Because of you, our classroom has been able to grow in such meaningful ways. Your kindness has helped us create a calm, nurturing space where children can learn to recognize, understand, and express their emotions — a skill that will guide them not only through school but through life.\r\n\r\nIn our Montessori classroom, we believe that education is about the whole child — mind, body, and spirit. Academic success begins with emotional well-being. The materials and resources your donation provided have given our students the chance to explore their feelings in a healthy, hands-on way. From identifying emotions through stories and visuals to practicing calm-down strategies and problem-solving with friends, these lessons have brought so much heart into our daily routine.\r\n\r\nIt has been truly beautiful to see how much the children have grown in their ability to understand both their own emotions and the emotions of others. We have seen students learn to take deep breaths when they feel frustrated, to use their words to express sadness or disappointment, and to show kindness when a friend is upset. Every day, we watch them practice empathy — offering a hug, helping a peer, or using words like \"I can see you're feeling sad\" or \"I understand how you feel.\" These are small moments that make a big impact, and they are possible because of the support you've given.\r\n\r\nYour donation has helped our classroom become a space filled with peace, connection, and emotional growth. The resources you helped provide — from emotion cards to books and mindfulness tools — have created countless opportunities for meaningful discussions. The children have learned that all feelings are valid and that it's okay to experience a wide range of emotions. They've also learned strategies to help them self-regulate, communicate, and make positive choices when those big feelings arise.\r\n\r\nOne of the most rewarding things to witness is the children supporting one another. When one child reminds another to \"take a breath\" or asks, \"Do you want to talk about it?\" it's clear that these lessons are making a lasting difference. These early experiences in emotional awareness build the foundation for lifelong empathy, confidence, and compassion — the true heart of Montessori education.\r\n\r\nYour generosity has made all of this possible. Because of you, our classroom is not just a place where children learn academic skills but a community where they learn to understand themselves and care deeply for others. These are lessons that will help them navigate friendships, challenges, and the world beyond our classroom walls.\r\n\r\nThank you for believing in the importance of early emotional education and for helping us nurture kindness, awareness, and peace in the next generation. You've given my students the gift of understanding their hearts — and that is one of the most meaningful gifts of all.","fullyFundedDate":1676421706827,"projectUrl":"project/recognizing-emotions-and-moving-our-bodi/7112619/","projectTitle":"Recognizing Emotions And Moving Our Bodies","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Shea Isley","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp8915269_orig.jpg?crop=1440,1440,x0,y182&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1690949298910","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/8915269"},{"teacherId":5977874,"projectId":9454684,"letterContent":"The students were so excited to receive updated chromebooks for our classroom.
