As a school psychologist, I work with students with a wide range of behavioral, emotional, and social needs. These materials have given me additional hands-on tools to help students learn skills such as emotional regulation, coping strategies, problem-solving, and appropriate ways to communicate their needs.\r\n\r\nMoving forward, I plan to continue incorporating these resources into individualized behavior plans, and interventions for students who need additional support. My goal is for students to gradually become more independent in recognizing their emotions, communicating their needs, and using positive coping strategies in the classroom.\r\n\r\nThank you so much for supporting this project and our students. Your generosity has provided resources that I will be able to use with many students, not only this school year but for years to come. I am incredibly grateful that you chose to support the important work of helping our students feel successful, supported, and ready to learn.","fullyFundedDate":1788744304410,"projectUrl":"project/tools-for-positive-behavior-supporting/10592717/","projectTitle":"Tools for Positive Behavior: Supporting Every Student","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Saporito","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp10216337_orig.png?crop=478,478,x0,y103&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1755865108249","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/10216337"},{"teacherId":10113635,"projectId":10523406,"letterContent":"This project has made a positive difference in my classroom by giving students a fun and meaningful way to recognize their positive choices, effort, and growth.

Each item may seem small on its own, but together, these donations have made a meaningful impact on our classroom environment and the experiences my students have each day. As an ESE teacher, I know that the right tools, resources, and encouragement can make a tremendous difference in helping students feel successful, confident, and included. \r\n\r\n One of the items we received was a button maker and supplies. This has opened up a fun and creative way for students to participate in classroom activities and create buttons that represent their accomplishments and positive messages. The button maker gives students an opportunity to make something with their own hands and proudly share it with others. \r\n\r\n The \"I Can Do Hard Things\" sign has become a wonderful reminder in our classroom. School can sometimes feel challenging for students, especially when they are working through difficult academic tasks, practicing social skills, learning new routines, or trying something outside of their comfort zone. Having this positive message visible in the classroom reinforces the idea that challenges do not mean failure. Instead, challenges are opportunities to practice, persevere, and grow.\r\n\r\nMost importantly, these donations communicate something much bigger to my students: people believe in them. When students see new materials and special resources being added to their classroom, they can see that others care about their education and want them to have the tools they need to succeed. That sense of support can have a lasting impact on a child's confidence and willingness to learn.\r\n\r\n Thank you for helping make our classroom a more engaging, encouraging, and supportive place.

They touched it, sat on it, and immediately noticed how soft and comfortable it was.\r\n\r\nSince then, we have started having more independent reading and writing time, and the rug is the very first place my students want to be!
