I am a new school counselor, and these books will touch many students lives. Using books in my guidance lessons, group lessons, and individual lessons allows students to make connections with their feelings and that they are not alone.\r\n I recently had a student who lost a father to suicide, and I noticed that I was lacking in books about grief and how to work through the grief process and understand their feelings. These books allowed me to share stories that helped the student open up about how he was feeling. \r\n That is just one student, but I have used all the books, during small group lessons and or just talking to students about anger and how to cope with it. Having these books has allowed me to be a better counselor and the students love them.","fullyFundedDate":1762267563164,"projectUrl":"project/coping-through-stories/9568531/","projectTitle":"Coping Through Stories","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Records","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-6_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/54611"},{"teacherId":198474,"projectId":9380775,"letterContent":"Thank you so much for funding my project, Key(boards) to Success! Thanks to your generosity, kids will get to advance their musical knowledge and make personal connections to music by being able to perform their favorite music on the piano.\r\n\r\nThe students were shocked to hear that a company funded the entire project! They were so excited to see all of the keyboards and had so much fun trying the keys and different sounds from all the buttons. They are looking forward to spending many music classes learning how to play them with correct technique, putting their rhythm and note reading knowledge to use, and getting a chance to play music that they love.\r\n\r\nThe next steps for the kids are to start teaching them the 5-finger hand position and to learn beginning songs like \"Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star\" and \"Are You Sleeping?\" Once they can play simple songs like this, we start looking into how to play popular songs and music that the kids will recognize and music from video games and movies.\r\n\r\nThe kids can't wait to spend more time working with the keyboards and connecting with music they love.

The rolling cart has been a HUGE help for storing Chromebooks and headphones as well as moving between classrooms. Having the 6 shelves gives students less Chromebooks to search through and the cart pushes so easily. Headphones are stored on the side with hooks. I am able to label the shelves with magnetic numbers which is helpful as well. \r\n\r\nThe rest of the funding went to supplies to help stations work. These little hooks hold images for phonics practice. Lamination sheets help keep station work from getting ripped up.
