They proudly print their finished pieces, admire their colorful artwork, and then read them aloud to classmates during our Writing Celebrations. After everyone shares, their work is added to our \"We are Writers\" bulletin board. \r\n\r\nYour donation didn't just supply a printer and paper, it encouraged reluctant writers to type and add illustrations, and it inspired confident writers to stretch their creativity.

The comfortable seating and inviting setup have helped students stay focused and enjoy their reading time more than ever.\r\n\r\nWhen the items arrived, the students were genuinely excited. Many of them rushed to test out the pillows and explore the soft carpet, while others went straight to the book bins to pick out new stories. The smile-face flower pillow quickly became a classroom favorite.\r\n\r\nAs we move into lessons on building reading stamina and choosing \"just-right\" books, this space will continue to support their growth.

The new storage bins have helped keep these materials organized and easy for students to access independently.\r\n\r\nAs I first put out the materials, the class was immediately engaged. Several students sat down right away to start building with the magnetic blocks and Brain Flakes. Others opened the Play-Doh and began making letters and numbers.

Having this setup with the desks and chairs allows students to easily move to different groups without having to move chairs or desks every time they change groups.\r\n As these chairs were set up in a shared classroom, teachers get to bring their class to this room to try out this 'new' setup without having to change their room setup, which is either set up in groups of 6 students or in rows. \r\n Thank you again for the chairs, which classes will put to good use for years to come!","fullyFundedDate":1737169413778,"projectUrl":"project/help-get-chairs-for-conference-room-all/9032664/","projectTitle":"Help get chairs for conference room all classes can share!","teacherDisplayName":"Mr. Mauerman","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp9764796_orig.jpg?crop=3177,3177,x0,y243&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1726718403002","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9764796"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_4451","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":246,"numTeachers":11,"percentFrplEligible":84,"percentAsian":23,"percentBlack":8,"percentWhite":30,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":23,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"Pre-K - 5","studentTeacherRatio":"22.4:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"URBAN","ncesMetroType":"CITY_LARGE"},"inStateSupporters":83.3,"schoolId":4451,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Redding Elementary School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Redding Elementary School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/california/san-francisco-unified-school-district/redding-elementary-school/4451"}
