Thanks to you, we received a wonderful assortment of resources—food items, stickers, a whiteboard, tissues, The Game of Real Life, a Conversation Game, and a wobble stool—that have already made a meaningful impact on our students.\r\n\r\nWhen the materials first arrived, the excitement was palpable. Students were immediately drawn to the wobble stool, wanting to immediately test it out. It's now a favorite for our sessions to keep those that need a little movement to stay focused. The stickers have become a fun and motivating reward system, and the tissues—believe it or not—were met with cheers because they're a small but essential comfort in our space, and way more sensitive than school-issued tissues!\r\n\r\nOne particularly memorable moment thus far was during a social-emotional learning activity using the Conversation Game. Students opened up in ways I hadn't seen before, sharing thoughts and feelings with honesty and empathy. It sparked a beautiful discussion about kindness and understanding, and it's now a regular part of our groups.","fullyFundedDate":1758369871691,"projectUrl":"project/comfort-and-care-helping-students-feel/9615162/","projectTitle":"Comfort and Care: Helping Students Feel Ready to Learn","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Maloney","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp9683376_orig.jpg?crop=720,720,x315,y0&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1755517967477","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9683376"},{"teacherId":9465294,"projectId":8719365,"letterContent":"Thank you for the items from my gift packages.
