Your generosity has made such a positive impact in our classroom, and I am so grateful for your support in helping my students learn and grow emotionally.\r\n\r\nMy students have been so excited to receive all the packages filled with our new sensory items! Each time a new package arrives, they are eager to see what is inside and learn how we can use the materials. One of the most exciting parts has been creating a special calming spot in our classroom where students can go when they are feeling overwhelmed, frustrated, or need a quiet moment to reset. We are working together to make this space feel safe, welcoming, and comfortable for everyone.\r\n\r\nWhen my students first saw the new materials, their faces lit up with excitement and curiosity. They were eager to explore the different sensory items and discover how each one could help them. It has been wonderful to see their enthusiasm as we introduce these resources and talk about how we can use them to manage our big emotions in healthy ways.\r\n\r\nAs we continue working on this project, our next steps are to help students recognize and name their emotions, identify when they need a break, and practice choosing strategies that help them feel calm and ready to learn. We will continue exploring the sensory materials and learning how to use our calming spot appropriately. Our goal is to help students build self-regulation skills, develop independence, and understand that all feelings are okay, even when they are big. What matters is learning how to express those feelings and work through them in a safe and positive way.\r\n\r\nThank you again for investing in my students and providing resources that support their emotional well-being. Your kindness is helping us create a classroom environment where students feel supported, understood, and empowered to navigate their emotions. These materials are more than just sensory tools; they are helping us build important life skills that our students can carry with them beyond the classroom.","fullyFundedDate":1791580542660,"projectUrl":"project/supporting-little-hearts-through-big-fee/10701815/","projectTitle":"Supporting Little Hearts Through Big Feelings","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Caviness","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp9125344_orig.png?crop=1:1,smart&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1690670925678","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9125344"},{"teacherId":10700178,"projectId":10709574,"letterContent":"Thank You for Fueling Our Little Trailblazers!\r\n\r\nThank you, Chevron & Kent for your generous support of our project, \"Fueling Little Trailblazers Every Day in Every Way!\" Your donation is making a meaningful difference in our classroom by helping provide resources that make learning exciting, engaging, and hands-on. My students are curious, energetic, and full of big dreams, and having the right materials helps bring those dreams closer to reality. When students have opportunities to explore, create, and learn through meaningful activities, they become more confident, motivated, and excited about coming to school each day.\r\n\r\nWe are using our new resources to make classroom lessons more interactive and connect learning to real-life experiences. Whether we are practicing math skills, strengthening problem-solving abilities, or working together to complete classroom activities, these materials help my students become active participants in their learning. Seeing their excitement as they explore new materials, share ideas with classmates, and discover new ways to solve problems reminds me how important it is to create a classroom where every child feels supported and capable of success.\r\n\r\nAs we continue our learning journey, our next steps are to build on these experiences by encouraging students to think critically, collaborate with others, and apply what they learn to new challenges. Your generosity is helping us create a learning environment where our Little Trailblazers can grow academically, socially, and creatively. Chevron & Kent , I thank you for investing in our students and helping fuel their success every day, in every way! Your kindness reminds our students that their community believes in them and their bright futures.","fullyFundedDate":1791206084338,"projectUrl":"project/fueling-little-trailblazers-everyday-in/10709574/","projectTitle":"Fueling Little Trailblazers EVERYDAY in EVERY Way .","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Bryant","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-10_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/10700178"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_13085","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":517,"numTeachers":25,"percentFrplEligible":78,"percentAsian":3,"percentBlack":2,"percentWhite":16,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":75,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","percentHawaiianImputed":0,"percentMultiracialImputed":1,"gradesServed":"Pre-K - 6","studentTeacherRatio":"20.7:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"URBAN","ncesMetroType":"CITY_MIDSIZE"},"inStateSupporters":79.8,"schoolId":13085,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Jones Elementary School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Jones Elementary School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/texas/midland-independent-school-district/jones-elementary-school/13085"}
