I want to take a moment to express my heartfelt gratitude for your generous contributions to our calming fidgets and timers project in our special education classroom. Your support has made a significant impact on our students, and I'm thrilled to share how we are using these new resources and the positive effects they are having.\r\n\r\nSince receiving the fidgets and timers, my students have been actively engaging with these tools during our daily routines. One specific instance that stands out is during a recent science project on plants. We divided the students into small groups, and each group used timers to manage their hands-on activities, like planting seeds and observing growth. The fidgets helped some of my students stay focused and calm while waiting for their turn to share their findings. It was heartwarming to see their excitement as they interacted with the new materials; they were eager to try out different fidgets and find what worked best for them.\r\n\r\nWhen my students first saw the calming resources, their reactions were priceless. Many of them giggled with delight as they explored the textures and colors of the fidgets. Others expressed joy and relief, as they instantly recognized that these tools would help them manage their emotions and maintain focus. The positive energy in the classroom increased dramatically, and it has fostered a greater sense of community among them.\r\n\r\nLooking ahead, we are currently embarking on a project about emotional awareness and self-regulation. The next steps involve integrating our calming tools into this lesson. For instance, students will use the timers to practice mindfulness exercises, allowing them to pause and regulate their feelings throughout the day. This project will empower them to reflect on their emotional states and use the fidgets when they need a moment of calm or focus. Your donations have made this possible, and I can't thank you enough for believing in our students and their potential.\r\n\r\nWe look forward to sharing more about our progress and experiences. Your contributions have truly transformed our classroom and enriched our school day!","fullyFundedDate":1746637526765,"projectUrl":"project/calm-focus-learn-tools-for-thriving/9317226/","projectTitle":"\"Calm, Focus, Learn: Tools for Thriving in Sped\"","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Glorioso","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/272x272/tp5488440_272x272.jpg?width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1530018426499","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/ms-glorioso"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_64077","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":305,"numTeachers":23,"percentFrplEligible":90,"percentAsian":3,"percentBlack":19,"percentWhite":29,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":40,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"Pre-K - 5","studentTeacherRatio":"13.3:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"URBAN","ncesMetroType":"SUBURB_LARGE"},"inStateSupporters":64.6,"schoolId":64077,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Belle Grove Elementary School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Belle Grove Elementary School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/maryland/anne-arundel-county-public-schools/belle-grove-elementary-school/64077"}
