What I love most about my students is their openness to learning, even when life gets tough. Each child brings their own unique experiences, challenges, and emotions into the classroom. I admire their creativity, curiosity, and how they support one another when someone is feeling down. Watching them grow not only academically but emotionally makes every day meaningful. They remind me how important it is to provide a safe, nurturing environment where every student feels seen, heard, and valued. Your support has helped me create exactly that type of space for them.\r\n\r\nTo support my students' emotional well-being, I use tools like Legos, Uno, and stickers to help them decompress during tough moments. Thanks to your contribution, I have been able to refresh and expand these resources so that more of my students can benefit from them. These materials may look simple on the surface, but they have a powerful impact on how students regulate emotions, connect with others, and re-engage in learning.\r\n\r\nYour donation has helped make all of this possible. These tools give students the chance to reset, express themselves, and regain a sense of calm so that they can return to their academics with clearer minds and stronger spirits. Beyond academics, they are learning lifelong skills: how to manage stress, how to express emotions in healthy ways, and how to build meaningful connections with others. These lessons will serve them long after they leave my classroom.\r\n\r\nThank you for believing in my students and in the importance of creating an environment where they can flourish. Your support has made a real difference, and I am honored to share the impact of your gift with you.","fullyFundedDate":1755828190815,"projectUrl":"project/building-emotional-support-one-brick-an/9413209/","projectTitle":"Building Emotional Support One Brick (and Game) at a Time","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Soares","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp2500476_orig.png?crop=398,398,x0,y0&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1756507494852","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/y-soares"},{"teacherId":9505219,"projectId":8457444,"letterContent":"I am writing to express my heartfelt thanks for your generous donation to our project for student birthday gifts.
