The materials, books, and activities you funded have made a meaningful difference for our students' social-emotional and behavioral development. These resources have allowed students to practice skills such as recognizing emotions, communicating needs, calming their bodies, and solving problems with peers. The hands-on activities have helped students stay engaged while learning coping strategies, and the high-interest books have given them relatable examples of perseverance, kindness, and emotional awareness.\r\n\r\nStudents now have access to tools that help them regulate when they feel overwhelmed, and many are independently choosing strategies that fit their needs. I have seen quieter students begin to express their needs more clearly, and students who previously struggled with frustration now use breathing tools, movement options, and problem-solving prompts to stay in class and stay connected to learning. These supports have contributed to calmer transitions, improved peer interactions, and more confidence during difficult tasks.\r\n\r\nYour generosity has truly created a safer, more supportive learning environment where students can grow academically and emotionally. We are so grateful for the positive impact you've had on our school community.","fullyFundedDate":1757197009069,"projectUrl":"project/little-dolphins-big-voices-helping-kid/9680996/","projectTitle":"Little Dolphins, Big Voices: Helping Kids Be Heard and Seen","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Bri","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp10241176_orig.jpg?crop=885,885,x2099,y1370&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1756983160669","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/10241176"},{"teacherId":8696015,"projectId":9509976,"letterContent":"My new class of third graders have been LOVING Charlie and the Chocolate Factory and they are so super excited to read The Wild Robot!
