As we discussed each one, \r\nThe books were amazing as they brought clarity and understanding to what it is was they were (are) feeling.\r\nThe manipulatives were great as well. They particularly liked and were drawn to the Nesting Fruit of the different emotions, the dough mats - where they enjoyed showing me their emotions through play-do play, \r\n\r\nEveryone thinks \"Oh you teach preschool - what can you possibly do with them all day?\" - What many fail to realize is we are their first teachers after their parents. We help mold and shape them into empathetic, self-aware and confident, honest people. My goal is to make them as communicative and aware of who they are and what they are feeling in hopes that this will carry with them in all their schooling years. This cannot possibly happen unless they fully understand what it is they are feeling and giving them the tools to help them know they can feel all the feelies, but that there are also ways to help cope! Thank you for enabling me to show them this through hands-on materials along with amazing and relatable story books that help them understand even more. \r\nPreschoolers are by far vastly under-rated. They have gifts that came make adults step back and take a lesson from. \r\nPlease note - our school has strict policies of sharing photos of our students. I so wish I could show you their faces and their emotions that they have down pat of showing! Hopefully, these photos will help you see how these materials have been utilized!","fullyFundedDate":1756398151991,"projectUrl":"project/understanding-emotions-for-preschool/9329109/","projectTitle":"Understanding Emotions for Preschool","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Patty","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-8_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/8664414"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_81396","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":113,"numTeachers":18,"percentFrplEligible":35,"percentAsian":0,"percentBlack":5,"percentWhite":76,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":11,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","percentHawaiianImputed":0,"percentMultiracialImputed":6,"gradesServed":"Pre-K - 5","studentTeacherRatio":"6.3:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":false,"metroType":"RURAL","ncesMetroType":"RURAL_DISTANT"},"inStateSupporters":82.6,"schoolId":81396,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Hampton Elementary School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Hampton Elementary School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/new-jersey/hampton-borough-school-district/hampton-elementary-school/81396"}
