The sensory socks, social-emotional learning games, and calming tools have been instrumental in helping our learners regulate their emotions, build social awareness, and take meaningful breaks when they feel overwhelmed. These resources will benefit many students throughout the school years to come—providing them with tools to manage stress, refocus, and return to learning ready to succeed.\r\n\r\nOur Zen Den has become a safe haven for students who need time to reset, and your kindness has helped make that possible. Thank you for believing in the importance of mental health, emotional regulation, and creating nurturing spaces for all students to thrive.","fullyFundedDate":1740689840481,"projectUrl":"project/k-5-zen-den-pt-2/9109757/","projectTitle":"K-5 Zen Den Pt. 2","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Booth","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp9680743_orig.jpg?crop=2077,2077,x164,y531&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1728606237838","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/st-zen-den"},{"teacherId":9897080,"projectId":9239178,"letterContent":"Thank you so much for contributing to my project.

They are able to connect what they are seeing with the project they created. They ask me to recreate it all the time.
