Students have especially enjoyed working in their journals, which they were able to keep and personalize. Each session, they added new reflections, artwork, and thoughts about how they were feeling, making the journals an important tool for self-expression, self-awareness, and healing through art.","fullyFundedDate":1757549986016,"projectUrl":"project/stronger-minds-through-play-and-creativi/9689833/","projectTitle":"Stronger Minds Through Play and Creativity","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Parada","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-10_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/10244559"},{"teacherId":10113900,"projectId":9542631,"letterContent":"Thank you so much for your support! These wonderful resources have already made a big difference for our students. They use the tools during check-ins, counseling sessions, and moments of high anxiety to manage stress, stay focused, and practice healthy coping skills. \r\n\r\nMany students stop by the counseling office just to grab a sticker, stress ball, or fidget toy to brighten their day. We've also used these items to support students during panic attacks or after conflicts, giving them a safe outlet to calm down. We even included calming strips, mini pop fidgets, and mental health stickers in our Halloween grams, which students loved.\r\n\r\nWe plan to continue using these resources every day and throughout our counseling activities. The sensory tools and stickers help students build emotional regulation, self-awareness, and positive thinking. The affirmation cards have been a hit, especially with some of our small groups.
