This space has already made a meaningful difference for my students.\r\n\r\nThe students truly enjoy sitting on the fruit slice pillows, where they feel comfortable and calm. They often use the new crayons to draw out feelings they can't yet put into words, which has been especially helpful for emotional expression. Some students choose to read the social-emotional learning books in the quiet corner to help regulate their emotions and refocus before returning to learning.\r\n\r\nBecause of your kindness, I see a positive change in our classroom environment. Students are better able to manage their emotions, take needed breaks, and rejoin the class ready to learn. This quiet corner has become a safe and supportive space for many of my students.\r\n\r\nThank you again for your generosity and for making such a positive impact on our classroom.\r\n\r\nSincerely,\r\nMrs. Harper","fullyFundedDate":1761660427172,"projectUrl":"project/color-me-calm/9792898/","projectTitle":"Color Me Calm","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Harper","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp9353305_orig.jpg?crop=1:1,smart&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1784316975869","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9353305"},{"teacherId":868731,"projectId":9879719,"letterContent":"As you can see my students love our new materials!!

The glue and activator are being used to make slime to study chemical changes and investigate the conservation of matter. The food coloring helped up make beautiful salt snowflakes to demonstrate physical changes. These materials make learning science my class's favorite activity of the work.
