When the students first walked into the first day of school they, thought it was so cool how the lights were dimmed and lamps were on! It helps them to feel calm and welcomed in the classroom environment. I also have a job that is 'lights helper' and it is teaching them responsibility to turn the lights off every night. \r\n\r\nThere are big lamps towards the front of my classroom, and small lamps around my library to help students be able to see while still avoiding harsh overhead lights. The students love to sit by the lamps and read. They get sad when I have to turn the overhead lights on if it is a foggy day and we need a little more light. I am so thankful we don't have use the overheads every day and get the opportunity to use natural lighting due to a generous anonymous donor!","fullyFundedDate":1750253170318,"projectUrl":"project/getting-comfy-and-cozy-in-the-classroom/9380000/","projectTitle":"Getting Comfy and Cozy in the Classroom","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Ostrand","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-4_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/10000346"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_78877","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":237,"numTeachers":21,"percentFrplEligible":42,"percentAsian":0,"percentBlack":0,"percentWhite":85,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":5,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"Pre-K - 6","studentTeacherRatio":"11.3:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"RURAL","ncesMetroType":"RURAL_REMOTE"},"inStateSupporters":69.4,"schoolId":78877,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Oakland Craig Elementary School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Oakland Craig Elementary School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/nebraska/oakland-craig-school-district-14/oakland-craig-elementary-school/78877"}
