We have already put the breathing buddy, weighted animal, and little spot books to use! The breathing buddy has helped my students practice their breathing techniques when they are feeling angry or overwhelmed. The weighted stuffed animal has been especially great for soothing one of my students who has special needs. \r\n\r\nThe little spot books have helped me teach students different feelings and emotions as well as how to help manage their big emotions. They now sit on our classroom reading bench that's right next to our calming corner, so that they can utilize them as they need them.","fullyFundedDate":1754703749541,"projectUrl":"project/mindfulness-bin-essentials/9426652/","projectTitle":"Mindfulness Bin Essentials","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Da Rosa","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp5992144_orig.jpg?crop=564,564,x0,y9&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1647114791713","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/msortiz18"},{"teacherId":10045871,"projectId":9384771,"letterContent":"Thank you so much for your generous support of our classroom! We are already putting both the vacuum and color printer to daily use. The vacuum has been a game-changer, keeping our learning space clean and welcoming for my young students who spend so much time working and playing on the floor. Having the ability to quickly tidy up means our classroom feels fresh, safe, and cared for every single day.\r\n\r\nThe color printer has been equally transformative. Instead of staying up late at home printing materials, I now have access to on-demand, high-quality color printing right in our classroom. This has opened the door for vibrant projects that make student learning come alive. Our very first major project with the printer was a family collage display, where parents sent in family photos for their children to showcase. The joy and pride on my students' faces as they saw their family photos in bright color was unforgettable.
