These stories are building empathy and understanding across cultures.\r\nThey also get to learn about underrepresented histories or perspectives.\r\nMost importantly we get to celebrate students' own cultural identities.\r\n\r\nIt has been really nice to see students that don't always pick up a book get excited about the titles of these books and even have some books that are consistently being passed along from one student to another. We get to have discussions about what we are reading and share so that others get excited about all the different titles in our small classroom library.\r\n\r\n\r\nThere cultural books have been a a game changer and extremely engaging.

Several of them immediately asked if they could sit wherever they wanted. It was a moment of pure bliss and curiosity. \r\nRight away, the classroom felt more like their space, a place designed for them to feel comfortable and ready to learn.\r\n\r\nSince then, we've been using the new seating every day. Students love grabbing a lap desk and fold out chair and finding a quiet corner to work. The yoga chairs have been a game changer for students that struggle with sitting still allowing them to focus longer without constant breaks. \r\n\r\nThank you, not just for your generosity, but for your belief in the importance of education and for your faith in teachers and students.

You have helped transform our classroom into a space where students feel empowered to learn in the ways that fit them best. For that, I am endlessly grateful.","fullyFundedDate":1750293732054,"projectUrl":"project/a-better-seat-for-a-better-student-exper/9370701/","projectTitle":"A Better Seat for a Better Student Experience","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Bowman","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-3_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/bowman-classroom"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_6960","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":301,"numTeachers":17,"percentFrplEligible":93,"percentAsian":5,"percentBlack":0,"percentWhite":7,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":80,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","percentHawaiianImputed":0,"percentMultiracialImputed":5,"gradesServed":"Pre-K - 5","studentTeacherRatio":"17.7:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"URBAN","ncesMetroType":"CITY_LARGE"},"inStateSupporters":87.5,"schoolId":6960,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Bertrand Avenue Elementary School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Bertrand Avenue Elementary School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/california/los-angeles-unified-school-district/bertrand-elementary-school/6960"}
