Social Emotional Tools

Funded Nov 28, 2023

Thank you all so much for your support! It brought me such joy to be able to deliver all the goods to the teachers around the building. And then they were so happy! And then their students were so happy! As you can see in the photos that were uploaded, our spaces have been transformed in big and small ways because of your support. Our spaces look brighter, more inviting, and prettier than ever thanks to your donations.

In my classroom personally, students have been really working on transitions, again both big and small. They are getting ready for middle school and the feelings that come along with that transition are sometimes tough to deal with. One way we've been trying to ease their anxiety for this big transition is by practicing independent, small transitions in between periods. The red timer has been so helpful for that. It serves as a visual, gentle reminder for what they need to do and how they need to do it. A simple object like this has made such a big difference in our classroom.

I have been able to walk into all the classrooms that benefitted from your donations and have been so impressed with the physical spaces our teachers have created with your help. It feels calm and comforting and that is not always an easy thing to achieve in an elementary classroom! We are so grateful to have had your support in working towards this big goal of ours.”

With gratitude,
