These materials have become an important part of our school counseling and social work programs and have given students more opportunities to practice self-regulation, coping skills, emotional expression, and positive relationship skills.\r\n\r\nStudents have used the sensory tools to help identify strategies that allow them to feel calm and ready to learn, while the art supplies have provided a creative way to explore emotions and practice mindfulness. The materials have also been used during individual counseling, small groups, and lunch groups, where students can build skills in a comfortable and welcoming environment.\r\n\r\nOne of the most meaningful parts of this project has been watching students learn that there isn't just one \"right\" way to regulate or cope. They can try different tools and strategies, notice what works for them, and begin choosing those strategies independently. Your generosity has helped us create a counseling space where students can feel supported, understood, and equipped with tools they can carry with them beyond my office.\r\n\r\nThank you for investing in our students and helping make social-emotional learning something they can experience, practice, and use every day!","fullyFundedDate":1768682984637,"projectUrl":"project/help-support-our-school-counseling-soci/10013616/","projectTitle":"Help Support Our School Counseling, Social Work, and Intervention Offices!","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Hansen","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp2925748_orig.jpg?crop=624,624,x1139,y846&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1723135462770","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/2925748"},{"teacherId":2925748,"projectId":9546828,"letterContent":"Thank you so much for your generous support of our team.
