Students loved to try to figure out what was in the boxes. The advent calendar items were out of stock, so the students all got little fun things to do over break, like build-a-face stickers, bubble wands, slap bracelets, and other items. Larger LEGO items were displayed for students to earn with their \"Modrow Money\". Having rewards they picked helped them work hard to be on their best behavior during the hectic time leading up to break. Some items are still in the PBIS store waiting for someone to save up enough money. They get so excited and proud of themselves when they have enough to purchase something they have been saving up for. We also share the happy news with their families.","fullyFundedDate":1763551604997,"projectUrl":"project/holiday-and-superhero-lego/9884761/","projectTitle":"Holiday and Superhero LEGO","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Modrow","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp4495212_orig.jpg?width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1569786536722","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/heather-modrow"},{"teacherId":4495212,"projectId":9885150,"letterContent":"We love the Number blocks! Several of my students love using the numblocks to demonstrate their learning and understanding of math concepts. They like to use the stamps to add and subtract on their worksheets. It's much more fun to stamp than to draw or write! The grocery store is a favorite and is requested during break time, too! Some students will build with the cubes and pop-its counting as they go. Sometimes they sing the songs too. Having these wonderful hands-on items has helped my students learn number sense and beginning calculations in a fun and kid-friendly way.

One student loves the wobble chair legs, and it helps them stay in their chair a bit longer than before, and improve on task behavior and work completion. The sensory chew necklaces have been wonderful for a handful of students who would otherwise chew on their fingers, clothing, or other non-edible items. Chew necklaces provide that sensory need and with the fun designs, they look appropriate in an elementary school. I have been able to share some necklaces with other teachers who also have students with this sensory need.","fullyFundedDate":1763582415788,"projectUrl":"project/sensory-needs-met/9906891/","projectTitle":"Sensory Needs Met!","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Modrow","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp4495212_orig.jpg?width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1569786536722","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/heather-modrow"},{"teacherId":2984606,"projectId":9743636,"letterContent":"Our new Yoto Players have made our listening station so much fun! Students love to see what new stories are available and get so excited when it is their turn. These devices help students access higher level text then some are able to read at an independent level. This allows them the ability to practice comprehension of a story they wouldn't otherwise be able to read. \r\nThese devices also help students build their fluency by following along to a story read aloud. Students get practice reading and being read to, all independently.

They like the cushions in my classroom so they are not sitting on the floor. A rocker is placed in a student's general education classroom so he can support his spine while sitting on the floor. Another student gets to raise his chair some and wiggle slightly with the wobble feet on the chairs. They are so popular that I had to order another set for another student.

These can help students transfer the skills they learn on the iPad to a medium they see in class, paper! They also get extra practice with little 4 page books that I can print and they can practice reading. They get excited to be able to read books like their classmates. One student was so proud of his success that we recorded him reading the book and sent it to his mom.

I was able to introduce and adapt the Ousi games to meet my students developmental level. The older students were curious about the pictures and using the QR codes on the back could instantly give more information. They were able to play the game of placing like by like and explaining why - both green, both animals, both have stripes. The younger students started by sorting animals and nature. They were able to understand the concept and sort them correctly. Then one student placed the animal picture in the nature category. When I asked if that was the right place, he said, \"Yes, fox outside.\" I love that he was able to communicate WHY he did that and had a great and valid reason.

They have their favorites and love to be able to have a book read to them as they follow along.\r\nMy favorite part of this project is the collaboration among peers. Some students who have autism and struggle with reading and comprehension get to pick out their favorite class books and stronger readers who are their classmates, read and record the book they want to listen to. \r\nIt's a great leadership role to record yourself reading, and then anyone can listen to the classmate, not just struggling readers.","fullyFundedDate":1758122853541,"projectUrl":"project/read-to-me-please/9712488/","projectTitle":"Read to Me, Please!","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Modrow","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp4495212_orig.jpg?width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1569786536722","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/heather-modrow"},{"teacherId":4495212,"projectId":9459872,"letterContent":"My students loved making cat and dog toys for shelter animals.
