Students watched in wonder as we unboxed the cozy calm-down tent, plush bean bag chair, soothing weighted stuffed animal, and sensory squares.\r\n\r\nThe tent provides a safe sanctuary away from classroom stimulation. Students are learning to identify when they feel overwhelmed, de-escalate independently, and return to group activities focused.","fullyFundedDate":1787942533446,"projectUrl":"project/creating-a-safe-space-for-big-feelings/10464104/","projectTitle":"Creating a Safe Space for Big Feelings","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Saechao","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp4866090_orig.jpg?crop=530,530,x0,y3&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1727386503741","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/4866090"},{"teacherId":4866090,"projectId":10464052,"letterContent":"Thanks to your generous soccer balls and net donation, our students now have a wonderful, active game to play on the grassy field during recess every day. When I first opened the package, the students were in absolute awe and wanted to start playing immediately. They were thrilled to see two nets and plenty of soccer balls—they even thoughtfully suggested sharing a few with the TK classroom!\r\n\r\nI let the students vote on which color ball to inflate first, and they excitedly chose yellow to match the nets. As we passed the ball around the circle, they couldn't wait to touch and kick it. The size is absolutely perfect for kindergarten hands and feet, and recess has become so much fun with everyone kicking the soccer balls around and taking turns trying to score goals.\r\n\r\nFor one of our Fun Friday activity choices, the class voted to play a class soccer game, learning how to work together as a team while filling the field with joy and laughter. Now during recess, it is inspiring to see my kindergartners taking the initiative to organize soccer games with students from other classes and stepping up as leaders. Thank you all once again for your incredible kindness and support in making this project possible!","fullyFundedDate":1787013880851,"projectUrl":"project/soccer-for-growing-bodies-and-minds/10464052/","projectTitle":"Soccer for Growing Bodies and Minds","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Saechao","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp4866090_orig.jpg?crop=530,530,x0,y3&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1727386503741","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/4866090"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_59336","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":220,"numTeachers":16,"percentFrplEligible":95,"percentAsian":8,"percentBlack":22,"percentWhite":8,"percentIndigenous":1,"percentLatinx":50,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","percentHawaiianImputed":1,"percentMultiracialImputed":6,"gradesServed":"Pre-K - 6","studentTeacherRatio":"13.8:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"URBAN","ncesMetroType":"CITY_LARGE"},"inStateSupporters":86.7,"schoolId":59336,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about FR Keith B Kenny Elementary School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"FR Keith B Kenny Elementary School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/california/sacramento-city-unified-school-district/fr-keith-b-kenny-elementary-school/59336"}
