The books, bean bags, rug, and lamp you provided have truly transformed our space into one that is cozy, inviting, and calming for our students.\r\nThese items have made a meaningful impact on our classroom beyond what pictures can show. They have sparked greater curiosity for reading and have become a wonderful incentive for students to complete their work. Many of them now look forward to finishing assignments so they can spend time reading or working in a space that feels comfortable and inspiring.\r\n\r\nOur students in the dual immersion program work incredibly hard every day to learn and grow in two languages. Having access to these thoughtful resources supports them not only academically, but emotionally, by giving them a space where they feel motivated, supported, and excited to learn. These tools are helping them move forward in their journey toward bilingualism and academic success.\r\n\r\nThis would not have been possible without the generosity of each and every donor who helped us reach our goal. Your kindness and support are deeply appreciated, and your impact will be felt every day in our classroom.\r\nThank you again for believing in our students and investing in their love of learning.","fullyFundedDate":1767222090020,"projectUrl":"project/our-dual-language-reading-nook/9676248/","projectTitle":"Our Dual Language Reading Nook","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Cordero","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/272x272/tp3822073_272x272.jpg?width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1472501037999","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/3822073"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_85537","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":564,"numTeachers":23,"percentFrplEligible":70,"percentAsian":14,"percentBlack":1,"percentWhite":1,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":78,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"Pre-K - 5","studentTeacherRatio":"24.5:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"SUBURBAN","ncesMetroType":"SUBURB_LARGE"},"inStateSupporters":69.8,"schoolId":85537,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Orangewood Elementary School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Orangewood Elementary School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/california/west-covina-unified-school-district/orangewood-elementary-school/85537"}
