With the support of generous donors like you, my classroom becomes a place where encouragement is consistent, goals feel attainable, and students are inspired to keep striving for their best.\r\n\r\nMy 6th graders were beyond excited to shop in our \"comet coupon store\" and spend their hard-earned coupons on the items that were donated. They always go wild for snacks, candy, and drinks, but they were especially pumped about the new addition of the prize wheel. For 25 coupons, they got to spin the wheel and wherever it landed told them the prize they received. Of course, I also labeled one spot as a \"whomp whomp\" which only increased the fun! I never knew middle schoolers would be willing risk their coupons, but there were some kids who wanted to spend all they had on more chances to spin the wheel even knowing they might get nothing! It was truly rewarding to see their excitement for and appreciation of everything we received.","fullyFundedDate":1763251691181,"projectUrl":"project/encouraging-excellence-one-reward-at-a/9883053/","projectTitle":"Encouraging Excellence, One Reward at a Time","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Maston","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp9221850_orig.jpg?crop=2316,2316,x0,y293&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1708560045053","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/maston"},{"teacherId":4947347,"projectId":9903737,"letterContent":"Thank you so much for your generous donation to our classroom!

Because of your generosity, my students have been able to use our new resources during our Ratio and Unit Rate unit in meaningful, hands-on ways. Instead of just solving problems from a textbook, students have been working in small groups using the materials to build ratio tables, create real-world comparison scenarios, and even design their own \"unit rate challenge\" problems for classmates to solve. One of my favorite moments was watching a group excitedly realize they could use unit rates to compare better buys when shopping—something they immediately connected to real life. Your support helped make those lightbulb moments possible.\r\n\r\nWhen the materials first arrived, my students were genuinely excited. They immediately started asking what we were going to do with them and were eager to dive in. Having engaging, high-quality resources made them feel like their learning is important and valued. It shifted the energy in the room—students who are usually hesitant to participate were volunteering to share their thinking and explain their strategies at the board.\r\n\r\nNext, we are building on these skills by applying ratios and unit rates to multi-step, real-world problems. Students will be working on a project where they create a mock \"store comparison\" presentation, using math to justify the best deals. These resources will continue to support collaborative work, critical thinking, and deeper understanding.
