The new resources—self-regulation tools, take-home folders, fidgets and name tags—have already made a meaningful difference in our daily classroom routines. One specific moment that stands out was during our morning meeting when students were introduced to the self-regulation items. We created a \"calm corner\" using the tools, and students were taught how to use them when they felt overwhelmed or needed a break. One student, who previously struggled with transitions, now independently uses a sensory item from the corner to self-soothe and return to learning more focused and calm. The take-home folders have also streamlined our communication with families, helping students take more responsibility for their work and stay organized.\r\n\r\nWhen students first saw the materials, their reactions were full of excitement and curiosity. They loved choosing and personalizing their name tags, which gave them a sense of belonging and pride in their classroom space. The self-regulation tools were especially well received—many students immediately began exploring how each item could help them manage their feelings. Going forward, we're working on a social-emotional learning unit where students will reflect on their emotions, recognize their triggers, and choose strategies (including those from the new materials) to support themselves. Your support has given them not only tools but confidence in navigating their day with greater independence and structure.","fullyFundedDate":1750773713653,"projectUrl":"project/communicate-and-celebrate/9385294/","projectTitle":"Communicate and Celebrate!","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Fields","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp6462185_orig.jpg?crop=278,278,x0,y1&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1560304966497","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/6462185"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_48104","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":870,"numTeachers":73,"percentFrplEligible":63,"percentAsian":2,"percentBlack":37,"percentWhite":23,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":30,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"Pre-K - 5","studentTeacherRatio":"11.9:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"SUBURBAN","ncesMetroType":"SUBURB_LARGE"},"inStateSupporters":69.6,"schoolId":48104,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Smyrna Elementary School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Smyrna Elementary School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/georgia/cobb-county-school-district/brown-elementary-school/48104"}
