EVERY DAY, students ask to use them without fail. The Nee Doh cubes and gum drops as well as the weighted stuffed animals are among their favorites. Some students choose to use them daily while others use them during group meetings and presentations.\r\n\r\nArt therapy is another amazing tool that we use at CI Bridge Academy to help students connect with their emotions and also to support their emotional regulation. The donations have allowed us to offer art therapy on a weekly basis and our students thrive in this area when using the materials that have been donate. Some of the students' favorite art therapy projects have been: \r\n\r\n1. Masks: Using acrylic paint markers on a mask with the exterior representing the you you let others see and the interior representing the things you hide from others but truly feel.\r\n\r\n2. Abstract Emotions Art: Students divide a paper into four sections and use symbols and abstract art to represent feelings of guilt, calm, fear, and joy in each of the quadrants. Paint and oil pastels are the preferred mediums for this project.\r\n\r\n3. Modeling Clay: Students often use modeling clay to represent an emotion or something that might represents their identities.","fullyFundedDate":1728616970370,"projectUrl":"project/art-therapy-and-sensory-support-for-stud/8866249/","projectTitle":"Art Therapy and Sensory Support for Students with Anxiety","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Michelle","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-3_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/1771705"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_131590","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":60,"numTeachers":null,"percentFrplEligible":39,"percentAsian":3,"percentBlack":11,"percentWhite":77,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":5,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"US Census Data for the surrounding geographic area","gradesServed":"Not specified","studentTeacherRatio":null,"demographicsDataSource":"Census ZCTA","equityFocus":false,"titleOne":false,"metroType":"SUBURBAN","ncesMetroType":"SUBURB_MIDSIZE"},"inStateSupporters":100.0,"schoolId":131590,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Central Illinois Bridge Academy on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Central Illinois Bridge Academy","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/illinois/-county-run-/central-illinois-bridge-academy/131590"}
