I had eleven students who took part in groups from 1x-3x/week who had an enriched experience with this resource. \r\n\r\nOne of the most impactful projects we did was using the beads and cord to make memory bracelets to honor loved ones of students who have passed away recently. When I asked my group what their most meaningful activity was, every single group member said making those bracelets was their top. \r\n\r\nA fourth-grade social emotional learning group also used a lot of the materials to make scrapbooks about themselves and their year at school including topics like: friends, things I'm good at and field day. It was a really positive experience that helped them feel good about themselves and what they've accomplished this year at school.","fullyFundedDate":1772551019283,"projectUrl":"project/creative-connections-elementary-sel-fo/10112677/","projectTitle":"Creative Connections - Elementary SEL for students in Minneapolis","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Olsen","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-4_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/10439346"},{"teacherId":1925322,"projectId":10189082,"letterContent":"Thank you so much for helping to fund this project .

In a time of high stress for our school and community, your generosity reminded me that there are always people out there willing to offer the help you need if you have the strength to ask for it. \r\n\r\nThe Jonti-Craft book organizers from this project are highly coveted among elementary school teachers and librarians for the way they make books visible and easily accessible to young students for independent browsing. When even the youngest children are empowered to look for their own books and make their own reading choices, they are more motivated to read. \r\n\r\nWe already had two of these units that we use to highlight picture books in the categories that students request most often (superheroes, mythical creatures, funny books, spooky books, etc.), and we have placed these new shelves on the other side of the library to highlight nonfiction books that have not gotten the attention they deserve hidden in the stacks with only their spines on display. As library class visits wind down after next week, I will have time to decide on what categories will make the most sense, design signage, and get books moved in so that they are ready to browse when students arrive for a new school year. Thank you for making this possible for us.","fullyFundedDate":1770132964192,"projectUrl":"project/kid-friendly-school-library-shelving-mak/10077001/","projectTitle":"Kid-Friendly School Library Shelving Makes Independent Readers!","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Cassidy","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp8696520_orig.jpg?crop=1968,1968,x231,y386&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1769978669144","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/8696520"},{"teacherId":9972221,"projectId":9189787,"letterContent":"The children loved the ease with which they are able to clean up the blocks and it has greatly increased the amount of time spent playing with the big bocks this year.
