Because of you, my students have been able to use these new resources in meaningful, hands-on ways every day. One of our favorite moments so far was when students used the materials during a recent lesson to explore concepts more deeply and collaborate with one another. The resources have helped turn abstract ideas into something students can see, touch, and truly understand.\r\n\r\nWhen the materials first arrived, the excitement was immediate. Students were eager to explore, asking questions and jumping right into learning. Several students even commented on how \"official\" and \"special\" the materials felt, which gave them an extra sense of pride and motivation. It was clear that they understood this was something special made possible by people who believe in them.\r\n\r\nAs we move forward, students will continue using these resources as part of our ongoing lessons and upcoming projects. They are already building skills, confidence, and curiosity that will carry into future learning. Thank you for giving my students this opportunity and for being a meaningful part of our classroom journey.","fullyFundedDate":1767926302792,"projectUrl":"project/small-rewards-big-motivation/9985117/","projectTitle":"Small Rewards, Big Motivation","teacherDisplayName":"Mr. Sims","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-3_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/8667944"},{"teacherId":8667944,"projectId":9859496,"letterContent":"Thank you so much for supporting my classroom! My students were so excited when they first saw the snacks from this project.

During a recent group activity, students who worked collaboratively and stayed focused were rewarded with a small snack, which encouraged others to participate fully and helped build a stronger, more supportive classroom community.\r\n\r\nLooking ahead, we plan to continue using these incentives as we explore new lessons. Your generosity has not only provided treats but has also strengthened classroom culture and helped students feel proud of their hard work. We are incredibly grateful for your support and can't wait to share future successes!","fullyFundedDate":1761616934745,"projectUrl":"project/classroom-candy/9859496/","projectTitle":"Classroom Candy","teacherDisplayName":"Mr. Sims","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-3_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/8667944"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_18398","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":693,"numTeachers":41,"percentFrplEligible":84,"percentAsian":2,"percentBlack":62,"percentWhite":2,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":29,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"Pre-K - 5","studentTeacherRatio":"16.9:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"URBAN","ncesMetroType":"CITY_LARGE"},"inStateSupporters":58.0,"schoolId":18398,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about J.N.
