Your support means the world to our Pre-K community, and I wanted to share with you just how much of a difference these items are already making for our students.\r\n\r\nIn Pre-Kindergarten, we focus heavily on social-emotional learning. At four and five years old, children experience very \"big\" feelings—frustration, sadness, excitement, and anxiety—but they often lack the vocabulary or coping mechanisms to process them. This is where the Calm Center comes in.\r\n\r\nBecause of your donation, our students now have a dedicated, safe, and comfortable space to retreat to when they feel overwhelmed. The specific materials you provided are essential tools for self-regulation.\r\nYour generosity has not just filled a corner of a room with things; it has given our students a sanctuary where they learn that their feelings are valid and manageable.\r\n\r\nThank you for believing in our students and investing in their success. We are incredibly lucky to have supporters like you.","fullyFundedDate":1756616418287,"projectUrl":"project/safe-place-for-strong-feelings/9518301/","projectTitle":"Safe Place for Strong Feelings","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Cortejoso","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-1_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/4917880"},{"teacherId":9967100,"projectId":9564573,"letterContent":"Thank you so much for the clipboards you generously provided.
