This allows them to learn that they are not alone and that all people have emotions.\r\n Now that they know their emotions, know what to do when they feel that way, and also know who they can talk to in their pee group when they are feeling that emotion they have more of a chance of having healthy and happy peer relationships, as well as student and teacher relationships.","fullyFundedDate":1755724739220,"projectUrl":"project/a-little-spot-of-love-for-our-kids/9515432/","projectTitle":"A Little Spot of Love for Our Kids!","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Miller","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp9245770_orig.jpg?crop=1:1,smart&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1753890575421","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9245770"},{"teacherId":9302434,"projectId":8571299,"letterContent":"When the DonorsChoose boxes began to arrive, my kids were so excited to open the boxes together each day!
