My students look forward to small group instruction because they have a choice of hands-on materials they can utilize to help them understand the learning objective of each lesson. The greatest impact your donations provided for my class is the implementation of our ClassDojo Store. Students earn points via ClassDojo by following the classroom rules, helping others, completing homework, and various other positive tasks. At the end of the month, students redeem their points by shopping in the ClassDojo store \"purchasing\" the items that your donations help to buy.
