The LEGO Creator set and LEGO sunflowers immediately became a centerpiece for collaboration: students worked in small teams to follow directions, experiment with different builds, and then combine pieces to create a classroom \"garden\" display. That project sparked conversation about following steps, sharing tools, and celebrating each team's creative choices. The finished display now lives near our calm corner and students take pride explaining their designs to peers and visitors.\r\n\r\nThe Thinking Putty and the Kasfalci Feelings Chart have become essential tools for emotional regulation and vocabulary-building. During a recent math rotation that felt challenging for some students, several children used the putty at our reflection table to calm down and return to tasks with renewed focus. We also use the feelings chart during morning meetings and after conflicts; students point to and name emotions, role-play appropriate responses, and record one small goal for the day. The LED clock helps students manage time during centers and transitions, giving them visible cues that reduce anxiety around task changes.","fullyFundedDate":1762267473205,"projectUrl":"project/support-tools/9855430/","projectTitle":"Support Tools","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Anastasia Frangos","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp8105038_orig.jpg?crop=1956,1956,x0,y0&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1648578901927","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/8105038"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_55","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":605,"numTeachers":46,"percentFrplEligible":14,"percentAsian":12,"percentBlack":1,"percentWhite":67,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":10,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"Pre-K - 5","studentTeacherRatio":"13.2:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":false,"titleOne":false,"metroType":"URBAN","ncesMetroType":"CITY_LARGE"},"inStateSupporters":61.9,"schoolId":55,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about PS 158 the Bayard Taylor School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"PS 158 the Bayard Taylor School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/new-york/new-york-city-dept-of-ed/ps-158-bayard-taylor/55"}
