They love squeezing water in the droppers to create new colors and learn about color mixing. They also feel like real scientists with their new safety goggles. \r\n\r\nAgain, thank you for your generosity and kindness by providing funding for this project!","fullyFundedDate":1757510008395,"projectUrl":"project/stem-morning-activities/9695254/","projectTitle":"STEM Morning Activities","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Hansen","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/272x272/tp232240_272x272.jpg?width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1533231668303","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/tk2"},{"teacherId":10177888,"projectId":9696894,"letterContent":"Thank you so much for supporting my efforts to make my counseling room a welcoming, safe, and calming space for all students. I am happy to say that all materials that I was able to purchase for the room have been greatly appreciated and utilized by students coming in. Sometimes kids come in just to squeeze a fidget for a few minutes. Other times, an entire session with a student is structured around playing with the magnet tiles or wooden block game. These materials help foster an environment where I can provide play therapy and allow students various materials to use during counseling sessions which help with developing rapport, self-regulation, and inspiring conversation. The students are so grateful for all the materials and get excited each time they come in and discover a new addition to my room. They are just as appreciative as I am for all of the support I have received from you all to make my counseling room the kind of space that an elementary child is excited to go into, no matter what feeling they may be experiencing.","fullyFundedDate":1758133219220,"projectUrl":"project/elementary-counselor-in-need-of-supplies/9696894/","projectTitle":"Elementary Counselor in Need of Supplies to Stock Counseling Room!","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Lily","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-5_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/10177888"},{"teacherId":10177888,"projectId":9597297,"letterContent":"Thank you so much for helping support my care closet by keeping it stocked with snacks. In the past three months, have been able to distribute roughly 160 snacks to students. The care closet in my classroom has been accessed by students and families 177 times. I have received lots of positive feedback and gratitude from teachers, students, and families for providing resources for kids when they are in need. I never want my students to feel like they have to sit through the rest of the day feeling hungry, and funding this project has helped provide them the feeling of food security and full bellies to help them learn throughout the day. This project has also helped students from kindergarten through 5th grade understand the difference between a 'want' and a 'need' which can be a tricky concept for many to grasp.\r\nUnderstanding this difference helps children build more empathy for others once they are able to recognize why someone may need more resources. It also helps students build compassion for one another, as they notice when their classmates may be feeling hungry or didn't bring a snack to school one day and they can walk them to the care closet without any judgement, shame, or stigma attached. \r\nMy hope is that when students have what they need or know when to ask for what they need, they will be much more likely to thrive in school. My role as their counselor is not only to support them emotionally and socially, but to also support them with getting their basic needs met so they can be their best selves, each day. \r\n\r\nThank you for helping make this happen.","fullyFundedDate":1755382442864,"projectUrl":"project/brain-food-for-hungry-kids/9597297/","projectTitle":"Brain Food for Hungry Kids","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Lily","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-5_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/10177888"},{"teacherId":16027,"projectId":5592080,"letterContent":"Thank you so very much for your colored pencils, playdough, crayons, and paper.
