How Do Dinosaurs Learn to Be Kind has been a great addition. Dinosaurs are seen to be scary and assumed not kind, kids love to see them transform from doing things they should not to being kind to others. \r\n\r\nThis is a great way for them to see that people can change. With hard work and learning new skills, they can recognize the difference in themselves and others. Just because a person hasn't learned yet, does not mean they can't.","fullyFundedDate":1767122740150,"projectUrl":"project/making-friends-that-are-good-for-you-pt/9779973/","projectTitle":"Making Friends That Are Good for You Pt. 2","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Brintle","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-2_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/8127723"},{"teacherId":8127723,"projectId":5903191,"letterContent":"Thank you so much for helping my students.

We pair reading with lessons and activities to make all aspects of school and growing up a little easier. \r\n\r\nAs kids are always evolving and growing, so are their friendships. These books will help them see the friends that are best for them and help them be the best type of friend they can be to others. This book shows kids that just because a certain type of friend is expected or the norm, that it is the best fit.

My students were so excited to learn to take a breath and find a calm way to regulate themselves. They know they can ask for a break and use Lego bricks to calm and redirect their feelings. One surprising thing that I learned was they like to have them showcased. So they have a special place in the room that they are able to display them for a set amount of time before the pieces become available to be used again. \r\n\r\nThey are also speaking up and using their voice through play. Games such as Headbanz have them speaking to peers through play. They get excited and their shyness slips away. This build their confidence as well as grows peer relationships. \r\n\r\nI have found Uno Attack to be a great way to make decisions and understand there is no negative consequence. It is acceptable and encouraged to play a 2X card and everyone can laugh and have fun with the choice the student made. The kids are not being mean, just playing the game as intended.","fullyFundedDate":1635180723403,"projectUrl":"project/games-and-activities-to-focus-us-on-lear/5930977/","projectTitle":"Games and Activities to Focus Us on Learning","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Brintle","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-2_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/8127723"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_94670","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":1013,"numTeachers":42,"percentFrplEligible":60,"percentAsian":15,"percentBlack":8,"percentWhite":29,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":36,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"Pre-K - 6","studentTeacherRatio":"24.1:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":false,"metroType":"SUBURBAN","ncesMetroType":"SUBURB_LARGE"},"inStateSupporters":58.8,"schoolId":94670,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Dr Bernice Todd Academy on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Dr Bernice Todd Academy","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/california/corona-norco-unified-school-district/todd-elementary-school/94670"}
