The materials received have made such a huge impact on the students here at Brunson Elementary. Students have been learning about strategies to help with physical aggression by learning ing about their feelings and how to express them in an appropriate way. The books, feelings chart and emotion cards have served as essential, safe, and engaging tools that enhance self-awareness, empathy, and resilience by allowing our students to connect with characters facing diverse, relatable challenges. These books have improved their emotional vocabulary, reduced behavioral issues, and promoted positive mental health, which is helping students to make academic progress. \r\n\r\nStudents have been engaged and eager to participate in small group lessons about how to control their anger and deal with big emotions. This has led to students being able to accept differences, build confidence, and strengthen social skills and relationships with their peers. Our small groups sessions have consisted of intentional read-alouds, guided discussions, role-playing activities, and reflection exercises, students have developed stronger emotional awareness, self-regulation skills, and conflict-resolution strategies.\r\n\r\nI thank you all again so very much for your generous donation and support for me to be able to use the books and materials with my students.","fullyFundedDate":1762028571721,"projectUrl":"project/the-power-of-pause-learning-self-contr/9807485/","projectTitle":"The Power of Pause: Learning Self-control and Resilience","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Bradley","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-1_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/2963081"},{"teacherId":4445820,"projectId":9654284,"letterContent":"Thanks to you, every student has a place of their own. Thanks to you, every student can sit in a safe, comfortable environment, and learn. This year our class size increased by approximately seven students. The carpet we had previously had outgrown our class size. Carpet learning for the littles is essential. They know when they come to the carpet, they are going to learn something important. Thanks to you, they have the ability to not sit on top of each other and actually learn and focus. They have space from their neighbor. \r\n\r\nThanks to your gift, so much learning has taken place. Each student has a designated space on the carpet. Students enjoy the carpet for math time, reading, science, and social studies. The carpet is even utilized for groups during small group time. Students also utilize the carpet for STEM centers. It funtions as a safe place for students. When they first saw the carpet, they were so excited (for various reasons). Students said it reminded them of previous classrooms, and you saved my teacher ears from having to hear over and over, \"So and so it touching me.\" We all can sit comfortably without being distracted by our neighbor. The new carpet has been a lifesaver. \r\n\r\nWith deep gratitude, from the bottom of our hearts, we say thank you. We know that without you, this would not have been possible.","fullyFundedDate":1762028570789,"projectUrl":"project/a-seat-of-their-own/9654284/","projectTitle":"A Seat of Their Own","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Golden","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/272x272/tp4445820_272x272.jpg?width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1494288114397","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/4445820"},{"teacherId":8524053,"projectId":9965607,"letterContent":"Thanks to DonorsChoose, my second graders have the supplies they need to explore, create, and learn with excitement every single day.
