The journals come in handy for future and in the moment situations. I have been able to reach a student, whether it's because of bullying or just anxiety or just having a place to put your thoughts down. This has been such a sweet and amazing process! My students are very precious and I like to let them know that what their thoughts are valid. I tell them that they can share it with someone they trust when they're ready, or keep it to themselves. But I also remind him that it's good to reach out to someone they trust!","fullyFundedDate":1740837652860,"projectUrl":"project/journaling-escape/9036652/","projectTitle":"Journaling Escape","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Mona","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-1_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9318940"},{"teacherId":9848662,"projectId":8969465,"letterContent":"I was so happy to receive these items and set up my station for kids to grab something and cool down with! They have been able to take the time to think about what they want to say and what problems they're having in class while using the fidget toys. The weighted blanket has also come in very handy for my students who just need to have quiet time and take a rest somewhere quietly when they feel overwhelmed. I look forward to utilizing more of my items as the school year goes forward.

It has been an excited school-year so far, filled with music-making, performing, and reading. Most recently, my students and I read Laban Carrick Hill's \"When the Beat Was Born: DJ Kool Herc and the Creation of Hip Hop.\" This text allowed us to explore the history of hip-hop, which then led to us creating our own beats in GarageBand! Adding several new texts to our classroom library has sparked curiosity in my students, and has led to many new and exciting lessons.

My students were thrilled to see the resources that have been added to our music classroom, and have done an incredible job so far in their growth and learning.
