Our students have been so excited to use the new games, fidgets, and calming tools. These items are already making a positive impact by helping students manage big emotions, practice self-regulation, and return to learning with a more focused and calm mindset. It has been wonderful to see students using these tools appropriately and feeling empowered to take ownership of their emotions.\r\n\r\nI am so grateful for your generosity and can't wait to share the Calm Corner bins with classrooms during Random Acts of Kindness Week. These materials will continue to support our students' social-emotional growth and help create calmer, more positive learning environments for everyone.

But to my GATE students, it's a way to bridge the gap between a difficult math equation on a screen and a physical object they can hold. They are learning about geometry, spatial reasoning, and material science in a way that is completely hands-on.\r\n\r\nA student story: We have one student, who has always been incredibly bright but often \"bored\" with standard assignments. Since the printer arrived, he have completely transformed. Seeing that student being excited to \"debug\" a print job has been a highlight of my year. This technology has finally given them a challenge that moves as fast as their brain does.\r\n\r\nThank you for providing the spark that ignited this passion.","fullyFundedDate":1698834389413,"projectUrl":"project/lets-3d-print-together-to-build-a-bette/7982487/","projectTitle":"Let's 3D Print Together to Build a Better Future","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Zlotecka","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-4_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/8141287"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_69618","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":696,"numTeachers":42,"percentFrplEligible":95,"percentAsian":7,"percentBlack":9,"percentWhite":32,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":38,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"Pre-K - 5","studentTeacherRatio":"16.6:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":false,"metroType":"URBAN","ncesMetroType":"CITY_LARGE"},"inStateSupporters":70.8,"schoolId":69618,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Sheila R Tarr Elementary School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Sheila R Tarr Elementary School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/nevada/clark-county-school-district/sheila-tarr-elementary-school/69618"}
