Through your help, my first year as a school counselor has been great. The resources that were because of your donations have helped multiple students across many different grade levels during our small group times. The posters are hanging in my office and when students come to visit me they are often reading through the posters finding what calming strategies, or even where they are at in the zone of regulation. This has helped many conversations to flow more easily and for students to have something to direct them. \r\n\r\nI work with a wide variety of students across K-8. The card games, posters, and mediation cards work with all ages. I have been able to use these resources with any of the students who come into the room. While most of them think they are just playing a game, they are in fact learning more about themselves and how to process information. \r\n\r\nI plan to continue to use these resources to assist students throughout this school year and into the next. All of my current students are so happy with the new additions to the office and I know they will be treasured for many years.","fullyFundedDate":1756175074557,"projectUrl":"project/counseling-in-the-now/9286927/","projectTitle":"Counseling in the Now","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Lewis","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp8959631_orig.jpg?crop=1:1,smart&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1676301958109","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/8959631"},{"teacherId":9724948,"projectId":9471718,"letterContent":"Your generous donation has added variety to my classroom library.

The texts we read through our curriculum are seen by students as necessary reading, not reading for enjoyment.
