The cleaning supplies have helped ensure that our classroom remains a healthy space, allowing us to focus on learning without concerns about germs. We've incorporated regular disinfecting routines into our day, allowing students to take responsibility for keeping their space clean and organized. This has fostered a sense of ownership and teamwork in the classroom, as students eagerly volunteer to wipe down desks and common areas after activities.\r\n When my students first saw the new materials, they were excited and curious, especially about the reward system. They immediately recognized the connection between their behavior and the rewards, which sparked a burst of energy and enthusiasm. I introduced the reward system with a classroom goal of earning points for good behavior, completing assignments, and showing kindness to one another. The students were thrilled by the idea of earning incentives, and I could see an immediate increase in their motivation to participate in class activities. \r\n As we continue with our current lessons, the next steps involve using the incentive system to reinforce consistent positive behaviors and academic growth. Moving forward, I plan to use the materials to further support student collaboration and effort, offering incentives for teamwork and creative solutions. With the classroom environment being cleaner and more organized, and with increased motivation through the rewards system, my students are well-equipped to tackle upcoming challenges and projects with enthusiasm.","fullyFundedDate":1742936731176,"projectUrl":"project/empowering-students-through-motivation/9189422/","projectTitle":"Empowering Students Through Motivation","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Cuello","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-3_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9972144"},{"teacherId":1574226,"projectId":8974150,"letterContent":"My students and I use Lysol and Clorox wipes daily as part of our classroom routine to maintain a clean and healthy learning environment.
