Each bag contained calming tools such as: noise cancelling headphones, sit spot, fidgets, pinwheel used as a visual for deep breathing, bubbles, fidgets, and cold pack. Parents were trained on the tools during parent teacher conferences so they could see how each tool is used with the students. \r\n\r\nHaving all the tools in the bags made it very convenient for the student to carry with them in all environments. I had parents say how helpful the portable kit was during difficult situations such as going grocery shopping or to a restaurant. The bags were big enough to add more personalized items to use for the student as well. \r\n\r\nWith all my heart I would like to say Thank You! This has been one of the most vital programs I have every put together .

I have teamed up with the preschool teachers and paraprofessionals to teach our preschoolers how to use our new weighted or vibrating stuff animals. \r\n\r\nIt is a known fact that children will often seek bear hugs from parents/caretakers when they feel scared, sick, or tired. When parents are not around, and they are at school they still seek that deep pressure that hugs provide as they can be very calming. That got me thinking why not have comfort items such as a weighted dinosaur, or a vibrating ladybug to sit with the kids during circle time or at rest time. \r\n\r\nOccupational therapy and speech therapy has been collaborating to not only teach the kids how to use the equipment but also be able to communicate the need for a bear hug. We have students who has started to use a bear hug picture, sign, or a communication device to request a bear hug. Once they ask for one they can pick one of our fuzzy friends from the cart where they live when they are not being hugged. Thank you for funding this very heartwarming project and providing my little one's bear hugs every day!","fullyFundedDate":1733351675789,"projectUrl":"project/bear-hugs-needed-please/8896943/","projectTitle":"Bear Hugs Needed Please!","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Farrah","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp9490405_orig.jpg?crop=718,718,x0,y93&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1721667614561","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9490405"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_47645","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":70,"numTeachers":null,"percentFrplEligible":48,"percentAsian":1,"percentBlack":0,"percentWhite":90,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":5,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"US Census Data for the surrounding geographic area","gradesServed":"Not specified","studentTeacherRatio":null,"demographicsDataSource":"Census ZCTA","equityFocus":false,"titleOne":false,"metroType":"TOWN","ncesMetroType":null},"inStateSupporters":89.0,"schoolId":47645,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Starlight School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Starlight School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/ohio/east-central-ohio-esc-n-phil/starlight-school/47645"}
