I have a few students who really need a space where they can refocus or unwind, and these pillows have been a TREMENDOUS help with those moments. For example, when I have a student who is started to show signs of a panic attack or emotional breakdown, I send them to the pillows and they almost immediately calm down because they can cozy up and take deep breaths. I notice a huge improvement from before, where students would just go stand or sit in a chair in the corner. The pillows are a really lovely asset for these moments specifically.\r\n\r\nMy students were SO excited when they first saw these pillows in the room! Immediately they started fighting over who gets to sit on which color. This was great, because now I can use the pillows as incentive for effort or behavior. Students in my high school contemporary band class especially love these pillows, because they can sit on one during independent practice time and feel more comfortable and at ease. I included pictures of some of them sitting on these pillows while they practice. They love them!","fullyFundedDate":1760693594862,"projectUrl":"project/cozycalm-corner-for-music-class/9726095/","projectTitle":"Cozy/Calm Corner for Music Class!","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Poston","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp9990171_orig.jpg?crop=180,180,x0,y0&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1743631593550","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/monicaposton"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_106811","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":608,"numTeachers":55,"percentFrplEligible":95,"percentAsian":9,"percentBlack":30,"percentWhite":28,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":24,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"6 - 12","studentTeacherRatio":"11.1:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":false,"metroType":"SUBURBAN","ncesMetroType":"SUBURB_LARGE"},"inStateSupporters":61.8,"schoolId":106811,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Engineering & Science Magnet School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Engineering & Science Magnet School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/connecticut/new-haven-public-schools/engineering-and-science-university-magnet-school/106811"}
