The items that we were able to integrate into our curriculum and daily schedule have already begun to bear fruit. Let me give you a few examples of how your sharing spirit has made a positive impact in the lives of our students.\r\n The posters that I chose have considerably brightened the walls of our classroom, while at the same time displaying basic concepts, such as the alphabet, colors, shapes, numbers, sight words, and emotions. The students loved the bright colors and pictures, and consult them during work time (shapes and colors especially!). We received two sets of books relating to our quiet corner and behavioral expectations. The \"SPOTS\" books (along with the SPOTS themselves) explore emotions and the best way to maneuver through rough times. The students really enjoy grabbing a stuffed SPOT that represents how they are feeling in any given situation. The second set of books deals with social situations and best practices. We have read and discussed several. We also received two sets of blocks that are big fan favorites. Students who earn free time or need to be redirected are enjoying them immensely. I also ordered a neat cart that contains the blocks. For our older students, we received journals to help them talk about their feelings. \r\n Thanks again for your giving hearts, they are making a difference every day for our students who struggle with big feelings and how to manage them. You made it just a little easier by giving them (and me) new tools to find better and more productive solutions.","fullyFundedDate":1768756323986,"projectUrl":"project/a-safe-space-to-regulate/10037854/","projectTitle":"A Safe Space to Regulate","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Lopez","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-4_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/10411267"},{"teacherId":305770,"projectId":9897014,"letterContent":"Your genersous support of our classroom is greatling appreciated.
