The first time I opened the box, several students immediately asked, \"Are these really for us?\" They could hardly believe we had paints, markers, and other supplies to create with. We've already used the materials to design posters for our current reading unit, and the students loved being able to bring their ideas to life with color and creativity instead of just pencil and paper.\r\n\r\nThe class prizes have been a wonderful motivator, helping students stay engaged and encouraging positive behavior. I saw one student, who is usually hesitant to participate, proudly share his work knowing he had earned a chance at our new prize bin. These small incentives have helped build a stronger classroom community.\r\n\r\nOur next step is to use the art supplies for a social studies project where students will create illustrated timelines to show what they've learned. I can't wait to see their knowledge shine through in such a creative way. Your generosity has truly brightened our classroom and given my students tools that make learning more engaging and joyful.","fullyFundedDate":1746785301532,"projectUrl":"project/arts-integration-and-behavior-motivation/9132415/","projectTitle":"Arts Integration and Behavior Motivation","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Hauck","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp7877593_orig.jpg?crop=3648,3648,x0,y0&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1682714767682","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/misshauckhve"},{"teacherId":8298942,"projectId":8665154,"letterContent":"Thank you so much for your generous support!

Their eyes lit up when they saw the colorful markers and the treasure trove of prizes. One student even said, \"This is the best day ever!\" The whiteboard has become a place of creativity and collaboration, with students eagerly volunteering to solve math problems, write answers during grammar games, and contribute ideas during group discussions using the new markers.\r\n\r\nThe prize box has also become a huge motivator. We've tied it to our classroom behavior and academic goals, and students are working hard to earn the opportunity to choose from it. One recent moment that stood out: a student who had been struggling with participation started raising her hand more frequently, later telling me she was \"working for the squishy in the prize box.\" The impact on motivation has been real and immediate.\r\n\r\nCurrently, we're working on opinion writing, and students are using the Expo markers during our \"Would You Rather?\" writing warm-ups—choosing a side and jotting down reasons on whiteboards before diving into paragraphs. The visual and interactive aspect has made our lessons more dynamic, and students are more engaged than ever.\r\n\r\nThanks to your support, our classroom is a brighter, more exciting, and more productive place to learn.

Your contribution made it possible for our school to give away Spanish books at our Back to School Night. This is making a positive impact for the Spanish speaking families in our school by ensuring that children have access to books in their native language, fostering a love for reading and helping to strengthen their literacy skills.\r\n\r\nBecause of your generous donation, parents now have the opportunity to read with their children in a language they are comfortable with, creating meaningful family reading experiences. This not only motivates children to read more but also reinforces the importance of literacy within the home. Your support is helping to build a strong foundation for lifelong learning and an appreciation for reading and literature. \r\n\r\nThank you for believing in this project and for making a difference in the lives of these families.

The stylus pens have given my students an entirely new way to engage with their learning, making lessons more interactive, precise, and fun.\r\n\r\nIn our classroom, technology plays a huge role in helping students explore, create, and express their ideas. With the stylus pens, students can write, annotate, and illustrate on their tablets with ease—just like using pencil and paper but with the added benefits of digital tools. This has been especially impactful in activities like math problem-solving, digital note-taking, and interactive writing assignments. Instead of struggling with finger-drawing, they can now create detailed diagrams, organize their thoughts clearly, and collaborate more effectively.\r\n\r\nThe excitement in the room when we introduced the styluses was amazing! Students immediately saw the difference in their work and couldn't wait to try them out. One student, who previously avoided writing because of fine motor difficulties, now eagerly participates in note-taking and drawing activities, building confidence along the way. Another student, who loves creating digital artwork, has taken their creativity to a new level, designing intricate illustrations to accompany their writing.\r\n\r\nBecause of you, my students are more engaged, confident, and eager to learn. Thank you for making this possible—you've given them a tool that enhances their education in ways that will last far beyond this school year.","fullyFundedDate":1731537753706,"projectUrl":"project/stylus-pens-for-4th-grade/8931378/","projectTitle":"Stylus Pens for 4th Grade","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Hauck","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp7877593_orig.jpg?crop=3648,3648,x0,y0&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1682714767682","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/misshauckhve"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_33372","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":496,"numTeachers":null,"percentFrplEligible":48,"percentAsian":1,"percentBlack":0,"percentWhite":59,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":37,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"K - 5","studentTeacherRatio":null,"demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":false,"titleOne":false,"metroType":"TOWN","ncesMetroType":"TOWN_DISTANT"},"inStateSupporters":72.3,"schoolId":33372,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Heber Valley Elementary School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Heber Valley Elementary School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/utah/wasatch-county-school-district/heber-valley-elementary-school/33372"}
