I have now completed my training and I am prepared to use what I have learned! The training really helped me to better understand the impact of trauma on children. I also learned great strategies to support children who have experienced trauma. There are so many ways school staff can help children so that they are not further traumatized or triggered.\r\nI look forward to utilizing my learning and sharing it with my co-workers. My school will benefit from this experience.","fullyFundedDate":1750880499076,"projectUrl":"project/seeking-certification-in-trauma-informed/9363160/","projectTitle":"Seeking Certification in Trauma-Informed Practices","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Navas","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-4_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/3670826"},{"teacherId":7503017,"projectId":9575892,"letterContent":"Thank you so much for helping to fund my list.

The other set is helping us keep materials organized and protected—such as addition strategies and our tricky word wall.\r\n\r\nWith these folders, students now have organized access to the tools they need, which helps them work more independently while I provide small-group support.

These books are special and will be matched to each unit during our Knowledge instruction. During the year, students were excitedly picking up these books as I would bring them out for each new unit. I didn't have too many, so they were always asking for new ones. Once they saw these, they were thrilled. They asked if they could read them as soon as we started centers. I have the holiday books in other boxes for when each holiday comes around. Students were just as excited to see these because there were some holidays when I didn't have any books.

We've been using the new resources in fun and engaging ways, and the students' reactions have been priceless. When they first saw the new rugs and seat cushions, they were so excited and couldn't wait to try them out. The rugs have created a cozy space for reading time, making it easier for students to relax and enjoy their books, while the flexible seating has helped them stay comfortable and focused during lessons. The addition of seat cushions has made a noticeable difference in keeping students engaged. The lollipops for class prizes have been a big hit too, encouraging participation and making the classroom environment even more fun and welcoming.

The headphones, wall clock, Connect 4, Jenga, UNO games, and class rug, along with the other organizational materials, have truly transformed my classroom into a more engaging, functional, and welcoming space. \r\n\r\nWhen my students first walked in and saw the new materials, their excitement was palpable. They rushed to explore the games, admired the cozy class rug, and asked questions about how we'd be using everything. It was such a joyful moment, filled with curiosity and gratitude! \r\n\r\nThe resources have already made a big impact. The class rug has become our central meeting area, perfect for group discussions, storytime, and collaborative activities. The games like Connect 4, Jenga, and UNO have been integrated into our learning centers, where students practice teamwork, problem-solving, and strategic thinking in a fun and interactive way. \r\n\r\nA standout moment was during our \"Fun Friday,\" where students used the games to reinforce math and language concepts we've been learning in class. It was amazing to see them laughing, strategizing, and learning all at the same time! \r\n\r\nThe organizational materials have been equally invaluable in helping me create a structured and efficient learning environment. With the wall clock and other tools, I've been able to stick to our schedules more effectively, keeping transitions smooth and productive. \r\n\r\nYour support has brought so much joy and enrichment to our classroom.
