When they walked in the room they were so happy to see such a large, clean, and colorful carpet. Young children enjoy touching soft , comforting items and this carpet definitely fits the description.\r\n The carpet I choose has turtles and Lilly pads on it. There are also letters and numbers on it. The letters and numbers have been used to help students identify where to sit/stand and for number/letter recognition.\r\n As the year progresses, the graphics on the rug will be used for letter and number matching activities, a comforting place to take a nap, and a central location to gather in the room for story time and morning meeting.\r\n I am so very thankful to those of you who contributed to the project and the Benzo foundation who doubled the amount that donor's donated.","fullyFundedDate":1749409862861,"projectUrl":"project/cute-clean-carpet/9379088/","projectTitle":"Cute, Clean Carpet!","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Bonnie Jean","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp5362594_orig.jpg?crop=1090,1090,x26,y0&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1748201280096","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/5362594"},{"teacherId":3657369,"projectId":8440568,"letterContent":"We are absolutely loving our new class rug. We gather on it everyday to do our whole class learning. Students are also using the marker boards to complete class work and get feedback on their work. We are able to slide any graphic organizer in the boards and reuse it all day long. I teach 3 sections of second grade, so that makes our day run a lot smoother. The testing shields have created a very calm and quiet environment for students to test in, minimizing all distractions. With the addition of these items, our classroom environment is more calm and welcoming, creating a stress free space to learn.\r\n\r\nWe use the rolling marker board during small group time. this allows me to teach a smaller group of students at a time to increase understanding of the materials. I love the magnetic function and the fact that I can have one thing on one side and simply flip it to access a different set of materials.\r\n\r\nMy students also love not having the big bright florescent light on all day. They enjoy the soft light of the hanging lights. As a migraine sufferer myself, I can attest that the soft light is much better on our eyes and brains.","fullyFundedDate":1723682091682,"projectUrl":"project/calm-and-cozy-classroom/8440568/","projectTitle":"Calm and Cozy Classroom","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Pitre","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp3657369_orig.jpg?crop=272,272,x23,y49&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1715046302647","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/3657369"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_15833","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":388,"numTeachers":22,"percentFrplEligible":95,"percentAsian":0,"percentBlack":75,"percentWhite":18,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":1,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"Pre-K - 3","studentTeacherRatio":"17.6:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"RURAL","ncesMetroType":"RURAL_DISTANT"},"inStateSupporters":67.6,"schoolId":15833,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Vacherie Elementary School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Vacherie Elementary School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/louisiana/st-james-parish-school-district/vacherie-elementary-school/15833"}
