Because of you, our classroom now has a beautiful collection of engaging, age-appropriate books that are already making a real difference in the lives of my young learners.\r\nEvery day, I see my kindergarten through second-grade students growing not just as readers, but as kind, thoughtful, and emotionally aware individuals. These books have opened the door to meaningful conversations about feelings, friendship, empathy, and problem-solving. We've explored stories that show how to be brave, how to manage frustration, how to celebrate differences, and how to support one another—and the impact has been powerful.\r\nOne student recently shared, \"I feel like that character sometimes, but I didn't know how to say it before.\" Moments like that remind me how important this work is—and how your generosity helps make it possible.\r\nThanks to your donation, our classroom is becoming a space where children feel seen, valued, and supported. They're learning to express their emotions, resolve conflicts with care, and build strong relationships. The stories you helped provide are not just books on a shelf—they're tools for growth, connection, and lifelong learning.\r\nFrom the bottom of our hearts, thank you for believing in our students and for helping us build a more caring, inclusive classroom community through the power of stories.","fullyFundedDate":1752199620062,"projectUrl":"project/building-social-emotional-skills-through/9431289/","projectTitle":"Building Social-Emotional Skills Through Stories: Books for Our K-2 Classroom","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Kistler","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp6224664_orig.jpg?crop=902,902,x0,y366&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1587506902956","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/6224664"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_39905","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":27,"numTeachers":2,"percentFrplEligible":89,"percentAsian":0,"percentBlack":0,"percentWhite":44,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":48,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"K - 5","studentTeacherRatio":"13.5:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"RURAL","ncesMetroType":"RURAL_REMOTE"},"inStateSupporters":50.0,"schoolId":39905,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Carrisa Plains Elementary School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Carrisa Plains Elementary School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/california/atascadero-unified-school-district/carrisa-plains-elementary-school/39905"}
