The activities gave everyone something to do together, which made it easy for students to talk, play, create, and share with our older community members.\r\n\r\nOne of my favorite parts was using the instant camera to capture these moments. Students were so excited to take pictures together and then turn them into keepsakes. They also enjoyed playing games, making crafts, and working on activities side by side with their grandfriends.\r\n\r\nMore than anything, this project helped my students see that spending time with and getting to know people from another generation is something special. They practiced kindness, patience, communication, and being a good friend while creating memories together. I am so grateful that this project gave us the materials to make these connections possible.","fullyFundedDate":1770324235685,"projectUrl":"project/moments-that-matter-connecting-generati/10075602/","projectTitle":"Moments That Matter: Connecting Generations","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Morel","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp6406459_orig.jpg?crop=878,878,x0,y0&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1561904524606","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/cmorel"},{"teacherId":6406459,"projectId":10042823,"letterContent":"Having the opportunity to hatch chicks in our classroom was such a special experience for my first graders. They were excited from the moment the eggs arrived and loved checking on them, watching for changes, and learning about what was happening inside the eggs. When the chicks finally hatched, the excitement in the classroom was incredible!\r\n\r\nThe incubator, hatching eggs, and feed gave my students the chance to experience the life cycle of a chick firsthand instead of just reading about it in a book. They made observations, asked questions, learned how to care for living things, and saw their science learning happening right in front of them.

Our class had so much fun pretending to be pirates; decorating our treasure boxes and picking a treasure to keep inside. Our students were also so surprised to walk into school and see our classroom transformed into a Glow In The Dark space. They loved wearing our glowing items and we played games throughout the day. It quickly became one of the favorite days of the school year. \r\n\r\nThe best surprise for our students was the goody bags we were able to hand out at our end of the year celebration. They were so grateful for the items in their bags, and it was the perfect way to end a great school year. All of this was possible because of you, our donors.

When they participate I tell them to kiss their brain which means they get to go to the Hershey kiss jar. This encourages many students to participate in whole group discussions. The tracing center and gel pad have been a great independent activity students can do with success. Writing letters, drawing shapes and writing numbers in a different way than on paper.

We are using the yoga mats and Northern Lights lamp to help students practice mindful movement, breathing exercises, and calming strategies when they need time to pause and reset.\r\n\r\nWhen students first saw the new materials, they were immediately excited and curious. They especially loved the colorful glow of the Northern Lights lamp and were eager to try the yoga mats. It was wonderful to see how quickly the space helped them slow down and feel more comfortable. One meaningful moment occurred when a student used a yoga mat to practice stretching and deep breathing. After taking a few quiet minutes to regulate, the student was able to return to class feeling calmer, more confident, and ready to learn.\r\n\r\nOur next steps are to continue explicitly teaching students a variety of calming strategies, including mindful breathing, gentle stretching, identifying emotions, and choosing tools that meet their individual needs. Students will practice recognizing when their bodies and minds need a break and how to use the space safely and independently. We will also work on helping them carry these strategies into their classrooms and throughout the school day.\r\n\r\nEvery student is different, and these resources are helping each child discover what works best for them. Your generosity has given our students more than calming materials—you have provided them with a supportive space where they can express themselves, build confidence, and develop lifelong emotional-regulation skills.","fullyFundedDate":1787159013899,"projectUrl":"project/finding-our-calm/10486729/","projectTitle":"Finding our Calm","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Pulverenti","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp7083715_orig.jpg?crop=1:1,smart&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1580063796176","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/7083715"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_22197","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":341,"numTeachers":32,"percentFrplEligible":67,"percentAsian":0,"percentBlack":1,"percentWhite":72,"percentIndigenous":23,"percentLatinx":1,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","percentHawaiianImputed":0,"percentMultiracialImputed":1,"gradesServed":"Pre-K - 6","studentTeacherRatio":"10.7:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"RURAL","ncesMetroType":"RURAL_DISTANT"},"inStateSupporters":33.6,"schoolId":22197,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about C Grant Grimshaw School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"C Grant Grimshaw School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/new-york/la-fayette-central-school-district/c-grant-grimshaw-school/22197"}
