The social-emotional learning books you helped provide have become some of the most meaningful resources in our classroom. Through these stories, my students have explored topics such as kindness, empathy, perseverance, friendship, and managing big emotions. I have watched them make connections between the characters' experiences and their own lives, leading to thoughtful conversations that have strengthened our classroom community.\r\n\r\nOne of the most rewarding parts of this project has been seeing students who are often quiet or hesitant to share begin opening up during our discussions. The books have given them a safe way to talk about their feelings and experiences, and they have helped my students realize that they are not alone in the challenges they face. Watching them show more compassion toward one another and develop a deeper understanding of themselves has been truly special.\r\n\r\nThe color printer has also made a tremendous difference in our classroom. It allows me to create engaging materials and visual supports that capture students' attention and support their learning. Something as simple as seeing their hard work showcased in vibrant color helps them feel valued and recognized.\r\n\r\nAs a teacher, I am incredibly grateful for these resources. They have helped me create a classroom environment where students feel seen, heard, and supported. Your kindness has provided more than books and a printer—it has given my students opportunities to grow emotionally, connect with one another, and take pride in their learning. Thank you for making such a meaningful impact on the lives of my students.","fullyFundedDate":1779057025485,"projectUrl":"project/powering-up-minds-and-emotions/10245557/","projectTitle":"Powering Up Minds and Emotions!","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Grendzinski","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp6818410_orig.jpg?crop=645,645,x0,y0&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1568338679784","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/6818410"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_44098","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":590,"numTeachers":47,"percentFrplEligible":95,"percentAsian":1,"percentBlack":17,"percentWhite":22,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":52,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","percentHawaiianImputed":0,"percentMultiracialImputed":5,"gradesServed":"Pre-K - 5","studentTeacherRatio":"12.6:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"URBAN","ncesMetroType":"CITY_MIDSIZE"},"inStateSupporters":81.8,"schoolId":44098,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Maloney Interdist Magnet School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Maloney Interdist Magnet School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/connecticut/waterbury-public-schools/maloney-interdist-magnet-school/44098"}
