These tools—including fidgets, visual timers, and a cozy bean bag chair—have quickly become essential supports for helping students regulate emotions, refocus, and return to learning.\r\n\r\nOne especially meaningful moment came during a student check-in when a student who was feeling overwhelmed chose to use the bean bag chair and a calming fidget during our conversation. With that support, the student was able to decompress, talk through their feelings, and successfully return to class ready to learn. Moments like this show how powerful it can be to give students appropriate tools to manage emotions in a healthy way.\r\n\r\nWhen students first saw the new materials, they were excited and curious—but more importantly, they felt seen. Many students immediately recognized the tools as supports for calming their bodies or staying focused, and they took ownership in using them appropriately. The visual timers have been especially helpful in helping students understand transitions and expectations, reducing anxiety and frustration throughout the school day.\r\n\r\nMoving forward, these resources will continue to support students during behavior check-ins, small group interventions, and moments when students need a safe space to reset. As students build self-regulation skills, they are better able to engage in learning, build positive relationships, and make successful choices at school.\r\n\r\nThank you for giving our students tools that support not just their learning, but their emotional well-being. Your generosity is helping create a school environment where students feel supported, understood, and ready to succeed.","fullyFundedDate":1713739214924,"projectUrl":"project/creating-calm-empowering-students-well/8323303/","projectTitle":"Creating Calm: Empowering Students' Well-Being Through Therapeutic Resources","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Shaw","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp5477796_orig.jpg?crop=1:1,smart&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1657587374890","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/dakota-shaw"},{"teacherId":8822817,"projectId":9662731,"letterContent":"Technology in our classroom helps students learn by making lessons more interactive, engaging, and accessible for all learners.

They are eager to use the technology because it makes lessons feel fun, meaningful, and connected to real-world skills.\r\n\r\nStudents who typically struggle with focus, confidence, or participation have especially warmed to this technology.

The bean bag chairs have quickly become a favorite spot in the room, offering a cozy, calming place to read or work independently. These flexible seating options are especially valuable for students who need a little extra comfort or a break from traditional desks.\r\n\r\nThe books you helped provide have added fresh energy to our classroom library. Students are eagerly reaching for them during reading time, and we've already had thoughtful discussions sparked by new titles. For some of my reluctant readers, just having something new and exciting to dive into has made a world of difference.\r\n\r\nThe headphones are already being put to great use during our tech rotations, allowing students to stay focused and work independently without distractions. This is especially helpful during our online learning programs, where quiet concentration is key.\r\n\r\nThe Expo markers and cleaning wipes may seem like simple supplies, but they help keep our learning environment both interactive and clean. Students use the markers for everything from math practice to brainstorming ideas — and having a reliable supply has kept engagement high and lessons running smoothly. The wipes help us stay healthy and maintain a classroom we can all feel proud of.\r\n\r\nYour donation has helped create a more inviting, effective, and joyful space for learning — and for that, I am so deeply grateful.

We had quite an adventure getting these shelves delivered.

I'm so glad I did!\r\n\r\nI was able to make two new areas in the library with a specific focus. One bookshelf zone focuses on Social-Emotional Learning, including soft book character plushies, feelings-focused activities, and materials for a \"calm down\" corner. The other bookshelf is a workhorse, housing paper trays for me, book bins for my kindergarteners, and some art supplies.\r\n\r\nThe kids were so excited when they walked into the library to see these new areas!
