With these classroom management tools, students have learned how to regulate their voices, focus their attention, and celebrate their successes.\r\n\r\nThe meditation chime is a peaceful signal to help students take a deep breath and refocus during transitions or after exciting activities. The voice level chart provides a clear and visual reminder of appropriate noise levels for different parts of our day, helping students make responsible choices about their behavior.\r\n\r\nThe treasure box, sticker chart, and fun prizes have given students something exciting to work toward as they practice kindness, teamwork, and following classroom expectations. These rewards help reinforce positive behavior and build a joyful sense of accomplishment.\r\n\r\nBy using these tools, students will develop important life skills like self-control, mindfulness, and responsibility—all while having fun! This project will make our classroom a place where every student feels successful, valued, and motivated to do their best each day.","fullyFundedDate":1762266371018,"projectUrl":"project/fun-classroom-management/9486152/","projectTitle":"Fun Classroom Management","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. McCoy","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp7105225_orig.jpg?crop=1440,1440,x0,y120&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1753121408782","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/7105225"},{"teacherId":2421121,"projectId":9402616,"letterContent":"Thank you so much for your continued support of our classroom!
