The softer lighting from the lamps and light covers reduces the harsh glare of fluorescent lights, creating a more calming atmosphere that helps students focus and feel at ease. Many students, especially those who are sensitive to bright lights or struggle with overstimulation, have expressed how the change makes it easier to concentrate and stay engaged during lessons. The more natural, diffused lighting has also contributed to a sense of relaxation, helping to reduce anxiety and make the classroom feel like a welcoming space rather than a sterile, institutional setting.\r\n\r\nThe addition of the rug has provided a cozy and functional space where students can gather for discussions, small group work, or independent reading. It has become a central part of the classroom, offering an alternative seating area that encourages collaboration and movement while maintaining structure. Students enjoy having the option to sit comfortably on the rug, which has helped create a more flexible learning environment that caters to different needs. Overall, these updates have not only enhanced the aesthetics of the classroom but have also positively impacted student engagement, focus, and overall well-being, making it a place where they feel comfortable and ready to learn.","fullyFundedDate":1733169116222,"projectUrl":"project/cozy-classroom/8749704/","projectTitle":"Cozy Classroom","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Wolff","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-9_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9715977"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_18869","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":419,"numTeachers":27,"percentFrplEligible":51,"percentAsian":0,"percentBlack":2,"percentWhite":91,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":3,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"3 - 5","studentTeacherRatio":"15.5:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"TOWN","ncesMetroType":"TOWN_DISTANT"},"inStateSupporters":76.6,"schoolId":18869,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Tzouanakis Intermediate School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Tzouanakis Intermediate School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/indiana/greencastle-community-school-corporation/tzouanakis-intermediate-school/18869"}
