As a school counselor, I see many children come to school with anxiety. Once they are here, it's important to teach kids the skills to be able to work through times of anxiety. \r\nYour contributions to a particular lesson that I was teaching on coping with anxiety is so appreciated! I started a 6 week group with kids that have overwhelming anxiety. One of the lessons was that they created a calming jar. I was able to walk kids through the process of what a calming jar is, why we would use it, and how and when to use it. The kids were SO excited to do this activity. During this activity, it was so nice to see how encouraging and complementary students were to each other. Every jar looked different, and the kids were so wonderful to each other about it!\r\nThank you again for your generosity. This activity was one small step towards helping children.","fullyFundedDate":1755770882857,"projectUrl":"project/sel-calming-jars/9615123/","projectTitle":"Sel Calming Jars","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Hollinrake","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp9571477_orig.jpg?crop=1:1,smart&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1720459285097","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9571477"},{"teacherId":9571477,"projectId":9484175,"letterContent":"I wanted to thank you all so much for donating to my students.

Your donations bought all the supplies necessary to make these jars! \r\nSo many other students have come to my office, asking if they can make a calming jar too!
