The impact of your thoughtful contributions has truly enhanced our learning environment.\r\n The six bright-colored foldable floor chairs have been a wonderful addition. The students absolutely love sitting on them while reading their books. They provide a fun, comfortable, and inviting space that encourages independent reading.\r\n The soft blue floor rug has brought so much comfort and calmness to our reading corner. It's become a cozy spot where students can focus and immerse themselves in their books, creating a peaceful atmosphere perfect for learning.\r\n Additionally, the individual book bins have made a significant difference in our classroom. Students have shown a greater sense of independence by selecting books they want to read and keeping them in their own bins. Not only that, but they can also store their daily supplies in one place, ensuring they know where everything is and can be ready to learn. This has greatly reduced transition times and helped them stay organized.\r\n Finally, A BIG thank you as well for the mailbox organizers. Having two separate units to store the students' iPads has been a game changer. The students are able to access their iPads and textbooks easily and safely. With the additional space, they're no longer bumping into each other, and all the students, even those who need to reach the top shelf, can access their supplies.\r\n It has been so wonderful watching students every morning, gather around their iPad storage center and happily welcome each other to class. The items you provided have helped us create a relaxing, inviting, and calm space where the students feel comfortable and ready to learn. It's a place where they can sit safely, either reading from their bins or working together on projects.\r\n Your generosity has truly made a positive impact on our classroom, and I cannot thank you enough for helping us build such a wonderful learning space.","fullyFundedDate":1734532754491,"projectUrl":"project/relax-enjoy-read/8537280/","projectTitle":"Relax, Enjoy, Read!","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Baker","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/272x272/tp2475140_272x272.jpg?width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1532735995697","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/2475140"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_38583","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":320,"numTeachers":19,"percentFrplEligible":28,"percentAsian":3,"percentBlack":3,"percentWhite":69,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":14,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"Pre-K - 5","studentTeacherRatio":"16.8:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":false,"titleOne":false,"metroType":"URBAN","ncesMetroType":"CITY_SMALL"},"inStateSupporters":77.0,"schoolId":38583,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Prairie Elementary School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Prairie Elementary School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/wisconsin/waukesha-school-district/prairie-elementary-school/38583"}
