Teaching Coping Skills During COVID 19

Funded Feb 17, 2021

Thank you so much for supporting my Donors Choose project! With your donations I received the following items: wiggle seats (for kids that need a little extra movement), fidget toys (for kids that need to keep their hands moving in order to focus), desk bands (which allow students to keep their feet moving so they can focus), kinetic sand (to help kids to relax when they see me), feelings journal (so that kids can express their feelings and share them as needed), a mini shredder (so kids can shred things that they have moved past, etc.), and some great books that will allow me to teach coping skills to many students in the school.

I have many frequent flyers that come to my office daily. They were so excited when they saw all of the tools that had been donated to help them learn. Many of them explored the fidget toys and I was able to give them one to keep so that they could use them throughout their day. This has even extended to our online learners that are able to pick up the items and use them and keep them at home. Your donation was truly appreciated! Thank you so much!”

With gratitude,

Mrs. Benson
