Each month the students in 20 classrooms who earn this reward through the required positive behavior choices are given the rewards. Our students work hard to be best they can be and have shared that they love getting the extras in class.","fullyFundedDate":1756409917784,"projectUrl":"project/stem-stars-rising-high-above/9635459/","projectTitle":"STEM STARS Rising High Above","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Caudill","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp10208815_orig.jpg?crop=1:1,smart&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1755741831013","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/10208815"},{"teacherId":5768171,"projectId":9547383,"letterContent":"Thank you so much for supporting my project! Your generosity has made a real difference in my third-grade classroom.\r\n\r\nThe flexible seating options you funded have transformed how we learn together. Students now have choices of the cushions and the sitting desks, in addition to their seats and the tables in my classroom. I've noticed they're more engaged, more comfortable, and better able to focus on their work as they are able to move to the seating that best fits their needs. It's amazing how a simple change in seating can spark such positive energy in the room.\r\n\r\nBeyond that, the laminating pouches and paper supplies have been game-changers. I'm have been able to create durable, colorful resources that my students can use again and again; including flashcards, personalized anchor charts, math manipulative, and learning centers that actually hold up to daily classroom life. These materials help me differentiate instruction and keep lessons fresh and engaging for all my learners.\r\n\r\nYour investment in our classroom shows my students that people care about their education and growth.

Some of the parents have texted me back saying thank you for the photos and that they enjoyed seeing them so much! Playing BINGO this week has been a huge success especially with the weather that we have in Ohio and not being able to play outside. They have enjoyed playing BINGO!

I heard lots of \"oooohhhh what did you get?\" or \"What does yours look like?\" or \"I got this one.\" They really loved the ornaments and how they could also put them on their book bags after Christmas. The students were also looking forward to reading the Snowmen at Christmas book and wanted to share it with their siblings. Everyone was just very happy and I appreciated it all so much!
