I've named these two carts the Reset and Recharge Stations. We have a morning break and an afternoon break when students can choose a tool to help them reset their brains, recharge their bodies, and return ready to learn. The students absolutely love using these tools! Since the beginning of the school year, I've introduced a few tools each week, and the students get so excited to learn how to use them. If I happen to forget that it's break time, the students quickly remind me that it's time for a break! They really enjoy choosing and using the tools they need to stay focused and ready to learn. The students have enjoyed exploring all the tools I've introduced so far, but the hands-down favorite is the Dream Sand. We have 10 containers available, and all 10 are being used during both breaks every day! Other popular choices include the clicking caterpillars, rain sticks, the breathing puppy, and the breathing bear.\r\n\r\nMy students are not only learning to recognize their own needs and choose appropriate tools to help themselves, but they are also learning to recognize the emotions of their classmates and offer support. One day, a student was having a difficult time managing his emotions and began to cry. Another student went to the cart, got the breathing bear, and offered it to her classmate, asking if he would like to use it to help himself feel better. It was such a special moment to witness my students learning to take care of themselves and one another!\r\n\r\nOur next steps are to continue practicing how to recognize our needs and emotions, choose appropriate tools, and return to learning. Thank you for investing in my students and helping create a classroom where they feel supported, understood, and ready to grow. Your generosity is making a difference not only in what my students learn, but also in how they learn to care for themselves and one another!","fullyFundedDate":1783903456132,"projectUrl":"project/classroom-calming-carts-tools-for-learn/10372895/","projectTitle":"Classroom Calming Carts: Tools for Learning and Growth","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Kohlrus","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-9_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/10547796"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_85241","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":378,"numTeachers":19,"percentFrplEligible":71,"percentAsian":2,"percentBlack":11,"percentWhite":60,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":12,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","percentHawaiianImputed":0,"percentMultiracialImputed":12,"gradesServed":"K - 4","studentTeacherRatio":"19.9:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"SUBURBAN","ncesMetroType":"SUBURB_LARGE"},"inStateSupporters":83.3,"schoolId":85241,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Beverly Gardens Elementary School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Beverly Gardens Elementary School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/ohio/mad-river-local-school-district/beverly-gardens-elementary-school/85241"}
