I believe that continued support and investment in educational gaming resources will significantly benefit our students' academic and personal growth.","fullyFundedDate":1632409074172,"projectUrl":"project/who-says-learning-new-things-cant-be-fu/5740580/","projectTitle":"Who Says Learning New Things Can't Be Fun?","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Loisy","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp7740544_orig.jpg?crop=1080,1080,x0,y0&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1612009255302","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/7740544"},{"teacherId":7740544,"projectId":5740693,"letterContent":"I am writing to share the significant benefits I have observed from implementing a structured reward system in our classrooms. This approach has notably enhanced student motivation, engagement, and academic performance.\r\n\r\nBy recognizing and rewarding positive behaviors and academic achievements, I've created a more encouraging and productive learning environment. Students are more inclined to participate actively, complete assignments on time, and exhibit respectful behavior towards peers and teachers. This positive reinforcement not only boosts their confidence and self-esteem but also fosters a sense of accomplishment and a desire to strive for excellence.\r\n\r\nResearch supports these observations. Studies indicate that reward systems can lead to improved academic performance, increased motivation, and reduced disruptive behaviors in the classroom. By providing immediate feedback and acknowledging students' efforts, we reinforce desirable behaviors and encourage continuous improvement.\r\n\r\nIt's important to balance extrinsic rewards with strategies that promote intrinsic motivation. By gradually phasing out tangible rewards and focusing on fostering a love for learning, we aim to develop students who are self-motivated and take ownership of their educational journey.\r\n\r\nThe implementation of reward systems has had a profound impact on my students' learning experiences. By creating a supportive and motivating environment, we are nurturing learners who are not only academically successful but also equipped with the confidence and skills necessary for lifelong learning.\r\n\r\nThank you for your continued support in our educational initiatives.","fullyFundedDate":1634352190932,"projectUrl":"project/rewards-are-earned-not-given/5740693/","projectTitle":"Rewards Are Earned Not Given!","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Loisy","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp7740544_orig.jpg?crop=1080,1080,x0,y0&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1612009255302","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/7740544"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_46493","uses�ǿմ�ý":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":479,"numTeachers":37,"percentFrplEligible":95,"percentAsian":0,"percentBlack":81,"percentWhite":6,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":6,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"Pre-K - 5","studentTeacherRatio":"12.9:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"URBAN","ncesMetroType":"CITY_MIDSIZE"},"inStateSupporters":62.2,"schoolId":46493,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Astoria Park Elementary School on @�ǿմ�ý:","schoolName":"Astoria Park Elementary School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/florida/leon-county-schools/astoria-park-elementary-school/46493"}
