Students sometimes feel overwhelmed, anxious, frustrated, or simply need a short break to refocus. Having a squishy available can give them something safe and calming to squeeze while they take a moment to relax.\r\n\r\nThese sensory tools can help students calm their bodies, improve focus, and return to learning ready to participate. They can be especially helpful during challenging assignments, testing, transitions, or other stressful moments.\r\n\r\nOur goal is to create a classroom environment where students feel supported and have healthy strategies to manage stress. A small squishy can make a big difference by helping students feel calm, comfortable, and ready to learn!","fullyFundedDate":1782682452252,"projectUrl":"project/manage-stress-improve-focus-and-stay-e/10343625/","projectTitle":"Manage Stress, Improve Focus, and Stay Engaged in Learning.","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Moore","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp2453935_orig.jpg?crop=1:1,smart&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1556415526702","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/2453935"},{"teacherId":2453935,"projectId":10363069,"letterContent":"Thank you so much for your generous donation of clay to our fourth-grade classroom! We are incredibly grateful for your support and for helping us provide our students with a fun, hands-on science experience.\r\n\r\nOur students are learning about fossils, and they are super excited to have the opportunity to make their very own fossils using clay. Instead of only reading about fossils or looking at pictures in a book, students will be able to create, explore, and learn through a hands-on activity. They will get to see how impressions and shapes can be preserved and use their creativity to make their own fossil models.\r\n\r\nThe clay will help make this lesson much more meaningful for our students. They will be able to pretend to be paleontologists as they create their fossils and think about what fossils can tell us about organisms that lived long ago. They will have opportunities to make observations, ask questions, and discuss their creations with their classmates.\r\n\r\nHands-on learning is especially exciting for our students because it gives them a chance to learn by doing. We know that when students are actively involved in a lesson, they are more likely to remember what they have learned. This activity will allow them to connect what they are learning in science to something they can actually create and hold in their hands.\r\n\r\nWe are looking forward to seeing the creativity and excitement in our classroom as students make their fossils. Each student will have the opportunity to create something unique while showing their understanding of the science concepts we are studying. We know there will be lots of smiles, conversations, and proud students when they see their finished fossil creations!\r\n\r\nYour donation is helping us make science more engaging and exciting. You are giving our students the chance to explore a new topic in a way that encourages curiosity, creativity, and a love of learning.\r\n\r\nThank you for investing in our students and supporting our classroom. Your generosity truly makes a difference. We appreciate you helping us turn an ordinary science lesson into an experience our students will remember!\r\n\r\nWe cannot wait to get our hands on the clay and start making fossils!","fullyFundedDate":1783886629061,"projectUrl":"project/beginning-of-year-supplies/10363069/","projectTitle":"Beginning of Year Supplies","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Moore","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp2453935_orig.jpg?crop=1:1,smart&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1556415526702","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/2453935"},{"teacherId":5582894,"projectId":10357302,"letterContent":"Thank you so much for funding my project for two Teachers Pay Teachers gift cards.
