I use the kits during small groups and as a go-to option for early finishers. It's been amazing to see the collaboration, creativity, and problem-solving that comes out of these activities. These kits have also helped me learn more about my students' unique interests and strengths. Even students who only join my class for a short time are excited to dive into these STEM sets. I'm incredibly grateful for your generosity, and I'm excited to continue using these materials for years to come.","fullyFundedDate":1731539642842,"projectUrl":"project/building-bright-minds-with-stem-adventur/8792288/","projectTitle":"Building Bright Minds with STEM Adventures!","teacherDisplayName":"Mr. Kushner","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp4941148_orig.jpg?crop=640,640,x0,y0&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1598732361182","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/kushner"},{"teacherId":3760585,"projectId":8950969,"letterContent":"You should have heard the joyful cheering when the yoga mats were first introduced to the class. Students really felt valued that they got their \"own mat\" to use for our yoga time. They have already become accustomed to getting out a yoga mat and stretching, meditating or just laying to come back into focus after recess. This is a skill and activity that will follow them through life and that they can now go back to whenever they need to self-regulate. \r\n We will continue to go through our calming yoga flow along with our positive affirmations for each move; I am calm, I am kind, I am strong, I am brave, I think positive, I am peaceful, I am focused, and I am safe. These motions along with affirmations will hopefully become so natural that the students begin to actually feel more calm, positive and safe. \r\n Thank you for donating and helping to bring this element of peace into our 2nd grade classroom. They all enjoy the mats in their own way, but collectively, the mats have brought another way to bring our classroom community together. A collective purpose, a group activity, a growing community of Hayhurst Huskies!
