As you know, students deal with multiple stressors in their lives and this can negatively impact their ability to focus and concentrate at school.\r\n\r\nThe fun fidgets: stress balls, games, anxiety strips, cubes, stretchy toys, and foam offers them easy, useable items to keep in their backpack during school. The start of school can be stressful and many students have been taking the fun fidgets from my office to help them transition back to school easier. \r\n\r\nThank you for all that you do to promote positive mental health with our youth!","fullyFundedDate":1750256203604,"projectUrl":"project/fun-with-fidgets/9245840/","projectTitle":"Fun With Fidgets!","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Walcott","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp9708058_orig.jpg?crop=2706,2706,x0,y0&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1744120307608","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9708058"},{"teacherId":5260989,"projectId":8855176,"letterContent":"Thank you for proving comfortable seating in our library. Students have loved grabbing a book and relaxing in the new chairs as they wait for classmates to get books.

The transformation these four chairs have made in our space goes beyond this simple thank you, but we do truly \"Thank YOU!\" for making this happen. \r\n\r\nWhen I first started in this position, students could be heard complaining that he space was uncomfortable. With the majority of the furniture available to students being the traditional plastic chairs, students were not keen to sit and stay a while. Now it's a rush to find a good book quickly so they can enjoy the comfy seating. Our rule is the comfy seats are for active readers only, and these seats are indicting them to increase their active reading. Students at our school track there reading by logging minutes. At this time we are almost a 1 million minutes read this year! Making the space an inviting place to come a read has helped us foster that goal.
