This was my first funded project, and I am beyond amazed by how rewarded and loved our students feel because of your kindness.\r\n\r\nEmotions can be a daily challenge for many children, and we continue to see how COVID has impacted the social and emotional learning of our youngest students. Many of our kindergartners were born during the pandemic, and their parents did their very best raising them through such uncertain times. Each day, I witness how big emotions can quickly take over a little body — and having tools to help students regulate those emotions is truly critical.\r\n\r\nI can't thank you enough! Sometimes, something as simple as a snack can help calm emotions. Our district provides free breakfast and lunch for all students, as many of our families face financial challenges. Having a comfortable, cozy corner where children can feel safe and secure has been absolutely magical. Pretend and interactive play have given students opportunities to model positive behaviors and build stronger relationships with teachers and peers.\r\n\r\nWords cannot express how full my heart is — thank you for making such a difference!","fullyFundedDate":1759176091550,"projectUrl":"project/emotion-regulators/9667913/","projectTitle":"Emotion Regulators","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Allard or Nurse Chelsi","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp9792343_orig.jpg?crop=1:1,smart&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1757157022404","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9792343"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_55660","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":507,"numTeachers":41,"percentFrplEligible":50,"percentAsian":8,"percentBlack":6,"percentWhite":43,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":21,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"Pre-K - 2","studentTeacherRatio":"12.4:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":false,"metroType":"SUBURBAN","ncesMetroType":"SUBURB_LARGE"},"inStateSupporters":91.3,"schoolId":55660,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Discovery Primary School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Discovery Primary School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/washington/fife-school-district-417/discovery-primary-school/55660"}
