Since receiving your donations, I have been able to expand the number of students that I serve, and have provided noise-cancelling headphones for kiddos across classrooms and grade levels. Students have especially enjoyed the emotion plushies, lining them up to communicate their feelings or using them to squeeze and release stress. Calming, sensory stickers were provided to students who often experience the wiggles in their seat, giving them something to focus on physically while receiving instruction. These seemingly small tools have made such an impact on our young learners, and I cannot think you enough for your generosity.","fullyFundedDate":1755878708748,"projectUrl":"project/supporting-elementary-students-learn-emo/9601537/","projectTitle":"Supporting Elementary Students Learn Emotion Regulation!","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Strauss","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp10179889_orig.jpg?crop=1:1,smart&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1755281762136","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/10179889"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_57691","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":504,"numTeachers":36,"percentFrplEligible":95,"percentAsian":9,"percentBlack":31,"percentWhite":9,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":41,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"K - 5","studentTeacherRatio":"14.0:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"URBAN","ncesMetroType":"CITY_MIDSIZE"},"inStateSupporters":54.3,"schoolId":57691,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Welborn Elementary School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Welborn Elementary School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/kansas/kansas-city-kansas-city-public-schools/welborn-elementary-school/57691"}
