We are using the flexible seating daily during lessons, small-group work, and independent projects, giving students choice and ownership over their learning. Our mobile classroom setup and new storage shelves have helped us stay organized and move seamlessly between activities, while the additional tools have made hands-on learning more meaningful and accessible for every student.\r\n\r\nWhen the students first walked in and saw the new seating and materials, their excitement was immediate and genuine. They couldn't wait to try out the different seating options, and many shared how much more comfortable and focused they felt. One student said it felt like \"a real learning space made just for us,\" which perfectly captured the impact your support has had on their confidence and enthusiasm for learning.\r\n\r\nThanks to you, we are now able to take our current lessons even further. Students are collaborating more effectively, staying engaged longer, and using the classroom tools to deepen their understanding of new concepts. As we move forward, they will continue using this flexible environment to work on group projects, problem-solving activities, and creative learning experiences that wouldn't have been possible before. Thank you for investing in our students and for giving them a classroom that inspires curiosity, comfort, and growth.","fullyFundedDate":1757019376001,"projectUrl":"project/little-seats-big-learning/9526833/","projectTitle":"Little Seats, Big Learning!","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. McConvey","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-3_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/8619025"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_91289","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":525,"numTeachers":22,"percentFrplEligible":48,"percentAsian":9,"percentBlack":0,"percentWhite":25,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":56,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"Pre-K - 6","studentTeacherRatio":"23.9:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":false,"metroType":"SUBURBAN","ncesMetroType":"SUBURB_LARGE"},"inStateSupporters":74.7,"schoolId":91289,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Lomarena Elementary School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Lomarena Elementary School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/california/saddleback-valley-unified-school-district/lomarena-elementary-school/91289"}
