The project that I had created back in November was meant to provide my students with supplies that would help them feel safe and comfortable inside my classroom. I wanted to make sure that it was a place they could come to every day to take chances with interacting with their peers, sharing thoughts during lesson discussions, and challenging themselves in their own assignments. With the supplies that you have been able to provide, my class now has the opportunity for just that. \r\n\r\nThe calm strips have been very helpful at their desks as we prepare for state testing. The cushions have been very comfortable to sit on during Fun Friday periods. \r\nThe Bad Guys books allow them to show more interest during independent reading.\r\nThe conversation cubes allows them to actually talk to their friends and classmates about topics they may not talk about otherwise.\r\nThe Magical Yet series is SO powerful with teaching kids lessons about how to stay patient with themselves and how to stay busy when they feel there is not much to do.\r\n\r\nWe are going to thoroughly enjoy all of these materials for the remainder of this year, and they will most certainly carry into next year.\r\n\r\nThank you again.","fullyFundedDate":1773845717652,"projectUrl":"project/exciting-social-emotional-learning-mater/9906019/","projectTitle":"Exciting Social Emotional Learning Materials for 2026!","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Blumer","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp6375032_orig.jpg?crop=3024,3024,x0,y504&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1722956765144","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/6375032"},{"teacherId":3132876,"projectId":10139683,"letterContent":"Thank you for making this project possible.
