Your gift has already made a meaningful difference in our classroom and in the way our students learn together each day.\r\n\r\nOur classroom rug is much more than a comfortable place to sit. It serves as one of the central gathering spaces in our room. Throughout the school day, students come together on the rug for read-alouds, class discussions, phonics and literacy instruction, math lessons, morning meetings, and opportunities to build our classroom community.\r\n\r\nFor first graders, having a designated space to gather helps create structure and a sense of belonging. The rug gives each student a comfortable place to learn while allowing them to be close to the teacher and actively engaged in instruction. It has helped us create a classroom environment that feels welcoming, organized, and designed specifically for young learners.\r\n\r\nWe are incredibly grateful that you chose to invest in our students and our classroom. Your generosity is something our students benefit from every single school day, and this rug will continue to impact many classes of first graders for years to come.\r\n\r\nThank you for helping make our classroom a place where students can gather, learn, grow, and feel at home.","fullyFundedDate":1779451887434,"projectUrl":"project/a-space-to-gather-learn-and-grow-toget/10278989/","projectTitle":"A Space to Gather, Learn, and Grow Together","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Ferren","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-1_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/10505461"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_56684","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":364,"numTeachers":31,"percentFrplEligible":78,"percentAsian":2,"percentBlack":20,"percentWhite":51,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":12,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","percentHawaiianImputed":0,"percentMultiracialImputed":13,"gradesServed":"Pre-K - 3","studentTeacherRatio":"11.7:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"TOWN","ncesMetroType":"TOWN_DISTANT"},"inStateSupporters":70.3,"schoolId":56684,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Sidney Deener Elementary School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Sidney Deener Elementary School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/arkansas/searcy-school-district/sidney-deener-elementary-school/56684"}
