This support has been instrumental in enhancing the educational experience of our students. With the new equipment, our students have the opportunity to delve into the basics of pickleball during our class unit. This exposure not only enriches their learning but also adds excitement to their physical education curriculum.\r\n\r\nAdditionally, we are thrilled to announce the launch of an afterschool pickleball program during the winter months. This initiative aims to provide students with a fun and engaging way to stay active even when classes are over for the day. The enthusiasm for this program is already palpable, and many students are eager to participate and develop their skills further.\r\n\r\nYour generosity has sparked a newfound interest in sports among our students, inspiring them to explore and enjoy the thrill of engaging in a new activity. Pickleball, with its unique blend of elements from tennis, badminton, and ping-pong, offers a wonderful introduction to racquet sports. It is particularly beneficial for students as it allows them to develop essential tennis skills at a more manageable pace, fostering confidence and competence.\r\n\r\nThe impact of your support extends beyond the classroom, encouraging students to embrace a healthy lifestyle and enjoy the community and sportsmanship that comes with playing sports. We cannot thank you enough for your invaluable contribution, which has made a significant difference in our students' lives.","fullyFundedDate":1745937450435,"projectUrl":"project/help-us-get-out-of-a-pickle-and-ball-out/9221419/","projectTitle":"Help Us Get Out of a Pickle and Ball Out!","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Sakaguchi","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp9199241_orig.jpg?crop=1:1,smart&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1743534482871","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9199241"},{"teacherId":7619028,"projectId":9150451,"letterContent":"My kindergarteners were so excited when they saw all the new art supplies!

With tools like digital timers, calming videos, guided breathing apps, or even just consistent access to audio cues and sensory breaks, students are better able to manage their emotions and transitions throughout the day. These tech-based supports help reduce stress, increase focus, and allow students to return to academic tasks more quickly after feeling overwhelmed.\r\n\r\nWhat excites students most is the sense of control and independence the technology gives them. Many love using visual timers or calming videos to self-regulate without needing to ask for help. It gives them confidence to say, \"I need a break,\" and then choose a strategy that works for them. For some students, being able to tap on a device and see a breathing exercise or a soothing animation helps them feel seen, supported, and empowered.\r\n\r\nThere are a few students who have truly blossomed with the addition of these tools. One student in particular, who used to struggle with frequent emotional outbursts, now uses a breathing app and visual countdown timer independently to calm down when feeling anxious. Another student, who was very shy and hesitant to ask for help, now confidently uses a noise-reducing app and sensory input videos during independent work time. These tools have not only helped them regulate emotions but also improved their classroom participation and peer relationships.","fullyFundedDate":1745846964432,"projectUrl":"project/self-regulation/9130147/","projectTitle":"Self Regulation","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Bermudez","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp9267112_orig.png?crop=951,951,x388,y317&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1696977463774","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9267112"},{"teacherId":9267112,"projectId":9115054,"letterContent":"1.
