They've become essential tools that support focus and ensure our students come to school ready to learn.\r\n\r\nFor example, our students are currently engaging more in iReady because they know prizes are available. The fidgets have been instrumental during class for all of my students who struggle to stay on task. For a few of my students who struggle with sitting still, having a discrete tool like a fidget to channel that extra energy has allowed them to stay focused on the text, resulting in much deeper comprehension and better-written research notes. The consistent availability of healthy snacks has also eliminated a huge distraction; no one is trying to learn with a growling stomach, and the entire class maintains higher energy levels through the afternoon. We are ever so grateful for your kindness.","fullyFundedDate":1746786903676,"projectUrl":"project/iready-for-rewards/9060013/","projectTitle":"iReady for Rewards","teacherDisplayName":"Dr. T Smith","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp2173121_orig.png?crop=1592,1592,x0,y0&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1704902736214","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/tlpatterson73"},{"teacherId":2173121,"projectId":9080701,"letterContent":"The excitement generated by your generous contribution is truly contagious! \r\n\r\nOur students' hearts are full of gratitude, and we're seeing an incredible shift in their motivation and ownership of their education.
