The Cell Models were incredible, and they immediately wanted to create their own using the Model Magic clay we received. We also used the Earth Layers Model to make layered representations of the planet, and the students loved crafting them with the Model Magic. That was definitely a class favorite!\r\n\r\nThe books were very well received, and the students especially enjoyed revisiting the Ninja series, which explores important social-emotional topics like anger and kindness. The fidgets and playdough were wonderful additions to our classroom's calming corner. Students could visit the space to read the new books, use the finger tracing boards, or watch the glitter wands. These resources made a meaningful difference in supporting emotional regulation in our classroom.\r\n\r\nWe are so grateful for these materials—they've truly enriched our learning environment.","fullyFundedDate":1707093458326,"projectUrl":"project/help-my-students-be-social-emotional-sel/8190072/","projectTitle":"Help My Students Be Social-Emotional Self-Control Ninjas!","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Misty Shay","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp4724927_orig.jpg?crop=2503,2503,x0,y175&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1564527191227","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/mrs-shayrivera"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_106519","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":346,"numTeachers":16,"percentFrplEligible":95,"percentAsian":4,"percentBlack":11,"percentWhite":16,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":62,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"Pre-K - 6","studentTeacherRatio":"21.6:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"URBAN","ncesMetroType":"CITY_MIDSIZE"},"inStateSupporters":63.0,"schoolId":106519,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Montessori Magnet Batchelder on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Montessori Magnet Batchelder","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/connecticut/hartford-public-school-district/montessori-magnet-at-moylan/106519"}
