Students have also been using the books as mentor texts while learning to write factual paragraphs. They practiced organizing their ideas into clear informational paragraphs.\r\n\r\nReading is an important part of our daily routine. Students spend time reading independently, exploring topics that interest them, and sharing what they learn with classmates. The addition of these new books has increased engagement and excitement during reading time. \r\n\r\nMany students have especially enjoyed the animal books.The nonfiction books have also been very popular, particularly a book about Egyptian mummies that sparked curiosity and lively discussions among students.

The stools are bright and inviting, and the comfy cushions on top make them a perfect seating choice for small-group work and independent reading. Because the stools are portable and appropriately sized, students can move easily between the back table and other learning areas, which has improved collaboration and kept transitions smooth. The wobble cushions have been a wonderful addition for students who need gentle movement to stay focused; they offer a safe, sensory-friendly option that reduces restlessness and helps students remain engaged during lessons.\r\n\r\nYour generous support is already making a measurable difference in our classroom — the students absolutely love the new seating and use it every day. With increased comfort and movement, I've noticed longer periods of concentration during writing and reading, plus more productive discussions during group activities. Thank you for helping create a learning environment where every child can be comfortable, supported, and ready to participate. We are deeply grateful for your investment in our students' success.","fullyFundedDate":1765304080915,"projectUrl":"project/empower-student-focus-with-stools-and-wo/9615141/","projectTitle":"Empower Student Focus With Stools and Wobble Cushions Donations","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Garcia","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp9771951_orig.jpg?crop=1448,1448,x0,y111&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1747014479356","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9771951"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_41831","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":280,"numTeachers":31,"percentFrplEligible":89,"percentAsian":0,"percentBlack":5,"percentWhite":43,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":39,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","percentHawaiianImputed":1,"percentMultiracialImputed":8,"gradesServed":"K - 5","studentTeacherRatio":"9.0:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"SUBURBAN","ncesMetroType":"SUBURB_LARGE"},"inStateSupporters":58.8,"schoolId":41831,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Venetucci Elementary School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Venetucci Elementary School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/colorado/widefield-school-district/venetucci-elementary-school/41831"}
