The items that you provided for my students have made our room so nice and have made learning so much easier and fun! \r\n\r\nThe biggest impact that I've seen comes from the regulation tools and toys. Teamwork has definitely grown in our room. My students are willing to work through problem solving and sharing in order to build cool Lego creations. They are working on impulse control with the Play-do by learning to share the tools and learning how to play without mixing colors. The therapy putty is one of the most popular things. It's been a key component in helping my students understand how much stress they carry in their bodies and how to release it.","fullyFundedDate":1726696209619,"projectUrl":"project/tools-to-teach-young-minds/8787449/","projectTitle":"Tools to Teach Young Minds!","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Joubert","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/272x272/tp2850542_272x272.jpg?width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1457022009382","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/rainejoubert"},{"teacherId":4787440,"projectId":8250858,"letterContent":"I hope this letter finds you well!
