I can now create durable learning materials that students can use again and again during centers and small group activities. This helps keep lessons engaging while saving time and resources. The binder clips also help me keep student work and classroom materials organized so our day runs more smoothly.\r\n\r\nThe iPad has been a great tool for my own growth as an educator. I use it to access professional development and find new strategies and activities that I can bring back into the classroom to better support my students.\r\n\r\nOne of my favorite moments recently was seeing my students excited to use new laminated activities during learning time. Watching them collaborate and stay engaged reminded me how impactful these resources are.\r\n\r\nThank you again for investing in my students and our classroom!

The snacks and supplies you provided are used daily to support emotional regulation, focus, and relationship building.\r\n One meaningful moment that stands out happened during a recent SEL lesson on identifying emotions and coping strategies. Students were able to choose a calming snack while working through a feelings chart and practicing grounding techniques. Having their basic needs met helped them stay present, engaged, and open to learning something that can be very challenging for students with emotional needs.\r\n When the students first saw the materials, their reactions were full of excitement and gratitude! Several students asked, \"Are these really for us?\" and immediately began talking about which snack would help them calm down or feel more comfortable during tough moments. That sense of being cared for made a visible difference in their confidence and willingness to participate! \r\n Thanks to you, our next steps include continuing structured SEL lessons focused on self regulation, peer communication and coping skills. Students will use these supplies during small group activities, reflection time, and reward based goal setting as they build emotional awareness and resilience!","fullyFundedDate":1763498218485,"projectUrl":"project/helping-10-students-thrive-for-sel-clas/9794158/","projectTitle":"Helping 10 Students Thrive: for SEL Classroom Snacks & Supplies","teacherDisplayName":"Mr. Galego","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp9274034_orig.jpg?crop=1080,1080,x0,y0&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1725541560434","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9274034"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_60363","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":525,"numTeachers":41,"percentFrplEligible":95,"percentAsian":0,"percentBlack":12,"percentWhite":40,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":35,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","percentHawaiianImputed":0,"percentMultiracialImputed":10,"gradesServed":"Pre-K - 8","studentTeacherRatio":"12.8:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"SUBURBAN","ncesMetroType":"SUBURB_LARGE"},"inStateSupporters":57.9,"schoolId":60363,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about John J Doran Elementary School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"John J Doran Elementary School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/massachusetts/fall-river-school-district/john-j-doran-elementary-school/60363"}
