I have been given so many compliments...and had lots of questions asked! Like, \"where in the world did you get that?!\" I am proud to share that anonymous donors from Donors Choose are the entire reason for this magnificent addition to my classroom! The moment it arrived through the front doors at school was a moment of excitement and joy! You wouldn't think that a rug would ignite such feelings, but it sure did...times 18! \r\n\r\nWhen school began, the kids were just told \"find a space.\" Now, when we gather together for our whole group lessons the kids can find their own cozy spot, literally! The huge circular designs make it easy for kid to pick a space to call their own. No other little legs, knees, or shoes bumping into each other, haha!\r\n\r\nThank you for helping this wish come true! Kids don't often get to make their own decisions and that can be frustrating for their small bodies. This addition to our classroom gives each kid the opportunity to pick where they sit and call that space their very own. A classroom rug may not seem like much, but it is a game-changer for the teacher and the students!!! From the bottom of my heart, I thank you.","fullyFundedDate":1778779844980,"projectUrl":"project/cozy-parking-spots/10192027/","projectTitle":"Cozy Parking Spots!","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Skaggs","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp607492_orig.png?crop=505,506,x0,y45&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1687223851335","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/607492"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_11792","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":490,"numTeachers":31,"percentFrplEligible":95,"percentAsian":0,"percentBlack":44,"percentWhite":35,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":7,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","percentHawaiianImputed":0,"percentMultiracialImputed":12,"gradesServed":"K - 5","studentTeacherRatio":"15.8:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"SUBURBAN","ncesMetroType":"SUBURB_LARGE"},"inStateSupporters":45.9,"schoolId":11792,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Sherwood Elementary School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Sherwood Elementary School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/alabama/phenix-city-schools/sherwood-elementary-school/11792"}
