Students walk in everyday and I still hear compliments on how cozy the room feels and it truly does! The rug, greenery and locker added bring life to the classroom, that was once white cinderblock and gross carpet. Students can truly focus better on learning and I can tell they feel safe in room 112. \r\n\r\nThe additionally supplies (chart, escape room material and carts) have helped with the procedures and lessons for my students. The chart is used to house student jobs. The task of changing jobs and having it displayed where students could easily see it was becoming cumbersome. My new chart stores all I need in one, easily accessible location! The carts are also a game changer! Instead of worrying about where to put supplies to make transitions smooth I can wheel the supplies to the best location on a day to day basis. Lastly, the escape room lockbox has made it possible for me to make a creative review that I KNOW the students are going to love! \r\n\r\nIt was so much fun seeing the look on my students' faces when they saw my room transform. I cannot thank you enough for giving us this experience and this room that will last through many classes to come!","fullyFundedDate":1759168703567,"projectUrl":"project/comfortable-classroom/9399408/","projectTitle":"Comfortable Classroom","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Hale","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp6393928_orig.jpg?crop=432,432,x467,y230&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1555586614154","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/6393928"},{"teacherId":6393928,"projectId":4067920,"letterContent":"Your donations helped to create a classroom that feels like home for my students. The rug, black shelves and standing desks are a visual game changer right when you walk into my room. Students have a whole day of different classrooms and I have heard so many compliments about the \"feel\" when they walk into my room. It isn't cold or unwelcoming, but rather makes them feel at ease and relaxed. It's easy to dread moving from room to room, but the donations that were made by you have helped me to change that feeling for my students upon entering my classroom. This is a great start for them, because if they aren't comfortable or at ease it's even more of a challenge to get them to learn. \r\n\r\nThank you for your generosity!","fullyFundedDate":1565719479335,"projectUrl":"project/the-big-comfy-classroom/4067920/","projectTitle":"The Big Comfy Classroom!","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Hale","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp6393928_orig.jpg?crop=432,432,x467,y230&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1555586614154","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/6393928"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_84656","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":789,"numTeachers":49,"percentFrplEligible":50,"percentAsian":0,"percentBlack":1,"percentWhite":89,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":3,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"6 - 8","studentTeacherRatio":"16.1:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"TOWN","ncesMetroType":"TOWN_DISTANT"},"inStateSupporters":73.2,"schoolId":84656,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Mount Vernon Middle School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Mount Vernon Middle School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/ohio/mount-vernon-city-school-district/mt-vernon-middle-school/84656"}
