Not only my students, but also the teachers, have been so excited to receive these mindfulness bins. Many teachers told me that they wanted to keep the bins and fidgets for themselves! Several teachers also told me that they have students who have already benefitted from using these materials during instruction. Teachers have already noticed students staying on task and managing stress better through the use of these materials. \r\n\r\nMy students truly seem to enjoy the fact that every classroom in the building has one of these bins, and know that these tools are meant to help them be successful. They have really embraced the concept and love all the different types of fidgets included in the bins. \r\n\r\nThank you again for helping to fund this project at Newfane Middle School!","fullyFundedDate":1752758046347,"projectUrl":"project/mindfulness-magic-in-the-classroom/9150642/","projectTitle":"Mindfulness Magic in the Classroom","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. DePoint","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp7135918_orig.jpg?crop=1:1,smart&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1584016288022","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/7135918"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_22763","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":363,"numTeachers":34,"percentFrplEligible":67,"percentAsian":0,"percentBlack":1,"percentWhite":90,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":2,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"4 - 8","studentTeacherRatio":"10.7:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":false,"metroType":"RURAL","ncesMetroType":"RURAL_DISTANT"},"inStateSupporters":75.0,"schoolId":22763,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Newfane Middle School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Newfane Middle School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/new-york/newfane-central-school-district/newfane-middle-school/22763"}
