They immediately began exploring the different areas; some curled up on the pillows with a book, others tested out the lap desks during writing time, and several students eagerly hopped from tile to tile on our new sensory path. It was such a joyful moment that truly showed how much these resources meant to them.\r\n\r\nSince then, the materials have become part of our daily routines. The library bench and pillows have made our reading corner a cozy, inviting space, and I've already noticed students choosing to spend more time reading independently. The sensory tiles have given my students safe and fun ways to get their energy out, which helps them refocus for learning. During small groups, manipulatives and tools have made our math and literacy lessons more hands-on and engaging, giving students multiple ways to show their understanding.","fullyFundedDate":1748971999742,"projectUrl":"project/flexible-and-inclusive-learning/9392909/","projectTitle":"Flexible and Inclusive Learning","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Chiappari","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp8429965_orig.jpg?crop=1:1,smart&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1748555866750","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/8429965"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_71671","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":421,"numTeachers":36,"percentFrplEligible":80,"percentAsian":2,"percentBlack":15,"percentWhite":9,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":70,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","percentHawaiianImputed":0,"percentMultiracialImputed":1,"gradesServed":"K - 5","studentTeacherRatio":"11.7:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"SUBURBAN","ncesMetroType":"SUBURB_LARGE"},"inStateSupporters":62.9,"schoolId":71671,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Berwyn Heights Elementary School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Berwyn Heights Elementary School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/maryland/prince-george-s-county-public-schools/berwyn-heights-elementary-school/71671"}
