As I keep on navigating my first year as a school social worker, utilizing these resources with my students has been helping. Whether it's helping them roleplay different social scenarios, understanding how our actions can have consequences, learn how to regulate big emotions in a positive manner, these items result in them having fun while learning something new. Students enjoy taking a break from classroom instruction. While their session time helps grant them that break, I notice their cooperativeness and enjoyment when using these resources in our activities/games in a therapeutic manner. \r\n\r\nAdditionally, I notice some students taking the initiative in choosing what activity they'd like to focus on in their session. At the start of the school year, considering I am new in building my social work toolbox, I felt limited in the activities I had available for my students. However, after my social work manager introduced DonorsChoose to my collegues and I in a training, I went on to create my project which was a new experience for me. I have never necessarily created a wishlist like this, but this experience further helped me once again see firsthand how crucial having a supportive community is. Thank you once again for supporting me fund this. I am learning as I go, but I shall keep exploring what other resources will be beneficial to meet the needs of my students in our session time.","fullyFundedDate":1726624331930,"projectUrl":"project/safe-spaces-bright-futures/8776994/","projectTitle":"Safe Spaces, Bright Futures","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Villa","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp9747465_orig.png?crop=1390,1390,x111,y143&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1726366654419","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9747465"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_5687","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":529,"numTeachers":43,"percentFrplEligible":95,"percentAsian":0,"percentBlack":1,"percentWhite":2,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":94,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"Pre-K - 8","studentTeacherRatio":"12.3:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"URBAN","ncesMetroType":"CITY_LARGE"},"inStateSupporters":77.3,"schoolId":5687,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Nathan S Davis Elementary School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Nathan S Davis Elementary School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/illinois/chicago-public-school-district-299/nathan-s-davis-elementary-school/5687"}
