The students now have a comfortable carpet that allows them to have a large space to create their STEM projects as well as a place to read and learn. \r\nThe reading rug is a dynamic additional to the classroom. It is the center of our learning. We can now conduct our morning meetings, learn our social skills lessons, reading and phonemic awareness lessons, Science and Math lessons. The carpet is the center of our learning and the students are so happy. \r\nThank you for making our classroom environment the ideal place to learn. \r\nYou have made a positive and dynamic difference in our classroom learning environment.\r\nI would love to thank RIPPLE for matching the funds needed for this project.

That curiosity led to the decision to purchase additional titles for our older students. So really, this project is responsible for over 40 \"talking books\"!\r\n\r\nI continue to be touched and so, so grateful for the love this community so eagerly and lovingly displays for our school.

Students who have autonomy are more likely to make wise decisions as they grow older. I am so grateful that you have donated so that I can give these students the options that they need to succeed!\r\n\r\nBecause I was able to purchase high-quality items, I have been able to use these with 6 different groups of students and will continue to use them in years to come!\r\n\r\nThank you for your generosity.","fullyFundedDate":1577564949323,"projectUrl":"project/alternatives-from-the-norm/4664687/","projectTitle":"Alternatives From the Norm","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Stoneberg","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp6907541_orig.jpg?crop=240,240,x11,y0&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1742701751946","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/6907541"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_35974","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":155,"numTeachers":17,"percentFrplEligible":32,"percentAsian":5,"percentBlack":6,"percentWhite":53,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":15,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"1 - 5","studentTeacherRatio":"9.1:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":false,"titleOne":false,"metroType":"URBAN","ncesMetroType":"CITY_LARGE"},"inStateSupporters":77.8,"schoolId":35974,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Stevens Elementary School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Stevens Elementary School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/washington/district-one-seattle-public-schools/stevens-elementary-school/35974"}
