We use the flexible seating daily, especially during independent work time, and I've already seen students stay focused longer and feel more confident choosing a space that works for them.\r\n\r\nWhen my students first saw the new materials, they were so excited—especially the cozy seating and fresh, welcoming classroom setup. It made them feel proud of their classroom and motivated to take care of the space.\r\n\r\nThe organizational tools and laminated materials have made a big difference in our daily routines. Students are able to access materials more independently, and we are using reusable, hands-on activities during reading and math lessons to build skills in a more interactive way.\r\n\r\nMoving forward, we will continue using these resources to support small group instruction and independent practice. My goal is to keep building their independence, confidence, and engagement as they grow academically. Your support has truly made a lasting impact on my students and our classroom community.","fullyFundedDate":1759162231282,"projectUrl":"project/building-calm-minds-and-confident-learne/9508321/","projectTitle":"Building Calm Minds and Confident Learners!","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Trujillo","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp9908439_orig.jpg?crop=587,587,x0,y336&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1753740439310","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9908439"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_27318","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":437,"numTeachers":31,"percentFrplEligible":95,"percentAsian":0,"percentBlack":11,"percentWhite":15,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":68,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"1 - 5","studentTeacherRatio":"14.1:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"SUBURBAN","ncesMetroType":"SUBURB_LARGE"},"inStateSupporters":73.3,"schoolId":27318,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Indian Hill Elementary School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Indian Hill Elementary School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/illinois/round-lake-area-county-district-116/indian-hill-elementary-school/27318"}
