Fun Incentives to Motivate Students Throughout the Year
Funded Sep 23, 2024Thank you for donating to my donors choose project. Every week a student wins "student of the week" they win based off how many class dojo points they earned. Students can earn class dojo points by completing their homework, compliment from a teacher, teamwork, participating, perseverance, working hard etc. The student wins a prize and a no homework pass. It has been great to have multiple prizes for students to choose from. Also, these prizes are given out during holiday celebrations. It's important that students feel appreciated and are rewarded for hard work.”

Comfortable Seating and Essentials
Funded Sep 18, 2024Thank you for providing to my donors choose project. The variety of flexible seats that are available in the classroom has been an extremely crucial part of helping students stay focus. They have been motivated to learn because they feel comfortable, which helps them feel more engaged. Some of the flexible seats help them get their wiggles out as well in order to help them stay more on task and get their energy out more productively.
The Velcro dots help allow posters, anchor charts and pictures to stick to our wall and doors. We first laminate the materials and then place Velcro dots on the back. Some examples of posters we have used are self regulating our emotions and checking in, breathing exercises, place value chart etc.”

The anxiety strips have helped increased calmness in a students mind whenever they feel stressed. This helps them to breathe, take a step back and go through the emotions they're feeling in a healthy way.”

This classroom project was brought to life by The DonorsChoose Community and one other donor.Enhance Student Learning
Funded Sep 18, 2024Thank you for the materials for my classroom. Students usually have fun Friday last period on Fridays where they get to draw, play board games, do arts and crafts. With the new educational games, they can select one of those to play with and continue to grow their skills.
The TPT gift card has helped me buy materials to enrich the students learning. I have bought multiple projects that are geared towards the HMH reading we do in class as well as math anchor charts to help the students practice their math strategies.”

Bring Out the Best in My students.
Funded Nov 28, 2022Thank you for all your help in supporting my classroom. My students enjoyed all the flexible seating and supplies. They felt the classroom to be more comfortable and relaxing. This set them up to learn and feel safe. The supplies helped them explore their creativity and show their work in multiple ways. These supplies not only helped last years students, but will continue to support and help all students going forward. These items helped me focus more on my students and not worry about getting enough funding for my classroom. Thank you again!”
