The sweet incentives you provided have already made a meaningful impact on how my students engage with their learning.\r\nWe've been using the new rewards as part of our positive reinforcement system—especially during small-group instruction, independent practice, and behavior goal tracking. One specific moment that stands out happened during a challenging reading activity. A student who typically struggles to stay focused worked diligently through an entire passage, pausing to check her comprehension and even rereading a tricky paragraph. When she earned her incentive, the whole class celebrated with her. That small piece of candy became a big moment of pride and showed her what she was capable of.\r\nWhen my students first saw the materials, their faces absolutely lit up. They couldn't believe that donors they had never met contributed something just for them. It made them feel valued, seen, and excited to do their best.\r\nYour support gave you a little window into our classroom community, and I want to share what's next: we're building on this momentum by starting a classwide goal-setting challenge. Over the next few weeks, students will track their progress in academics and behavior, earning sweet incentives as they reach milestones. These rewards help them stay motivated, celebrate small wins, and encourage one another along the way.\r\nThank you again for helping create such a positive, supportive learning environment. Your generosity truly made a difference.","fullyFundedDate":1742916798665,"projectUrl":"project/sweet-incentives/9187254/","projectTitle":"Sweet Incentives","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Wolf","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp8074579_orig.jpg?crop=1062,1062,x0,y3&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1634347114336","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/8074579"},{"teacherId":3577477,"projectId":9423962,"letterContent":"The impact that your donations have had on my classroom and students is beyond describable!
