The new resources have made a profound, immediate impact on our second graders.\r\n\r\nFirst Reactions\r\nWhen the students first saw the materials, their eyes lit up with pure excitement. They were so eager to try out the new tools and see what this special new corner of our classroom was all about!\r\n\r\nHow We Are Using the New Resources\r\nDuring the first two weeks of school, we practiced how to use the calming corner and its emotional regulation tools. Today, it is amazing to watch the students utilize these resources independently whenever they feel overwhelmed, sad, or frustrated.\r\nThe calming corner has supported students facing vulnerable times, such as navigating grief or missing a parent. It has also helped tremendously with daily academic frustration. Recently, a student grew deeply frustrated while practicing her math facts. Recognizing she needed a reset, she visited the calming corner to recharge, then returned ready to learn. She walked straight over to a small group practicing addition facts with flashcards and successfully jumped right back into her learning with a positive mindset!\r\n\r\nWhat's Next\r\nAs we dive deeper into a challenging curriculum, our goal is to help students carry these tools beyond our calming corner and into every part of their lives. Students will practice using these self-regulation strategies during peer collaborations, learning how to work through social conflicts and group frustrations with empathy and patience. They will also take greater ownership of their learning by setting personal goals during independent work. Ultimately, we are empowering them with life-long coping skills that will help them navigate challenges both inside the classroom and out in the world.\r\n\r\nThank you again for giving our students the space and tools they need to thrive both emotionally and academically!","fullyFundedDate":1779914940274,"projectUrl":"project/calm-hearts-focused-minds-a-2nd-grade/10292992/","projectTitle":"Calm Hearts, Focused Minds: a 2nd Grade Calming Corner","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Fallas","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp8697670_orig.jpg?crop=1:1,smart&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1663210193326","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/8697670"},{"teacherId":1050999,"projectId":9164967,"letterContent":"Thank you so much for your kind generosity by donating to my class!
