Your generosity made it possible for me to finish furnishing and adding special touches to my new English Learner office. Because of you, our space now feels welcoming, calm, and ready for learning. The flexible seating and bean bags have made a real difference. Students can choose a spot where they feel comfortable and focused, and that sense of choice helps them feel more confident and ready to participate.\r\n\r\nThe first time students walked in and saw the new seating, their faces lit up. Many of them immediately found a favorite spot and settled in with big smiles. One student curled up in a bean bag with a book and proudly told me, \"This is my reading place.\" Since then, students have used the space for reading practice, conversations, writing, and small group lessons. The relaxed and inviting environment helps students take risks with language and share their ideas more freely.\r\n\r\nThis space continues to grow as a place where students feel supported and valued. They are building their English skills while also developing confidence as learners. Thank you for making this possible and for giving my students a space where they can feel comfortable, engaged, and ready to learn. Your support truly means so much to us.","fullyFundedDate":1759339631840,"projectUrl":"project/a-home-for-language/9526282/","projectTitle":"A Home for Language","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Dominguez","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-9_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/10107297"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_29238","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":586,"numTeachers":35,"percentFrplEligible":19,"percentAsian":32,"percentBlack":2,"percentWhite":49,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":8,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"K - 5","studentTeacherRatio":"16.7:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":false,"titleOne":false,"metroType":"URBAN","ncesMetroType":"CITY_MIDSIZE"},"inStateSupporters":88.9,"schoolId":29238,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Ranch View Elementary School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Ranch View Elementary School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/illinois/naperville-community-unit-school-district-203/ranch-view-elementary-school/29238"}
