Because of your generosity, my students now have access to the floor seats for their calm down corner, the coloring materials, markers, and paintings for their art crafts, and the foods that energized them after a long day working hard in the classroom and now they have optional resources for their hands-on science learning.

With a welcoming and comfortable reading corner filled with colorful visuals, a child can sit down, relax, and explore books at their own pace. Instead of feeling pressured, they are encouraged to read because it feels enjoyable and natural. This safe, inviting space helps nurture curiosity, strengthens reading skills, and inspire a genuine love of books. Over time, students gain confidence, broaden their imagination, and develop a lifelong habit of learning through reading.\r\n\r\n\"When I sit in the reading corner, I feel calm and excited to explore the books around me. The colorful pictures and comfy space make reading fun, not something I have to do. I can pick what I want to read and take my time learning new things. It makes me curious to know more and helps me imagine big ideas. I love reading here because it feels like my own special place to learn, think, and grow every day.\" - Colby, 2nd-grade student from Buckland.","fullyFundedDate":1695737540632,"projectUrl":"project/magic-rug-for-an-adventurer-reader/7668936/","projectTitle":"Magic Rug, for an Adventurer Reader","teacherDisplayName":"Mr. Valliente","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp8842499_orig.jpg?crop=3024,3024,x0,y756&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1756670768797","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/valliente"},{"teacherId":8842499,"projectId":7033495,"letterContent":"Implementing more educational visuals in our classroom will significantly enrich the learning environment. Colorful, high-quality visuals not only capture attention but also enhance comprehension, making concepts more accessible and engaging for all students. Unlike standard black-and-white printouts, vibrant displays invite curiosity and encourage students to actively read, interact, and build connections with what they are learning. This project will transform our classroom into a stimulating space where knowledge is celebrated, creativity is nurtured, and every learner feels motivated to achieve their best.\r\nBringing more bright and colorful visuals into our classroom will make learning exciting every day! Instead of plain black-and-white posters, students will see eye-catching charts, vocabulary words, and inspiring images that spark their curiosity. These visuals help students understand big ideas more easily and encourage them to read and explore on their own. With your support, our classroom will become a fun and welcoming place where learning feels alive, and every child is motivated to grow and succeed.","fullyFundedDate":1671458797806,"projectUrl":"project/colored-printer-to-beautify-visuals/7033495/","projectTitle":"Colored Printer to Beautify Visuals","teacherDisplayName":"Mr. Valliente","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp8842499_orig.jpg?crop=3024,3024,x0,y756&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1756670768797","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/valliente"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_100006","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":211,"numTeachers":12,"percentFrplEligible":95,"percentAsian":1,"percentBlack":0,"percentWhite":0,"percentIndigenous":96,"percentLatinx":0,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"Pre-K - 12","studentTeacherRatio":"17.6:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"RURAL","ncesMetroType":"RURAL_REMOTE"},"inStateSupporters":7.7,"schoolId":100006,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Buckland School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Buckland School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/alaska/northwest-arctic-borough-school-district/buckland-school/100006"}
