Since receiving this donation, students have learn about the kindness spot and how each of us can continue to spread kindness. The educator's guide provides activities in which we used a science experiment to give a visual of how kindness can spread. The students have also learned about their peaceful spot and the emotions that can take away their peaceful spot, such as anger and sadness. The students are excited to see what emotion will visit their classroom next. This gift has already helped with teaching students about their emotions and we are very thankful for those that have made this possible.","fullyFundedDate":1730733500777,"projectUrl":"project/building-a-foundation-of-emotional-aware/8728811/","projectTitle":"Building a Foundation of Emotional Awareness","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Mayer","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-3_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9722884"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_84588","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":460,"numTeachers":27,"percentFrplEligible":55,"percentAsian":0,"percentBlack":1,"percentWhite":92,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":3,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"Pre-K - 5","studentTeacherRatio":"17.0:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"RURAL","ncesMetroType":"RURAL_DISTANT"},"inStateSupporters":87.0,"schoolId":84588,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Western Reserve Elementary School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Western Reserve Elementary School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/ohio/western-reserve-local-sch-dist-huron/western-reserve-elementary-school/84588"}
