One of the most impactful additions has been the Positive Affirmation Posters, proudly displayed in the classroom. It sets the tone each day, reminding students that they are capable, valued, and seen.\r\n\r\nWhen students first saw the poster, they immediately gravitated toward it—reading the messages aloud, pointing out their favorite affirmations, and even taking selfies with their favorite quotes! One student said, \"This makes me feel like I'm walking into a place where I matter.\" That moment alone was worth everything.\r\n\r\nA recent project tied directly to this resource involved a class activity where students created their own affirmation cards. Inspired by the poster, they wrote uplifting messages for their peers and decorated them with their personal flair. These cards are now part of our \"Encouragement Wall,\" which continues to grow.\r\n\r\nNext steps? Our students are working on a collaborative bulletin board project titled \"What I Believe About Me.\" They'll incorporate lessons on self-esteem, goal setting, and professional identity—all supported by the positive tone set by the materials you helped provide.\r\n\r\nThank you for helping us build not just better learners, but stronger, more confident individuals. Your support is felt every single day.","fullyFundedDate":1748459908337,"projectUrl":"project/inspire-me/9101302/","projectTitle":"Inspire Me!","teacherDisplayName":"Dr. Kevin Carter","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp8621332_orig.jpg?crop=2038,2038,x0,y6&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1726535475396","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/8621332"},{"teacherId":9571379,"projectId":8889129,"letterContent":"The addition of pulse oximeters, timers, and thermometers had a significant impact on our Health Science class by enhancing hands-on learning and clinical skill development.
