The snacks have really made a difference students are starting to recognize when they need a quick reset and are using them to help stay focused and calm. During our social skills time, the games have been a fun way to practice things like taking turns, communicating, and working through small challenges together. One of my favorite moments was seeing a group of students have a disagreement during a game and actually pause, talk it out, and solve it on their own using the strategies we've been working on it was such a proud moment.\r\n\r\nWhen the students first saw everything, they were about as excited as middle schoolers can be. The games have helped build stronger connections between students. Next, we're going to keep building on these skills by adding in more role-playing and group challenges with the games. Students will also start setting small social goals for themselves and reflecting on how they're doing, which will help them keep growing in a really meaningful way.","fullyFundedDate":1767209071556,"projectUrl":"project/refuel-regulate-snacks-and-sel-games/9697781/","projectTitle":"Refuel & Regulate: Snacks and SEL Games for Students","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Madden","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-1_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9373240"},{"teacherId":90059,"projectId":9876493,"letterContent":"Big Thank you!! This project has helped create a warm and comfortable classroom for students when they meet in their book clubs at our classroom cafe on Fridays!

Our classroom has turned into a comfortable place of learning, book clubs formed and students finished their books and they enjoyed every moment thanks to you. \r\nIn current classroom culture, students infrequently get a chance to pick and read an entire chapter book. The curriculum is full of \"excerpts\" but nothing compares to reading full novels like my students were able to do with your support . Not only, did they read and meet weekly to discuss but they are now immersed in project based learning where they'll present all they've learned through book clubs. \r\nThe furniture provided is used daily and students feel like they're special and are comfortable in their learning environment. They sit side by side or on the floor with lush cushions . They use the small coffee tables to collaborate and meet and discuss with joy their books. None of this could have been possible without your generosity. I'm grateful! My students will hold these special memories as they move forward into middle school. They will see reading and literacy as a lifelong joy. They will go forward as adults, being interested in forming book clubs with their own friends.","fullyFundedDate":1760766034713,"projectUrl":"project/kids-book-clubs-meet-me-at-caf-marose/9790801/","projectTitle":"Kids Book Clubs!
