The students absolutely love the classroom rug and carpet sweeper. When they walked in our classroom and saw the rug for the first time, they ran to it, sat down, laid down, talked about how comfy it was, and couldn't stop talking about how cute it was. Several elementary teachers are getting rid of rugs and they haven't had one in a couple of years. It really was a nice surprise to them to have one again. Thank you so much for making our classroom feel more like home. \r\nWe use our rug daily. They love having a spot to go to when reading or working on chromebooks. We also use this space to share our work. We have laminate flooring, so the rug gives them a nice cozy spot to learn and read. Our favorite thing is to go to carpet all together as a class and the kids listen while I read to them. They are very prideful and love taking care of the rug. I actually had to create a system where everyone gets a turn sweeping with our new carpet sweeper, because they all love helping so much. \r\nThis is my first year in this classroom, so I do not have a lot of materials. My next steps for my students is learning about Earth science, physical science, and space science. I hope to get more supplies to help teach them these things with a more hands on approach.","fullyFundedDate":1757600308703,"projectUrl":"project/this-is-our-happy-place/9531731/","projectTitle":"This is our Happy Place","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Blythe","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-4_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/10110687"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_57842","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":387,"numTeachers":26,"percentFrplEligible":89,"percentAsian":0,"percentBlack":5,"percentWhite":80,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":2,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"3 - 5","studentTeacherRatio":"14.9:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"RURAL","ncesMetroType":"RURAL_FRINGE"},"inStateSupporters":81.8,"schoolId":57842,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Caldwell County Elementary School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Caldwell County Elementary School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/kentucky/caldwell-county-school-district/caldwell-co-elementary-school/57842"}
