I have the opportunity to travel to classroom for guidance lessons, pull small groups, and work with individuals. Many times, when I am working with our students, we are focusing on things such as kindness, being a good friend, responsibility, being honest, and respect. When I am working with kids on a more individual basis, we are often diving deeper into personal, hard topics. When students are sharing difficult things, being able to have things to fidget with and play with are often comforting. Young children communicate through their play, and as kids grow and get older, playing is comforting. Having fidget toys and small items that are made with quality are so important in a counseling office. Students love to have variety, but they also love to use these items, so it's important that the things I house in my small office are made well. With your generous donations, I was able to purchase many different tools for the students I serve that have already been helpful and beneficial in the daily work I do. These fidget toys have brought many smiles to children's faces, and they have served as a comfort as our students have been tackling difficult things in their lives. I am so appreciative of your incredible generosity, and I am so excited to see the benefit these supplies have to offer. Thank you for believing in my project, and thank you for helping our future generations to tackle difficult things.","fullyFundedDate":1729800382134,"projectUrl":"project/fidgets-and-feelings/8816188/","projectTitle":"Fidgets and Feelings","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Francis","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-1_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9775300"},{"teacherId":6359992,"projectId":8896467,"letterContent":"Thank you so much for your contribution to my classroom.
