Your support has made a tremendous impact on our classroom, providing students with valuable resources to support their emotional and behavioral development. The Feelings Monster books have been particularly instrumental in helping our students identify and express their emotions in a healthy way, creating a supportive and welcoming space for conversations about emotional health and well-being. Meanwhile, the CBT Workbook has been an excellent tool for guiding students through practical strategies to manage stress, anxiety, and other challenges they face.\r\nThese thoughtful contributions have also greatly supported our students in managing their sensory needs throughout the school day. The sensory cubes and putty have proven to be invaluable tools for self-regulation, allowing students to focus more effectively on their academic tasks. Additionally, the Mandala coloring books provide a creative and calming outlet for students, helping them stay engaged and focused. Together, these resources are empowering our students to better navigate their academic and emotional journeys, contributing to their overall success in the classroom. Your generosity is truly making a difference in their lives, and we are deeply appreciative of your support.","fullyFundedDate":1763144240846,"projectUrl":"project/tools-to-support-emotional-growth-and-su/9812468/","projectTitle":"Tools to Support Emotional Growth and Success for All Learners","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Salerno","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-7_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/10263113"},{"teacherId":10263113,"projectId":9757670,"letterContent":"The \"Enhancing Behavioral Support through Sensory Tools: Promoting Regulation and Learning\" project has truly transformed my classroom.

This has created a calmer, more focused learning environment where every student can engage more fully with their lessons and participate with confidence.\r\nThese sensory tools also allow me to provide individualized support for each student. By meeting their unique needs, I can focus on teaching and helping them reach academic goals while supporting their social and emotional growth. Students are gaining independence, self-regulation skills, and the confidence to tackle challenges throughout the day.\r\nThanks to this project, my classroom has become a place where learning and growth happen more smoothly for everyone. Students are thriving academically, socially, and emotionally, and I am deeply grateful for the opportunity to provide them with these essential tools.","fullyFundedDate":1760020653387,"projectUrl":"project/enhancing-behavioral-support-through-sen/9757670/","projectTitle":"Enhancing Behavioral Support through Sensory Tools: Promoting Regulation and Learning","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Salerno","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-7_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/10263113"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_2313","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":412,"numTeachers":36,"percentFrplEligible":80,"percentAsian":1,"percentBlack":9,"percentWhite":75,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":6,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"K - 5","studentTeacherRatio":"11.4:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"RURAL","ncesMetroType":"TOWN_FRINGE"},"inStateSupporters":75.4,"schoolId":2313,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Southport Elementary School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Southport Elementary School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/north-carolina/brunswick-county-school-district/southport-elementary-school/2313"}
