They use the area daily and for each hour of the day. It helps to have the extra area for students not only to \"reset,\" but to have an extra space to spread into and read quietly so we aren't so crowded and cramped. We will often congregate here for Fun Fridays or to use it as an open space for social work lessons. \r\n\r\nThe noise-canceling headphones have helped in many areas such as assemblies, field trips, and other areas where it can be too loud for our students. The take-apart modular couch has been one of the favorite things in the room as you can see from the photo! The bean bags, Big Joes, and other furniture have helped bring the room to life but overall it's all of the students being in the room using the Reset Room!\r\n\r\nThank you for helping us begin this dream by donating. We greatly appreciate your help and dedication to our classroom.","fullyFundedDate":1729813297055,"projectUrl":"project/reset-room-safe-space-manage-behavior-a/8840535/","projectTitle":"Reset Room: Safe Space Manage Behavior and Emotions","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Anderson's CI Class","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp5613344_orig.jpg?crop=2022,2022,x270,y301&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1634694297497","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/mathmatters22ndgraders"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_69732","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":1088,"numTeachers":61,"percentFrplEligible":19,"percentAsian":9,"percentBlack":6,"percentWhite":70,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":7,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"9 - 12","studentTeacherRatio":"17.8:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":false,"titleOne":false,"metroType":"SUBURBAN","ncesMetroType":"SUBURB_LARGE"},"inStateSupporters":78.9,"schoolId":69732,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Northern High School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Northern High School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/michigan/forest-hills-public-schools/northern-high-school/69732"}
