In our special education classroom, literature is a powerful tool for emotional growth. Stories like the Little Spot series help students identify emotions such as frustration, anxiety, and sadness, while also introducing strategies to manage them in healthy ways. The accompanying flipcharts give students visual tools they can use throughout the day—helping them connect emotions with actions and practice important self-regulation skills.\r\n\r\nReading in our classroom is an engaging, hands-on experience. We don't just read—we talk, role-play, and reflect. Inspired by the stories, students have even started creating their own characters based on the emotions they experience. They're now working on personal books that explore these feelings and the strategies that help them cope. One student proudly refers to his \"Little Spot of Frustration\" and uses breathing exercises to calm down, while another is developing a story about a character who learns how to ask a friend to play. These moments are a beautiful blend of creativity, literacy, and emotional development.\r\n\r\nYour support has made this possible. Because of you, our students are not just learning to read—they're learning about themselves, their feelings, and how to navigate the world with confidence. Thank you for making a lasting difference.","fullyFundedDate":1734707297106,"projectUrl":"project/empowering-emotions-special-education-e/8832962/","projectTitle":"Empowering Emotions: Special Education Emotional Literacy Books","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Fleshman","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-1_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9651981"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_72001","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":425,"numTeachers":24,"percentFrplEligible":36,"percentAsian":0,"percentBlack":0,"percentWhite":67,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":24,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"K - 5","studentTeacherRatio":"17.7:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":false,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"SUBURBAN","ncesMetroType":"SUBURB_MIDSIZE"},"inStateSupporters":44.0,"schoolId":72001,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Owyhee Elementary School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Owyhee Elementary School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/idaho/nampa-school-district/owyhee-elementary-school/72001"}
