As a school psychologist working with students from kindergarten through eighth grade, I see every day how big emotions can make learning difficult. Thanks to your support, my students now have a welcoming, calming space filled with meaningful tools to help them feel safe, understood, and ready to learn.\r\n\r\nThe new social-emotional learning books, fidget tools, flexible seating, and art supplies are already making a difference — students are using them to express emotions, manage stress, and re-engage in learning. Even the cleaning supplies are helping us keep our space fresh and inviting for everyone who visits.\r\n\r\nYour kindness has helped transform my office into more than just a room — it's now a refuge where students can breathe, reflect, and build the emotional skills they need to grow both in and out of the classroom.\r\n\r\nFrom the bottom of my heart, thank you for believing in this project and in my students. Your gift is helping them take each confident step forward — one calm breath and one kind conversation at a time.","fullyFundedDate":1756308690391,"projectUrl":"project/a-safe-space-for-growing-minds-and-kind/9468816/","projectTitle":"A Safe Space for Growing Minds and Kind Hearts","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Barba","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp3078791_orig.jpg?crop=1:1,smart&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1754936758870","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/michelebarba"},{"teacherId":6813645,"projectId":8896272,"letterContent":"Thank you so much!!

This is how I know this little reading area is a positive effect within this special education classroom. My classroom houses children who have reading deficits as well as math.
