Students read short passages, discuss real-life scenarios, and connect what they learn directly to their daily lives.\r\n\r\nA few students have especially embraced these lessons—one now proudly saves part of his weekly rewards, and another loves that the books make her feel \"grown-up\" and capable.\r\n\r\nYour support is helping our students build confidence, independence, and real-world skills.

The rewards, like snacks and small items, transformed abstract academic goals into concrete, desirable targets. This was impactful for students who previously struggled with reading; the prospect of earning \"halos\" and redeeming them at the store provided the necessary motivation to practice and improve their reading skills. The result was a significant increase in reading proficiency, with even reluctant readers making progress.\r\nThe store is a focal point of excitement and positive reinforcement, fostering a vibrant and engaging classroom environment. Students are eager to participate in activities and demonstrate their learning, knowing that their efforts would be rewarded. The \"halos\" acted as a tangible measure of their progress and achievement, building their confidence and fostering a sense of accomplishment. The positive association with the classroom, driven by the reward system, transformed it into a favorite among students.\r\n\r\nYour donations went beyond providing mere material rewards. They served as a catalyst for academic growth and a powerful tool for fostering a love of learning. By creating a fun and engaging environment, you helped students overcome their reading challenges and develop a positive attitude towards education. The tangible connection between effort and reward, made possible by your support, made a profound difference in the lives of these students, and for that, we are deeply grateful.","fullyFundedDate":1739983280502,"projectUrl":"project/rewards-and-incentives-to-participate-in/8970759/","projectTitle":"Rewards and Incentives to Participate In Class","teacherDisplayName":"Mr. Renzo","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp7595497_orig.jpg?crop=1:1,smart&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1651379508199","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/7595497"},{"teacherId":9131723,"projectId":8773406,"letterContent":"Thank you so much for your generous gifts to our classroom!

During my Breathe for Change training, I gained invaluable insights into mindfulness, self-care, and social-emotional learning (SEL). It directly impacted my ability to create a positive and supportive learning environment for our students.\r\n\r\nThe highlight of the event were practices manage stress and a deeper understanding of how to guide my students through emotional challenges. I left the training feeling equipped to handle the demands of teaching with greater patience and empathy.\r\n\r\nOne example that I have used in my classroom is a simple breathing exercise we practiced during the training. It's called the \"5-4-3-2-1 grounding technique,\" which helps students become aware of their surroundings and bring themselves back to the present moment. In a chaotic or stressful situation, I can guide my students to pause, take a deep breath, and use their senses to focus on the present. This tool will be especially helpful for students dealing with anxiety or overwhelming emotions, helping them self-regulate and refocus on their learning.","fullyFundedDate":1726661375897,"projectUrl":"project/breathe-for-change-the-next-level-to-co/8705376/","projectTitle":"Breathe for Change: the Next Level to Compassion and Healing","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Judy","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp7831742_orig.jpg?crop=750,750,x0,y292&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1619804169108","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/7831742"},{"teacherId":9410916,"projectId":8104829,"letterContent":"Thank you so much for your generous donation that provided food and maracas for my high school Spanish class! \r\n\r\nThe refreshments you provided made a big impact.
