The dry erase tabletop has been a huge hit—students are so excited to write directly on the table and they are learning to be responsible with the tools so it stays nice for everyone. I love being able to jot quick notes or prompts for individual kids while we all sit and work together or even collect data right on the table. Kids are striving to improve their scores - it's surprisingly motivating! \r\n\r\nThe calm strips have been a quiet but powerful tool, giving students a simple way to manage their energy and stay focused. Usually our fidgets become distracting toys - these are perfect! The playdoh and emotions board have already been a big help for several students learning to recognize and regulate big feelings. There's something about manipulating playdoh that lets them feel their emotions while staying in control and creating little action scenes lets us play it out in real time. These are power tools! \r\n\r\nThese resources have made my space a more supportive, engaging, and responsive place for all that we do in speech. Thank you so much.","fullyFundedDate":1744821609903,"projectUrl":"project/tools-for-our-emotional-toolbox/9111261/","projectTitle":"Tools For Our Emotional Toolbox!","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Kara","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp9922626_orig.png?crop=1083,1083,x57,y49&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1739398586497","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9922626"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_4898","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":349,"numTeachers":24,"percentFrplEligible":11,"percentAsian":39,"percentBlack":2,"percentWhite":22,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":20,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"Pre-K - 5","studentTeacherRatio":"14.5:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":false,"titleOne":false,"metroType":"SUBURBAN","ncesMetroType":"CITY_SMALL"},"inStateSupporters":95.0,"schoolId":4898,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Duveneck Elementary School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Duveneck Elementary School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/california/palo-alto-unified-school-district/duveneck-elementary-school/4898"}
