We have a MFLAC (military family counselor) that uses our objects to help support students as they go through these transitions. Students learn how to use the items during small group lessons and are available to use them should they need support one on one for regulation.\r\nOur school counselor has also started using the items in small group lessons. She is taking the time to teach different strategies for self-regulation that uses the different items in the room. She has pulled items to allow for students to use them in different areas as well as using the items in the classrooms. \r\nAs we go forward, we will continue to broaden how we interact with the items in the classroom and across the school setting.","fullyFundedDate":1757011530144,"projectUrl":"project/sensory-room-start-up/9504384/","projectTitle":"Sensory Room Start Up","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Beckmann","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp6843405_orig.jpg?crop=240,240,x0,y0&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1753823351676","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/6843405"},{"teacherId":10062505,"projectId":9486624,"letterContent":"Thank you so much for helping bring Spot the Emotions to our classroom!
