The individual whiteboards, markers, and erasers give students another way to show what they know: they can solve a problem, write an answer, and hold up their boards so I can quickly check understanding and decide where to give support.\r\n\r\nStudents are excited to have their own headphones for digital learning and to use the whiteboards during lessons and games. They also enjoy creating with the crayons, scissors, and glue. I can laminate activities and learning tools so students can use them again and again, including during centers and small-group practice.\r\n\r\nStudents who benefit from fewer distractions can use the headphones to focus on what they are hearing. Students who are more comfortable showing an answer than sharing it aloud can write or draw it on a whiteboard, giving me a quick way to see their thinking. The crayons and project supplies also give students hands-on ways to demonstrate their learning through drawings and creations. Together, these materials give my students several ways to participate, practice, and show what they understand.

During independent reading and small-group activities, students can choose a comfortable spot where they can focus on their books, share ideas, and complete their work. It has been wonderful to see them settle into a space that helps them feel ready to learn.\r\n\r\nThey were excited to see the new seating and eager to try it out! The stools and cushions made our classroom feel welcoming, and students appreciated having comfortable options for learning.\r\n\r\nWe will continue using the flexible seating during reading, writing, and small-group lessons. As students read and discuss stories, they will practice sharing their thinking, supporting their ideas with details, and listening to one another. These comfortable spaces will help students stay engaged as they build confidence and curiosity.

Your generosity has helped create meaningful experiences that celebrate positive behavior and encourage our students to be Respectful, Responsible, and Safe each day at school.\r\n\r\nOur students have been using the new craft supplies and treats during our monthly Student of the Month celebrations. One special activity we introduced was a \"Swag Your Bag\" craft where students decorated their own treat bags using the donated materials before filling them with rewards and goodies. During these sessions, we also reviewed our PBIS expectations and talked about what it means to demonstrate positive behavior in the classroom, cafeteria, hallways, and playground.\r\n\r\nThe students were beyond excited when they first saw the materials arrive. Many immediately began talking about ideas for decorating and were proud to be recognized for making positive choices. For some students, being selected as Student of the Month gave them a confidence boost and motivated them to continue making respectful and responsible decisions. Seeing their smiles and excitement reminded us how important positive reinforcement and school connectedness truly are.\r\n\r\nThe next steps for our students include continuing monthly PBIS-centered activities that combine social-emotional learning, creativity, and positive behavior recognition. We plan to use the materials throughout the school year to reinforce teamwork, kindness, self-control, and leadership while building a positive school culture. These celebrations are helping students feel seen, valued, and encouraged to continue making good choices.\r\n\r\nThank you again for investing in our students and helping us create memorable experiences that support both learning and positive behavior growth. Your kindness is making a lasting impact in our school community.","fullyFundedDate":1774077768363,"projectUrl":"project/celebrating-positive-behaviors-for-stude/10093109/","projectTitle":"Celebrating Positive Behaviors for Students Who Uphold the School Motto","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Bassett","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp8658205_orig.jpg?crop=960,960,x0,y160&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1683829897081","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/8658205"},{"teacherId":8680413,"projectId":9586056,"letterContent":"My students and I greatly appreciate your generous donations of the various fun supplies for our school's art studio. Typically, around the semester-change, we are running super low on glue sticks, printing plates, and clay, but this year has been much different with extra glue sticks for students to create various collage projects.\r\n\r\nWe were able to successfully complete printing units for grades 3-5 with a focus on cityscapes, sea life, and Spanish tiles. All grades have enjoyed using the glue for various collage projects. We look forward to using the acrylic markers, clay, and tooling foil in some exciting three-dimensional projects this spring.\r\n\r\nMy students have created some amazing artwork this year and they have enjoyed showing it off a several art shows and school programs. Without Donors Choose, they would not have had access to as many different materials and tried as many techniques.
