The organizational materials you provided have made a tremendous difference in our classroom. Our students are now able to more easily access their papers, supplies, and daily materials, which has helped create a more organized and predictable classroom environment. Students have designated spaces for their work and materials, while staff can keep the supplies they use to support students neat, organized, labeled, and easily accessible.\r\n\r\nOur students have really benefited from having clear, consistent spaces for their belongings and classroom materials. These organizational tools have also allowed us to better display student work and celebrate their accomplishments. For our students, having an organized environment supports independence, routine, and confidence throughout the school day. We are continuing to use these resources every day as we work on building independence and functional life skills. Thank you for investing in our students and helping us create a classroom where they can feel successful, supported, and proud of their work!","fullyFundedDate":1784180449045,"projectUrl":"project/classroom-organization-needed/10244700/","projectTitle":"Classroom Organization Needed!","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Prinz","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp4151634_orig.jpg?crop=682,682,x0,y227&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1575305636660","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/4151634"},{"teacherId":10485601,"projectId":10224525,"letterContent":"Thank you so much for supporting my students and helping me create a calm, welcoming space where they can feel comfortable being themselves. I am truly grateful for your generosity and for all of the resources you helped bring into our mental health space.\r\n\r\nFor many of my students, the familiarity and softness of this space is just as important as the tools within it. Coming into my office may be one of the few moments in their day when they can take a break from academic pressures, social and relational stressors, or other challenging dynamics happening outside of the office. Having a space that feels calm, predictable, and welcoming gives them an opportunity to slow down, regulate, and simply be present before returning to the rest of their school day.\r\nMy students were excited and curious when they first saw the new materials, especially the sandtray, miniatures, sensory tools, and other hands-on activities. It was wonderful watching them explore the different resources and begin finding the tools that felt most comfortable for them.\r\n\r\nThe sandtray has already become one of the most meaningful resources in our sessions. I work with students who sometimes have a difficult time putting their experiences or emotions into words. I have already had students use the sand and miniatures to create scenes and share their stories in a way that felt natural to them. Sometimes creating and playing first makes it easier for the words to come later. It has been really special to see students realize that there isn't just one way to communicate what they are feeling.\r\n\r\nWe are also using the Zen garden, breathing tool, LEGO pieces, conversation cards, stamps, journals, and other sensory materials to practice mindfulness, grounding, emotional expression, and coping skills. Students can have something calming to do with their hands while we talk, which can make sessions feel more comfortable and less intimidating.\r\n\r\nMoving forward, I will continue introducing students to different strategies so they can discover what works best for them. My hope is that the skills we practice together whether that is journaling, mindfulness, grounding, challenging negative thoughts, creative expression become tools they can use independently outside of my office.\r\n\r\nEven the softer lighting, white noise, and calming décor have helped make this space feel warm and inviting. I wanted my students to have a place at school where they can slow down, feel supported, and know that it is okay to simply be who they are.\r\n\r\nThank you for making that possible. These resources are already being used and appreciated, and I know they will continue to support many students throughout the school year. Your generosity has helped create more than a counseling space, it has helped create a place where students can feel safe, supported, and reminded that they are enough.","fullyFundedDate":1784180448951,"projectUrl":"project/a-safe-place-to-be-who-you-are/10224525/","projectTitle":"A Safe Place to Be Who You Are","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Rodriguez","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp10485601_orig.jpg?crop=650,650,x0,y78&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1777661359315","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/10485601"},{"teacherId":9786337,"projectId":9989420,"letterContent":"Thank you so much for your generosity in supporting our dream to bring an industry-level 3D printer to our classroom to help students develop their creativity. Already, students have used the 3D printer to create custom lab materials, prototypes, and support their participation in competitions outside of school. Students have been able to truly develop real-life skills that will serve them not only during their time in high school, but also in the years beyond the classroom. Even students who have never been exposed to a 3D printer have shown interest in learning how to use it, which could unlock future career paths! I am so excited to see what possible growth and creativity can flourish thanks to this new addition to our classroom.","fullyFundedDate":1768415589729,"projectUrl":"project/from-formulas-to-filaments-printing-the/9989420/","projectTitle":"From Formulas to Filaments: Printing the Future","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Le","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp9786337_orig.png?crop=1169,1170,x0,y682&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1727747603627","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9786337"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_75398","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":2711,"numTeachers":110,"percentFrplEligible":52,"percentAsian":44,"percentBlack":2,"percentWhite":18,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":27,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","percentHawaiianImputed":0,"percentMultiracialImputed":5,"gradesServed":"9 - 12","studentTeacherRatio":"24.6:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":false,"metroType":"URBAN","ncesMetroType":"CITY_LARGE"},"inStateSupporters":90.3,"schoolId":75398,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Arnold O Beckman High School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Arnold O Beckman High School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/california/tustin-unified-school-district/arnold-o-beckman-high-school/75398"}
