Several teachers, including our art teacher were impressed with not only my students flowers, but were jealous that I had such nice materials to let the students explore. \r\n\r\nI can't wait to see what other projects we will get to create this school year with your generous help!","fullyFundedDate":1753909815282,"projectUrl":"project/fueling-the-creative-spark-adding-color/9266455/","projectTitle":"Fueling the Creative Spark, Adding Color to our World!","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Frederick","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp7847428_orig.jpg?crop=960,960,x0,y35&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1620173964274","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/7847428"},{"teacherId":6150214,"projectId":9044488,"letterContent":"Thanks to your generous support, I was able to complete the Breathe For Change program.

A highlight was gaining skills to adapt yoga poses and breathing techniques for learners with diverse needs. I now feel confident incorporating tools like \"Buddha Breathing\" and chair yoga into my classroom. During summer school, I introduced these practices to my students with severe disabilities and immediately saw increased calm, engagement, and joy. This training has elevated my teaching and helped me create more inclusive, healing spaces.
