My students absolutely LOVED opening the Lego boxes and selecting which flower they wanted to make. It was so great to be able to also use the activity as an object lesson. With building the Lego flowers, we stressed the importance of following directions one step at a time and not skipping ahead. If they began to get frustrated, they were prompted to identify in that moment any signals their body was giving them, name the emotion they were experiencing, and use one of our strategies to regulate. Because they had their newly created flowers, it made it so much easier for them to visualize and use \"flower breath,\" an easy technique to help regulate! \r\n\r\nI also love to be able to share with parents and teachers what their students are learning in their counseling sessions so that they know the vocabulary and can share it with them. The visuals that lay out the Zones of Regulation help other people to cue my students at times when I am not there to identify their zone or emotion, and choose a corresponding feeling. This really helps my students start to internalize what we are learning, and apply it so they can generalize it. I can't wait to hear from my students and their families about how helpful it was to have this resource. With your gift to my project, my students were able to keep cool through the end of the school year into the summer!","fullyFundedDate":1777998159788,"projectUrl":"project/tools-to-keep-cool/10241891/","projectTitle":"Tools to Keep Cool!","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Munch","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp4981924_orig.jpg?crop=829,829,x129,y129&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1726664072966","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/munchsmunchkins"},{"teacherId":10100216,"projectId":9528797,"letterContent":"I would like to thank you for contributing to this project.

With new classroom materials like whiteboards and dry erasers students were ready to show what they know! The kids were able to adjust to the school days and stay energized with snack breaks. \r\nWith the yoga chairs we could have more flexible seating in the classroom.\r\n\r\nWith your help, we've had an amazing fifth grade year!\r\nThank you for your support in making happy students and a happy classroom.","fullyFundedDate":1755392539763,"projectUrl":"project/happy-students-happy-classroom/9528797/","projectTitle":"Happy Students, Happy Classroom!","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Smith","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-9_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/10100216"},{"teacherId":9366494,"projectId":9959789,"letterContent":"Thank you so much for taking the time out to contribute to my students and I.

With your assistance I have been able to rotate our stations, allowing my students more opportunities to be excited about learning. Words cannot express how grateful we are for you.

We have special city-wide programs for three, four, and five year olds, most of whom process sensory information differently. They have been coming to the sensory room to get those needs met every day when it is cold and outdoor recess is not available. We are so grateful they have a place to go with materials just for them! Some of the students like relaxing on our new, clean, comfy carpet, and some like to use our new play doh or fidgets. \r\n\r\nStudents of all ages have been using the space with me, the social worker, or other school-based therapists like the occupational therapist. Those students, and many more of all ages, are loving taking breaks in the room to get to use the materials we have because of you! The legos, paints, and play doh toys are favorites with some of the older students, and our books are getting a lot of use too! \r\n\r\nThank you so much for your generosity!","fullyFundedDate":1760714867478,"projectUrl":"project/pressing-pause-to-reset/9796863/","projectTitle":"Pressing Pause to Reset!","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Munch","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp4981924_orig.jpg?crop=829,829,x129,y129&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1726664072966","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/munchsmunchkins"},{"teacherId":9197700,"projectId":9862020,"letterContent":"The IEP support tools helped my students learn and self-regulate by giving them the structure, accommodations, and strategies they need to be successful in the classroom.

IEP tools also support self-regulation by providing clear routines, calming strategies, and prompts that help students recognize their feelings and choose appropriate responses.
