Having a variety of books available allows each student to find stories and topics that capture their attention while helping them strengthen their reading skills, expand their vocabulary, build background knowledge, and develop a deeper understanding of the world around them.\r\n\r\nThese books will provide opportunities for students to explore new ideas, discover new favorite authors, and build confidence in their reading abilities. Most importantly, they will help create a classroom environment where reading is exciting, enjoyable, and accessible to everyone.\r\n\r\nYour generosity has made a meaningful difference in our classroom.

We use the shields during quizzes, independent practice, small-group rotations, and anytime students need fewer distractions. One moment that stood out was during a recent assessment: students who are usually anxious or easily distracted were noticeably calmer and more engaged. The shields created a quiet, personal workspace that helped them stay focused from start to finish.\r\n\r\nWhen the students first saw the shields, they were genuinely excited. Several students immediately said things like, \"This helps me think better,\" and \"I won't get distracted now.\" They appreciated having their own space and felt more comfortable taking their time and concentrating on their work. It was clear that the shields didn't just block visual distractions—they also boosted confidence and independence.\r\n\r\nBecause of your support, students are now better prepared for upcoming lessons and assessments that require sustained focus. Our next steps include using the privacy shields regularly during test preparation, writing assignments, and individualized learning activities. These shields will continue to be a valuable classroom resource that supports positive testing habits and helps students develop strong focus skills they'll carry with them beyond this year.\r\n\r\nThank you for giving my students the gift of focus and a learning environment where they can truly succeed.","fullyFundedDate":1763474703305,"projectUrl":"project/a-quiet-space-for-every-mind/9689937/","projectTitle":"A Quiet Space for Every Mind","teacherDisplayName":"Mr. Rebish","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp9850198_orig.jpg?crop=1:1,smart&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1732839987219","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9850198"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_79409","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":712,"numTeachers":33,"percentFrplEligible":95,"percentAsian":0,"percentBlack":6,"percentWhite":29,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":60,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","percentHawaiianImputed":0,"percentMultiracialImputed":3,"gradesServed":"Pre-K - 6","studentTeacherRatio":"21.6:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"SUBURBAN","ncesMetroType":"SUBURB_LARGE"},"inStateSupporters":81.7,"schoolId":79409,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about North Beardsley Elementary School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"North Beardsley Elementary School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/california/beardsley-school-district/north-beardsley-elementary-school/79409"}
