They eagerly awaited me opening each item and couldn't wait to use the materials. In our classroom we focus a lot on social-emotional skills, and especially identifying feelings and emotions. These skills are much easier for my students, especially the ones with autism, when they have motivating, cute, and hands-on materials that they can refer to and access. \r\n\r\nWe watch a lot of videos, especially on the topic of feelings and emotions. My students love the Little Spot of Feelings songs and characters, and the Ninja Life Hacks plushies and books are a perfect addition to our classroom resources. Now the Spots and Ninjas line our window sills and the students refer to them and the posters when trying to express themselves. \r\n\r\nOne of my students enjoys identifying each Spot or Ninja when we watch the videos and the songs. He can even imitate specific facial expressions that correlated. These types of social skills are beneficial to my Special Education students as they get older and need to relate to more people in their lives. \r\n\r\nThe emotions sensory bottles are very calming for my students, as is the magnetic sand. These items are used almost daily by my students during their earened break times. \r\n\r\nThank you again for your kindness and thoughtful donations in helping fund this project fo rmy classroom. The items are appreciated and well used in our classroom on a daily basis. You have brightened our room and my students' lives for the better!","fullyFundedDate":1744391709573,"projectUrl":"project/sensational-socio-emotional-classroom/9098996/","projectTitle":"Sensational Socio-Emotional Classroom","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Collins","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp1422563_orig.jpg?crop=480,480,x98,y0&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1704759063976","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/1422563"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_26748","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":431,"numTeachers":23,"percentFrplEligible":63,"percentAsian":5,"percentBlack":2,"percentWhite":41,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":42,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"Pre-K - 5","studentTeacherRatio":"18.7:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"URBAN","ncesMetroType":"CITY_MIDSIZE"},"inStateSupporters":79.7,"schoolId":26748,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about George Washington Elementary School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"George Washington Elementary School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/california/burbank-unified-school-district/george-washington-elementary-school/26748"}
