I learned and have implemented having my students use eye contact and standing when answering questions or participating in class activities. This not only teaches them to have confidence but teaches life skills such as eye contact. \r\n I have also implemented the practice of setting high goals for all students and expecting them to rise to those goals. One of my favorite classroom moments using this strategy was a student was having trouble with a concept we were learning. Instead of just walking him through the steps and telling him what to write, I asked him questions I knew he could answer and led him to the answer using his own knowledge. He then looked at me with a huge smile and said \"Oh my gosh, I understand now!\" \r\n I am so looking forward to learning even more strategies when I attend in November but I have already seen a difference since I have implemented last summer's strategies. I have completely changed the way I approach teaching new content and I have incorporated more fun, hands on activities into my classes. The students are really responding and much more engaged with my lessons.","fullyFundedDate":1778222467657,"projectUrl":"project/all-students-can-be-the-best/10071184/","projectTitle":"All Students Can Be The Best.","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Moss","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-7_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/10422933"},{"teacherId":9578022,"projectId":9892376,"letterContent":"First off-- thank you all for your support! My students have benefited so much from having a hygiene cart in the classroom. Having easy access to basic hygiene supplies is a game changer for some of them.\r\n\r\nSince the hygiene cart was put out, students have been able to grab what they need between and during classes. Some students even come tell me that they've been \"shopping\" and excitedly list off what they picked up from the cart.\r\n\r\nWhen the cart first appeared, most students thought that they had to ask to use it and they were so timid about getting supplies. Now, just a few weeks later, it's like they have always had access to the cart. They help themselves and let me know when a drawer is running low. They are so much more confident and it's easy to see that having access to these supplies has allowed them to come out of their shells.","fullyFundedDate":1764784174015,"projectUrl":"project/hygiene-cart-restock/9892376/","projectTitle":"Hygiene Cart Restock","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Dorsey","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp9578022_orig.jpg?crop=1:1,smart&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1719468582623","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9578022"},{"teacherId":9714061,"projectId":9688180,"letterContent":"Thank you for providing the supplies we truly needed in 6th grade Science.
