Your generous contribution has truly transformed our learning space into a warm, welcoming environment where students feel at home.\r\n\r\nThe moment the new seating and lights were set up, my students were beyond excited. They immediately gravitated to the new spots, curling up with books or chatting with friends in the cozy corners. It's become a place where they can relax, focus, and feel comfortable, which has made a huge difference in how they approach learning. They love having choices about where they work or read, and I've noticed a positive shift in their engagement and overall mood.\r\n\r\nI've received so many compliments from visitors who say the classroom feels inviting and calming. It's clear that my students take great pride in the space, and they genuinely feel a sense of ownership over it. This has sparked a deeper connection to their learning and has helped foster a stronger community in our classroom.\r\n\r\nLooking ahead, we'll continue to make the most of our new environment. I'm planning to incorporate more group work, book clubs, and student-led discussions in these cozy spots, encouraging my students to take an active role in their learning. They've already started to use these spaces to collaborate and share ideas, and I'm excited to see how the environment continues to inspire them.\r\n\r\nThank you once again for making this possible. Your support has truly made our classroom a place where students feel valued, safe, and eager to learn.","fullyFundedDate":1732587701698,"projectUrl":"project/cozy-nook-inspiring-lifelong-readers/8523430/","projectTitle":"Cozy Nook: Inspiring Lifelong Readers","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Alba","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp2781878_orig.jpg?crop=1:1,smart&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1694565620456","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/maribelalba"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_35435","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":492,"numTeachers":22,"percentFrplEligible":95,"percentAsian":5,"percentBlack":7,"percentWhite":2,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":81,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"Pre-K - 6","studentTeacherRatio":"22.4:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"URBAN","ncesMetroType":"SUBURB_LARGE"},"inStateSupporters":60.0,"schoolId":35435,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Warm Springs Elementary School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Warm Springs Elementary School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/california/san-bernardino-city-unified-school-district/warm-springs-elementary-school/35435"}
