From the moment the supplies arrived, my students were eager to help. They excitedly unboxed the materials together, explored the different fidgets, and talked openly about which tools felt calming or helpful to them. It was powerful to watch students not only engage with the materials, but also begin identifying which coping strategies worked best for their own needs.\r\n\r\nWe are already using these resources daily in meaningful ways. Students now know that when they feel anxious or overwhelmed, they can independently choose a coping strategy that supports them, such as grabbing a coloring page, using a fidget, or taking a moment to ground themselves. During our time together, students are able to sort through the fidgets, try them out, and name which ones helped them focus or calm down. This simple but intentional process helped normalize self-regulation and give students confidence in managing their emotions.\r\n\r\nNext, students will continue building on this learning by practicing when and where different coping strategies can be used most effectively. We will have conversations about choosing tools that support them without disrupting others. For example, understanding that a quiet fidget or coloring page may be appropriate in a crowded classroom, while movement-based or louder strategies might be better used in my office or during breaks. This next step helps students develop self-awareness, decision-making skills, and respect for shared spaces. Thanks to your generosity, students are learning not just what coping strategies help them, but how and when to use them successfully in real-life situations.","fullyFundedDate":1764640901874,"projectUrl":"project/hands-on-coping-skills-toolkits-for-stud/9908669/","projectTitle":"Hands-On Coping Skills Toolkits for Student Wellness","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Keck","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp10257906_orig.jpg?crop=2316,2316,x0,y0&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1758335170039","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/10257906"},{"teacherId":9827397,"projectId":9921241,"letterContent":"Thanks to your generosity, Calm Corner Essentials: Sensory Supports for Student Well-Being has become an important part of our daily classroom routine. Students use the calm corner when emotions feel overwhelming, during moments of anxiety, or when they need a brief reset before continuing their learning. The sensory tools allow students to regulate themselves independently—whether that means squeezing a stress ball, using calming visuals, or sitting quietly to breathe and refocus—so they can return to class ready to engage.\r\n\r\nWhen the materials arrived, my students were immediately excited and deeply appreciative. Several students shared that they finally felt \"understood\" and relieved to have a space designed for their emotional needs. Others were simply eager to explore the tools and asked thoughtful questions about how and when to use them responsibly. That first moment made it clear how much this space was needed.\r\n\r\nBecause of this project, students are better able to manage stress, stay present, and persist through challenging tasks. As we move forward with our current lessons, including reading, writing, and exam preparation, students are using the calm corner proactively to reset and refocus rather than disengaging. Your support has helped create a classroom environment where well-being and learning go hand in hand, and we are truly grateful for the positive impact you've made.","fullyFundedDate":1764619855654,"projectUrl":"project/calm-corner-essentials-sensory-supports/9921241/","projectTitle":"Calm Corner Essentials: Sensory Supports for Student Well-Being","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Schutt - Kovacich","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp9827397_orig.jpg?crop=1:1,smart&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1739564274217","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/shelby-kovacich"},{"teacherId":9827397,"projectId":9754758,"letterContent":"Because of your generosity, our students walked into state testing feeling supported, focused, and ready to do their best.

Within the first day, students had already begun taking materials like fidgets, grounding tools, and mindfulness items to peers who needed a moment to reset. Watching them take responsibility for one another's well-being has been one of the most rewarding parts of this project.\r\n\r\nNow that the wellness cart is fully set up, the next step is empowering students to continue managing it throughout the year. They'll help monitor supplies, restock materials, and make decisions about what items should be added to best support peers. This project is becoming a meaningful lesson in compassion, leadership, and community care, one that will keep growing as our students do.\r\n\r\nThank you for believing in our students and supporting a project that encourages wellness, kindness, and connection.

These snacks are one of the most meaningful ways we recognize and celebrate our students' positive choices and hard work. In our school, students earn \"Shark Bites\" for showing respect, responsibility, and resilience. Now, they're able to redeem those Shark Bites for the snacks they love, turning their efforts into something tangible and motivating.\r\n\r\nThe excitement was immediate! The first time we restocked our PBIS store with chips, candy, and snacks from this project, students could hardly contain their enthusiasm. They crowded around to see what was new, proudly counting up their Shark Bites to \"shop.\" The best part was hearing them encourage one another, reminding their peers to stay on track so they could earn their own rewards too. The sense of community and positive energy this created has been incredible to witness.\r\n\r\nBeyond the student excitement, this project has also lifted a huge weight off our staff. In the past, teachers and counselors often purchased snacks for PBIS rewards out of their own pockets.
