I also purchased a few different cozy seating options that have been very popular. \r\n\r\nThe boxes arrived on a Tuesday and sat at the back of my classroom all week. Students were trying to guess what the \"surprise\" could be. Over the weekend, I completely redid our library area. When they arrived to school the following Monday, they were ecstatic to see the library transformation. It is now a space that students enjoy being in. I have seen many students choose to sit in the library when they finish their work early. It is a complete joy to see them choose to read with their extra time. Thank you again for supporting my efforts in creating a love for reading in my students.","fullyFundedDate":1733168630291,"projectUrl":"project/lively-library/8888525/","projectTitle":"Lively Library","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Crystal","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp7144357_orig.jpg?crop=547,547,x266,y389&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1603426460169","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/7144357"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_24811","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":369,"numTeachers":18,"percentFrplEligible":39,"percentAsian":4,"percentBlack":0,"percentWhite":38,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":52,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"Pre-K - 5","studentTeacherRatio":"20.5:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"URBAN","ncesMetroType":"CITY_MIDSIZE"},"inStateSupporters":89.3,"schoolId":24811,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Acacia Elementary School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Acacia Elementary School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/california/conejo-valley-unified-school-district/acacia-elementary-school/24811"}
