It has made all the difference in updating our space to accommodate for the therapeutic materials we use with students. Not only are the bookshelves useful for organizing purposes, but they are also aesthetically pleasing. The bookshelf you provided in this project matches our other bookshelf. Together, they help to create a calm and welcoming student-friendly environment. \r\n\r\nThis last week, students came back to school. Our office space was fully set up in time, in part because this project was funded last school year. I met so many students this week, and I heard from so many students how calming and nice the social work space is. The linen baskets are especially useful in keeping materials organized. Over the last couple years, we have acquired quite a few board and therapeutic games that support my students' social-emotional skillset and growth. \r\n\r\nAdditionally, I have met many new LEGO fanatics this week who have told me how excited they are to build the LEGO Botanical flowers! I will post pictures in the coming weeks once we have constructed the flowers and placed them in the vase that you also helped to provide. \r\n\r\nThanks to generous donors like you, our office space is a refuge for students with disabilities.

My students and I have been enjoying the new resources every single day, and they've made a real difference in our learning environment.\r\n\r\nOne of the biggest changes came from the tennis balls for our chairs. Before, the scraping noise could be loud and distracting, but now, our room is noticeably quieter and calmer. The first day the students walked in and heard (or didn't hear!) the difference, they were thrilled. A few even said, \"It sounds like a new classroom!\"\r\n\r\nThe new green reading chairs and colorful stools have quickly become student favorites. The reading chairs have created a cozy spot where students are eager to settle in with a book, and the stools at my small group table have made our small group time feel special and inviting. I also added a small organizer near my desk and mini organizers for crayons, colored pencils, and markers, which are helping us stay neat and focused during lessons.\r\n\r\nA recent moment that really stood out was during our reading rotations: students were so excited to choose a green chair and dive into their books. The quieter room, the colorful seating, and the organized materials all came together to create a calm, joyful learning atmosphere.\r\n\r\nAs we continue our current lessons, these resources are helping students stay more engaged and take pride in their learning space. Our next steps involve diving deeper into our reading and writing units, and the improved classroom environment is already helping them stay focused and enthusiastic.\r\n\r\nThank you again for investing in our classroom. Your kindness has truly made a difference, and we're so grateful to have your support.","fullyFundedDate":1759322968331,"projectUrl":"project/build-a-cozy-reading-corner/9758069/","projectTitle":"Build a Cozy Reading Corner!","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Ambrogio","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-4_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/10278667"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_5258","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":688,"numTeachers":38,"percentFrplEligible":15,"percentAsian":4,"percentBlack":1,"percentWhite":77,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":12,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","percentHawaiianImputed":0,"percentMultiracialImputed":3,"gradesServed":"K - 8","studentTeacherRatio":"18.1:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":false,"titleOne":false,"metroType":"URBAN","ncesMetroType":"CITY_LARGE"},"inStateSupporters":87.1,"schoolId":5258,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Ebinger Elementary School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Ebinger Elementary School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/illinois/chicago-public-school-district-299/ebinger-elementary-school/5258"}
