Your generosity allows my students to read a variety of books, especially the graphic novels, which are a definite fan favorite. The comfy gray loveseat allows my students a chance to sit comfortably out of their seat to read more like in the comfort of their home. They truly can't wait each and every day to ask to sit there and read one of the new popular graphic novels you bought for my classroom. I teach 3 classes of 24 students each, so all of my students get a chance to benefit and enjoy these new resources for my class. \r\n\r\nMy students were all so excited when the books arrived. They couldn't wait for me to talk about them and put them all out on the display shelves. They have been so popular that students are even buddy reading them, so more can enjoy them at once. The couch definitely peeked their excitement. They begged me to open it right away, but I needed time to put it together after school, so they had to wait a couple of days. The excitement to see it and use it was contagious. Once I put it together, they walked in and commented immediately about how cool it looked right away, and it has been used ever since. My students will continue to benefit from these books and comfy seating. Thanks again for your kindness and generosity.","fullyFundedDate":1726678017016,"projectUrl":"project/connected-and-comfortable-reading/8472853/","projectTitle":"Connected and Comfortable Reading","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. DeLaGarza","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp3922111_orig.jpg?crop=821,821,x0,y76&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1684987115494","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/3922111"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_14369","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":482,"numTeachers":34,"percentFrplEligible":91,"percentAsian":0,"percentBlack":12,"percentWhite":37,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":46,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"K - 5","studentTeacherRatio":"14.2:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"URBAN","ncesMetroType":"CITY_MIDSIZE"},"inStateSupporters":73.0,"schoolId":14369,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Bonham Elementary School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Bonham Elementary School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/texas/abilene-independent-school-district/bonham-elementary-school/14369"}
