Thanks to you, our students now have the tools they need to create and sustain a beautiful living classroom. Over the past few months, our students have been planting, watering, and caring for living things. Several students mentioned how excited they were to use real tools to tend the garden. \r\n\r\nIt has been inspiring to see how much the children are taking from this experience. They've practiced careful observation, had conversations, and drawn pictures to document the garden's progress. They patiently waited for the seeds to sprout, and celebrated each time a tiny new bud appeared. Several parents have commented on how important the garden is to their child, and a few have even started their own garden at home! \r\n\r\nI am so thankful to you for giving the students the opportunity to connect with nature in such a meaningful way. Your kindness has made our dream for a garden, and for our students, come alive!","fullyFundedDate":1759418853440,"projectUrl":"project/a-living-classroom/9403360/","projectTitle":"A Living Classroom","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Rachel","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp10052439_orig.jpg?crop=201,201,x0,y50&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1749417823356","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/10052439"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_75135","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":110,"numTeachers":11,"percentFrplEligible":7,"percentAsian":1,"percentBlack":1,"percentWhite":66,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":27,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"K - 6","studentTeacherRatio":"10.0:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":false,"titleOne":false,"metroType":"URBAN","ncesMetroType":"CITY_MIDSIZE"},"inStateSupporters":0.0,"schoolId":75135,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Lakeland Montessori Schoolhouse on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Lakeland Montessori Schoolhouse","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/florida/polk-county-school-district/lakeland-mont-schoolhouse/75135"}
