For some of my students, managing their emotions, handling frustration, and staying focused can be just as challenging as the academic work itself. Thanks to your kindness, we now have a dedicated space where students can take a moment to regulate their emotions, reset, and prepare themselves to return to learning.\r\n\r\nThis space has made a meaningful difference in our classroom. Rather than allowing frustration or overwhelming feelings to interfere with their entire day, students have a place where they can practice calming strategies, regain control, and work toward becoming more independent in managing their emotions. It also gives us opportunities to teach important life skills that extend far beyond the classroom.\r\n\r\nOne of the most rewarding parts of teaching is watching students recognize what they need and begin using strategies to help themselves. Your donations have helped us create an environment where students understand that needing a break is okay and that having a difficult moment does not mean they cannot have a successful day.\r\n\r\nThank you for investing in my students and recognizing that meeting their social and emotional needs is an important part of helping them grow academically. Your generosity has provided more than just classroom materials. You have helped create a space where students can feel understood, supported, and ready to thrive.\r\n\r\nWith heartfelt appreciation,\r\n\r\nMrs. Roberson\r\nExceptional Children Teacher\r\nShawboro Elementary School","fullyFundedDate":1787585351681,"projectUrl":"project/help-give-my-students-a-space-to-regulat/10431967/","projectTitle":"Help Give My Students a Space to Regulate and Thrive","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Holly","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-4_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/10571927"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_96247","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":621,"numTeachers":35,"percentFrplEligible":36,"percentAsian":0,"percentBlack":5,"percentWhite":77,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":7,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","percentHawaiianImputed":0,"percentMultiracialImputed":8,"gradesServed":"K - 5","studentTeacherRatio":"17.7:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"RURAL","ncesMetroType":"RURAL_DISTANT"},"inStateSupporters":64.3,"schoolId":96247,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Shawboro Elementary School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Shawboro Elementary School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/north-carolina/currituck-county-school-district/shawboro-elementary-school/96247"}
