Their faces lit up with joy as they saw the new resources, and it was heartwarming to witness their enthusiasm. The books have quickly become a favorite part of our classroom routine, with students eagerly diving into the new stories. It's been amazing to see how the cozy reading pillows and rug have created a comfortable space that encourages them to settle down, focus, and truly enjoy their reading time. The atmosphere in the room has transformed into one of relaxation and engagement, and it's been wonderful to watch them embrace this new setup.\r\n\r\nThe calming tools have also been a great addition to our classroom, helping students manage their emotions and stay focused during the day. Many have used the stress-relief items, such as the fidget toys and sensory tools, to help them stay calm and centered. The calming corner, with its soft pillows and sensory resources, has become a peaceful retreat where students can take a moment to regulate themselves and return to class feeling refreshed. The combination of these new resources has created a more peaceful and engaging learning environment, and I am so grateful to see how much they are benefiting from them. Thank you for your support in providing these wonderful additions to our classroom!","fullyFundedDate":1727462729601,"projectUrl":"project/cozy-classroom/8576710/","projectTitle":"Cozy Classroom","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Napoli","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp5641862_orig.jpg?width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1550593811436","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/5641862"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_72420","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":492,"numTeachers":34,"percentFrplEligible":13,"percentAsian":12,"percentBlack":2,"percentWhite":63,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":11,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"K - 5","studentTeacherRatio":"14.5:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":false,"titleOne":false,"metroType":"URBAN","ncesMetroType":"CITY_MIDSIZE"},"inStateSupporters":60.0,"schoolId":72420,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Zach Core Knowledge Elementary School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Zach Core Knowledge Elementary School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/colorado/poudre-school-district/zach-core-knowledge-elementary-school/72420"}
