We've incorporated them into our classroom and shared with other classrooms within the building. We are working on creating a designated space where students can go when they need a moment to regulate their emotions or simply engage in quiet, focused play. They're also fantastic for our fine motor skills stations during center time. Just yesterday, during our math lesson, we used the beads to practice counting and one-to-one correspondence. Instead of just counting on a worksheet, students were able to manipulate the beads, grouping them into sets of ten and counting by fives. It was much more engaging and really helped solidify their understanding.\r\n\r\nWhen the students first saw the beads, their eyes lit up! There was an immediate buzz of excitement. They were curious about the different textures and colors, and many of them instinctively reached out to touch them. We had a brief discussion about how they were a \"calming tool\" and how we would use them respectfully in the classroom. They quickly understood the purpose and were eager to try them out.\r\n\r\nOur donors' generosity has truly opened up new avenues for learning and emotional regulation in our classroom. Looking ahead, our next steps with the beads involve integrating them even more into our science explorations. We're about to start our unit on states of matter, and I envision using the beads to represent molecules in different states – perhaps tightly packed for solids, a bit looser for liquids, and scattered for gases. This hands-on approach will undoubtedly make abstract concepts more concrete and understandable for my students. We're also planning to incorporate them into some collaborative art projects, exploring patterns and textures. The possibilities are endless, and I'm so grateful for the opportunity to bring such a valuable resource into our learning environment!","fullyFundedDate":1745846974692,"projectUrl":"project/beads-of-creativity-and-friendship/9126818/","projectTitle":"Beads of Creativity and Friendship","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Mazza","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp4123779_orig.jpg?crop=727,727,x120,y85&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1625608405937","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/mazza204"},{"teacherId":8431491,"projectId":9039285,"letterContent":"On behalf of our students and myself, I want to express my heartfelt gratitude for your generous donation that allowed us to purchase a new classroom rug for our STEM lab.
