Your support has made a meaningful difference in how we teach emotion regulation and social skills in our small-group setting. For example, we use the materials as hands-on tools during lessons and also as incentives for students to earn through positive behaviors, tracked by our classroom point system. This approach has really helped motivate and engage the students in their learning!\r\nWhen the students first saw the materials, they were so excited! They love earning time with the Legos and receiving the special snacks as rewards. The visuals you provided bring life to our classroom. The relaxation and sensory toys are a big hit —they are used both in our Reset space for calming moments and at desks to help with focus. These tools have truly enhanced their ability to self-regulate and stay engaged.\r\nLooking ahead, we plan to continue using these wonderful materials in the next school year with a new group of students. They will be an important part of helping our incoming students navigate the emotional, social, and academic challenges of middle school. We are grateful for everything you provided to us and look forward to more successes as our students grow.","fullyFundedDate":1742327144420,"projectUrl":"project/a-therapeutic-classroom-where-students-c/9136438/","projectTitle":"A Therapeutic Classroom Where Students Can Be Their Best Selves!","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Ososki","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp9933519_orig.jpg?crop=1024,1024,x0,y0&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1740802571898","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/ososki"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_43750","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":535,"numTeachers":52,"percentFrplEligible":43,"percentAsian":2,"percentBlack":5,"percentWhite":63,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":24,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"6 - 8","studentTeacherRatio":"10.3:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":false,"titleOne":false,"metroType":"SUBURBAN","ncesMetroType":"SUBURB_LARGE"},"inStateSupporters":90.5,"schoolId":43750,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Middle School of Plainville on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Middle School of Plainville","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/connecticut/plainville-community-school-district/middle-school-of-plainville/43750"}
