Your support has made a noticeable difference in our learning environment, and I'm excited to share the impact it's had on my fourth-grade students.\r\nFrom the moment the chairs arrived, they became a highlight of our classroom. Students were immediately drawn to them, and they've quickly become a favorite spot during our daily \"Read to Self\" time. The chairs have added a sense of comfort and excitement to our reading routine, and students genuinely look forward to their turn to sit in one. It's amazing to see how something as simple as a cozy seat can spark enthusiasm for reading. Even my more reluctant readers are more engaged and focused when they're in one of the chairs. One student said, \"It feels like a real library now,\" and that sentiment has been echoed by many others.\r\n\r\nBeyond reading time, the chairs are also used during partner work in both math and reading. Students naturally gravitate toward them when working together, and I've noticed an increase in collaboration and focus. The chairs have helped create a more inviting and flexible learning space, encouraging students to take ownership of their work and their environment. They've also helped build a sense of community—students are respectful of the space and each other, and they take pride in keeping the library area neat and organized.\r\n\r\nYour donation has truly enhanced our classroom in ways that go beyond physical comfort. It has helped foster a love of reading, supported meaningful collaboration, and created a space where students feel valued and excited to learn. Thank you for investing in our classroom and in our students' growth. Your generosity has made a lasting impact, and we are incredibly grateful.","fullyFundedDate":1749471066627,"projectUrl":"project/comfy-readers-today-lifelong-learners-t/9385045/","projectTitle":"Comfy Readers Today, Lifelong Learners Tomorrow","teacherDisplayName":"Mr. Krajewski","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/272x272/tp2455078_272x272.jpg?width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1522891591285","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/2455078"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_45180","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":530,"numTeachers":37,"percentFrplEligible":23,"percentAsian":3,"percentBlack":3,"percentWhite":60,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":25,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"K - 5","studentTeacherRatio":"14.3:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":false,"titleOne":false,"metroType":"URBAN","ncesMetroType":"CITY_MIDSIZE"},"inStateSupporters":87.9,"schoolId":45180,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Bayview Elementary School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Bayview Elementary School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/florida/broward-county-public-schools/bayview-elementary-school/45180"}
