As a school counselor, having access to a personal laminator has been a game-changer for the small group work I do with students. I've been able to create durable, reusable visuals and hands-on tools for social-emotional learning activities. For example, during a recent self-regulation group, students used emotion cards I laminated to talk through their feelings and practice matching coping strategies. These tools are helping make abstract concepts more concrete and engaging for my young learners.\r\n\r\nThe snacks have also made a huge difference—some students come to group straight from lunch or specials, and having a small snack helps them focus and feel cared for. When they first saw the new materials, they were excited and curious. One student asked, \"Are these for us?\" with a huge smile. It's amazing how something as small as a healthy snack or a fresh set of activity cards can make students feel valued and ready to learn.\r\n\r\nLooking ahead, I'm planning to use the laminator to build a \"calm corner\" toolkit for classrooms, so teachers can support students who need a break or some time to self-regulate. The tools you've helped provide will be used again and again across the building. Thank you for being a part of our work and helping students feel supported in both big and small ways!","fullyFundedDate":1737136318276,"projectUrl":"project/nurturing-minds-essential-tools-for-stu/8833934/","projectTitle":"Nurturing Minds: Essential Tools for Students Well-Being","teacherDisplayName":"Mr. Mangual","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp9628456_orig.jpg?crop=1:1,smart&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1723665378611","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9628456"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_392","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":311,"numTeachers":42,"percentFrplEligible":95,"percentAsian":0,"percentBlack":19,"percentWhite":1,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":79,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"6 - 8","studentTeacherRatio":"7.4:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"URBAN","ncesMetroType":"CITY_LARGE"},"inStateSupporters":58.9,"schoolId":392,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Middle School 390 on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Middle School 390","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/new-york/new-york-city-dept-of-ed/ms-390/392"}
