their progress, inspired to continue making great choices, and excited to be part of a classroom where effort and kindness are celebrated every day.","fullyFundedDate":1762112851593,"projectUrl":"project/classroom-prize-paradise/9870168/","projectTitle":"Classroom Prize Paradise!","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Wheatley","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp9223640_orig.jpg?crop=1:1,smart&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1692999070653","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9223640"},{"teacherId":4965886,"projectId":9421823,"letterContent":"Thank you so much for helping bring this project to life.

Students sit on it to partner read, choose to sit on the carpet during math time rather than stay at their seats, practice spelling words on whiteboards while sitting on the carpet during student choice time, and come to the carpet to hear directions, listen to read alouds, and during instructional time. We even had guest mystery readers come in during March is Reading Month and this carpet is large enough to fit all my students, so they were able to enjoy the experience. We truly use it all day.

In funding this project, you've provided my students and I with a place we use daily to build community, share ideas, and learn from one another. We sit together and have \"math talks,\" where students share their thinking about math and learn so much from one another. We read books, talk about our writing, learn lessons about being kind, and so much more. Our carpet is a pivotal spot in our classroom where we meet daily to grow and learn from one another.
