Their little faces lit up like christmas trees. The items you provided have had a wonderful impact in our classroom. Slime, mini finger toys, stress balls, and the soccer ball have become powerful motivators. Students work hard to earn time with these fun rewards, and they help promote both positive behavior and social play. Glitter pens, anchor chart markers, laminating pouches, cardstock, and the pocket chart have all strengthened our learning environment by making our materials more engaging, organized, and durable. The students especially love when they get to use the special pens or see their work displayed using our new supplies.\r\n\r\nThe cookies and Skittles have been a huge hit as incentives, and the kids are always excited to receive a treat for their effort. Because of these rewards, I've already seen real growth in positive behavior, stronger participation, and a greater sense of pride in their work. They are truly working hard to earn their rewards, and the excitement on their faces makes each moment worthwhile.\r\n\r\nOur next steps are to get a few more projects funded. Small things like blankets, hoodies and more flexible seating will truly benefit our classroom. Again, thank you so much for your donation.","fullyFundedDate":1758289036650,"projectUrl":"project/classroom-champs-earning-through-effort/9475350/","projectTitle":"Classroom Champs: Earning Through Effort","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Caballero","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/272x272/tp5472858_272x272.jpg?width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1529421035978","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/carmen-vides"},{"teacherId":5472858,"projectId":9458145,"letterContent":"I wanted to take a moment to express my heartfelt thanks for all of the incredible supplies we received. Because of your generosity, our classroom has become an inviting, warm, and engaging space—something that has not gone unnoticed. Students, administrators, parents, and fellow teachers have all shared compliments about the environment we've created together.\r\n\r\nThe Chromebook cart has been a game-changer in helping students establish a consistent routine. They've taken real ownership of their devices, which has made a huge difference in their responsibility and productivity.\r\n\r\nThe birthday goodies have also brought so much joy. Each student feels seen and celebrated, and the birthday bags have truly boosted classroom morale. It's been such a fun and meaningful tradition.\r\n\r\nLastly, being able to print and access high-quality materials has made a big impact on my planning and instruction. It's allowed me to prepare engaging lessons and support students in ways that weren't possible before.\r\n\r\nThank you again for supporting our classroom.

Beyond the decorations, having access to color printing has been especially helpful for my English Language Learners. Visuals and color-coded materials have supported their understanding of vocabulary and concepts in ways that black-and-white copies simply can't.\r\n\r\nYour contribution has helped make our classroom not just more beautiful, but more inclusive and effective for all learners.
