Every child is so excited to read the new books and play the new reading games. I used one of the reading games in my weekly tutoring session this week. My multilingual learners were enjoying the reading game very much. So many children are reading the new fun books and the new decodable books. It was such a joy to see a child struggling to read finish a book and feel so proud of themselves. This sense of accomplishment and confidence will carry on to new and more difficult books as I teach more reading lessons. Thank you so very much for your support this year.

Additionally, we do not currently have a visual art program at my school, so that is up to me.

This new space has already become a meaningful and well-loved part of our classroom.\r\n\r\nMy students use the calming corner every day. I encourage them to recognize when they are beginning to feel overwhelmed or dysregulated, communicate when they need a break, and use the sensory materials and calming space until they feel ready to return to the group. The space also gives students a comfortable place to relax and recharge during breaks. These are valuable skills that help students learn how to listen to their bodies, advocate for their needs, and return to learning when they feel ready.\r\n\r\nThe reaction from students and adults has been wonderful! Everyone who enters the room is excited to see the new space. Students especially love exploring the fidget toys and relaxing on the bean bags. It has created a welcoming area where students can take a moment to breathe, reset, and feel comfortable.\r\n\r\nMoving forward, I hope to continue developing this space as an environment that supports both learning and well-being. My goal is to help students develop meaningful strategies for regulating their bodies and emotions so they can feel safe, supported, and ready to learn. Your generosity has helped make that possible, and I am incredibly thankful for the positive impact this project is having on our students each day.\r\n\r\nThank you for investing in our students and helping create a classroom where they can learn, grow, and feel supported!","fullyFundedDate":1787234448790,"projectUrl":"project/calming-corner/10521251/","projectTitle":"Calming Corner","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Martinez","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-7_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/10607512"},{"teacherId":9130868,"projectId":9350448,"letterContent":"Thank you so much for your generous donation to our classroom.
