Many of them had never experienced singing bowls, chimes, or sound-based grounding tools before, and their reactions were immediate, calm, focused, and surprisingly open. Students who normally struggle with anxiety, restlessness, or frustration were able to settle into stillness and participate in a way I've never seen from them before.\r\nWe've already started using the sound therapy tools during mindfulness breaks, SEL lessons, and end-of-class cool-downs. One of our favorite routines is a guided relaxation session where students choose the sound they connect with most, then we practice breathing techniques alongside the tones. The room becomes quieter, more centered, and more grounded within minutes.\r\nThese materials have created a space where students feel safe enough to self-regulate, reset, and return to learning with a clearer mind. Several students have even asked to use the sound tools before tests or difficult assignments because they help them manage stress and focus.\r\nOur next step is to incorporate the sound therapy resources into a small wellness unit where students will learn how sound affects the nervous system, explore different grounding strategies, and reflect on what helps them feel most balanced. Your generosity has given us a powerful way to support mental health and emotional well-being in our classroom.\r\nThank you for making this possible. Your support has brought peace, connection, and healing into our school community.","fullyFundedDate":1644473816424,"projectUrl":"project/the-benefits-of-sound-therapy/6170875/","projectTitle":"The Benefits of Sound Therapy","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Rasmussen","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp8293823_orig.jpg?crop=278,278,x0,y1&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1643344646457","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/tiffany-rasmussen"},{"teacherId":8667170,"projectId":8849668,"letterContent":"Thank you for making a difference in the lives of the students at my school.

Your donation made current, new books on mental health and dealing with life issues available for our students. You have brought hope and healing opportunities.\r\n\r\nI have given various book talks about the books you funded. In fact, after discussing a graphic novel about overcoming abusive relationships, it flew off the shelf! There are various others I haven't seen since I added them to the library system because they've been checked out the whole time.
