My students are absolutely loving the emotion sensory bottles. They've become such a fun and hands-on way for the kids to explore and talk about their feelings, and it's been amazing to watch them connect with the activity. Your gift also brought us so many wonderful new tools, like the Huggle Healers weighted stuffed animals, Bumpas stuffed animals, and the Squishy Sensory Discs. They're already making a big difference in helping the kids manage their emotions, get creative, and dive into learning in a really fun way.\r\n\r\nOne of my favorite moments so far was when we took the sensory discs to the theater. For some students, the discs provided just the right sensory input, helping them enjoy the performance more fully and feel more comfortable in that big, exciting space. It was such a joy to watch them explore the textures, relax, and share that experience with their classmates.\r\n\r\nLooking ahead, I'm so excited to keep using these resources in our social-emotional learning lessons and creative projects. The kids are practicing how to identify and express their feelings with the sensory bottles, while the weighted and Bumpas stuffed animals are helping them build empathy and teamwork skills. Your generosity has truly made our classroom a brighter, more supportive place, and I'm so grateful for your thoughtful support.","fullyFundedDate":1742955769122,"projectUrl":"project/comforting-hugs-calming-tools-support/9182343/","projectTitle":"Comforting Hugs & Calming Tools: Supporting Emotional Growth in Preschoolers","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Bove","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp4987414_orig.jpg?crop=1:1,smart&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1742754631061","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/c-bove"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_121682","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":null,"numTeachers":null,"percentFrplEligible":62,"percentAsian":5,"percentBlack":5,"percentWhite":82,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":3,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"US Census Data for the surrounding geographic area","gradesServed":"Not specified","studentTeacherRatio":null,"demographicsDataSource":"Census ZCTA","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":false,"metroType":"UNCLASSIFIED","ncesMetroType":null},"inStateSupporters":80.8,"schoolId":121682,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about COTRAIC Churchview Center - Head Start on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"COTRAIC Churchview Center - Head Start","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/pennsylvania/office-of-head-start/cotraic-churchview-center-head-start/121682"}
