We now have more extrinsic rewards for students who are motivated to do better through such incentives. I also have more fidgets to provide to students who struggle to sit for longer periods of time and to stay focused. In addition, I have extra curriculum materials to help improve how I reach students with specific learning disabilities.\r\n\r\nI love being able to motivate students through positive reinforcement. Who doesn't look forward to earning something after working hard? I think most students do, even though some are satisfied with praise alone. It's nice to have options such as squishy toys, stickers, and special erasers.\r\n\r\nMany students are required to sit in one place for long periods of time. Additionally, quite a few are diagnosed with ADHD and need something in their hands or at their feet to help them focus on their learning. It could be a bounce band attached to the legs of a chair, a wiggle cushion, or a chew necklace to help with nervous habits.\r\n\r\nI would love to understand more about my students with specific learning disabilities, such as dyslexia, and the books that I received through DonorsChoose will help me become more informed. I now have a few extra curriculum support workbooks to provide reading comprehension guides along with spelling activities.\r\n\r\nI know that everything gifted to my students and our classroom will be put to good use. I hope you know how much it means to have this extra support.","fullyFundedDate":1768311060943,"projectUrl":"project/tools-for-building-fun-strategies/10009392/","projectTitle":"Tools for Building Fun Strategies!","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Russell","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp8110569_orig.jpg?crop=1:1,smart&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1756237240251","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/8110569"},{"teacherId":7517677,"projectId":9997296,"letterContent":"Since receiving these materials, my students have been noticeably more engaged during our ELL pull-out sessions. I have watched them truly blossom. Students who were once shy and hesitant to speak are now working together, encouraging one another, and taking risks with their language. The Build a Sentence game and the Morning Meeting Communication Chips have quickly become favorites. These tools give my students the structure and confidence they need to express themselves, practice complete sentences, and participate in conversations in a safe and supportive way. \r\n\r\nOne of my favorite moments happened during a small-group activity when a student who usually only gave one-word responses used the sentence game to build and read a full sentence aloud to the group. The other students immediately cheered for him, and he beamed with pride. Moments like that are happening more and more. These resources have helped turn language practice into something interactive and joyful rather than intimidating. \r\n\r\nWe will continue using these materials daily to build speaking skills, social communication, and academic vocabulary. Your generosity has not only provided tools, but it has also helped my students find their voices.","fullyFundedDate":1768150277837,"projectUrl":"project/small-groups-big-voices/9997296/","projectTitle":"Small Groups, Big Voices","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Payne","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp7517677_orig.jpg?crop=588,588,x0,y23&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1699023465058","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/7517677"},{"teacherId":9368934,"projectId":8035633,"letterContent":"Thank you very much for your generous donations of the basketball materials.
