These fidgets are not just toys - they are carefully chosen supports that help students regulate their emotions, manage anxiety, and stay focused during learning and counseling activities. For many of my students, especially in lower elementary, having something appropriate to hold or manipulate can be the difference between feeling overwhelmed and feeling calm, confident, and ready to learn.\r\n\r\nThese tools are used during individual counseling sessions, small groups, and even in classrooms when students need extra support with attention, self-control, or sensory regulation. I have already seen students who struggle with big feelings use fidgets to calm their bodies, express themselves more clearly, and participate more fully with peers. When students feel regulated, they are better able to build friendships, solve problems, and engage academically.\r\n\r\nYour support helps create an environment where students feel understood and supported rather than redirected or discouraged. Thank you for investing in tools that honor how children learn and grow. Your kindness directly impacts my students' emotional well-being and helps them develop skills they will carry with them far beyond the classroom.","fullyFundedDate":1762266296179,"projectUrl":"project/sensory-and-stress-tools-for-little-lion/9427481/","projectTitle":"Sensory and Stress Tools for Little Lions' Big Feelings","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Forti","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp10060815_orig.jpg?width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1753478194896","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/mrs-forti"},{"teacherId":10060815,"projectId":9425957,"letterContent":"Thanks to your generosity, our lower elementary students are benefiting from meaningful social-emotional learning books that are already making a difference in our school.

For many of our youngest learners, stories provide a safe and engaging way to talk about big feelings and everyday struggles.
