The new rug has quickly become a favorite spot for group activities and discussions. Whether we're gathered for morning meetings, diving into read-aloud stories, or brainstorming ideas as a class, the rug provides a cozy and inviting area where students feel connected and focused. Recently, we used it for a collaborative project on plants. Students worked together, sharing ideas and presenting their findings while seated comfortably in our new group space. It's amazing how much more engaged and confident they are when they feel part of a community.\r\n\r\nThe wiggle stools and alternative seating options have been game-changers for some of my more active learners. One student, who often struggled to sit still during lessons, has found the wiggle stool to be a perfect fit. He now stays engaged and focused, participating in activities with renewed enthusiasm. The flexibility of being able to move and shift positions while working has made a noticeable difference not just for him, but for several other students as well. It's remarkable to see how a simple change in seating can positively impact learning outcomes.\r\n\r\nOur calm corner is another resource that has truly enriched our classroom environment. With its cozy seating, stress balls, and sensory tools, it has become a haven for students who need a moment to regroup. One memorable moment was when a student, feeling overwhelmed during a math lesson, asked to spend a few minutes in the calm corner. She returned to her desk feeling refreshed and ready to tackle the problem with a clear mind. The calm corner has empowered my students to recognize and manage their emotions, which is a crucial life skill.","fullyFundedDate":1723681471794,"projectUrl":"project/mindful-learning-space/8644517/","projectTitle":"Mindful Learning Space","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Abousamra","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp8056278_orig.png?crop=398,398,x0,y1&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1683492436509","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/abousamra"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_4984","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":446,"numTeachers":23,"percentFrplEligible":44,"percentAsian":15,"percentBlack":0,"percentWhite":11,"percentIndigenous":1,"percentLatinx":65,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"Pre-K - 5","studentTeacherRatio":"19.4:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"URBAN","ncesMetroType":"CITY_MIDSIZE"},"inStateSupporters":80.2,"schoolId":4984,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Bishop Elementary School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Bishop Elementary School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/california/sunnyvale-school-district/bishop-elementary-school/4984"}
