I am better able to not only love myself and show up more authentically and more wholly for my students and my family, I am also able to share my knowledge and tools with my students so they may utilize the information and strategies in all aspects of their lives, should they choose. \r\n I am learning how to build a safer environment in my classroom in which all of my students can feel a sense of belonging, valued, heard, and appreciated and celebrated for their unique perspectives and cultural backgrounds. I thought I had a pretty inclusive and equitable classroom before starting my Master degree program, and as I learn and implement more of what I learn, I am now certain I am doing my best for myself and my students all the time. \r\n When students have the opportunity to learn in an inclusive and equitable environment in which they feel safe to be authentic and have a sense of belonging and individuality, they thrive academically and socially- this is why I teach- to help my students thrive.\r\nThank you once again for your support, it is helping me to ensure that my teaching is the best I can give.","fullyFundedDate":1764682575479,"projectUrl":"project/sowing-seeds-of-social-emotional-well-be/9452611/","projectTitle":"Sowing Seeds of Social-emotional Well-being","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Kaela Kidd","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-9_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/kaeladkidd"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_76964","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":104,"numTeachers":7,"percentFrplEligible":65,"percentAsian":0,"percentBlack":2,"percentWhite":95,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":2,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"Pre-K - 12","studentTeacherRatio":"14.9:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"RURAL","ncesMetroType":"RURAL_REMOTE"},"inStateSupporters":75.0,"schoolId":76964,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Cainsville R1 School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Cainsville R1 School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/missouri/cainsville-school-district-r1/cainsville-school/76964"}
