With the addition of calming elements such as soft lighting, plants, and natural materials, the atmosphere has become more inviting and conducive to focus. The plants not only brighten the space but also improve air quality, fostering a healthier, more vibrant setting for learning. This connection to nature helps reduce stress levels, creating a calming effect on students and teachers alike, allowing everyone to feel more grounded and present throughout the day.\r\n\r\nIncorporating sustainable and eco-friendly materials has also contributed to a sense of tranquility. The shift from traditional classroom supplies to more environmentally conscious alternatives, such as recycled paper and reusable containers, creates a sense of responsibility and connection to the world beyond the classroom. These changes encourage mindfulness, helping students feel more attuned to the natural environment and fostering a deeper respect for sustainability. The conscious effort to reduce waste and incorporate green practices not only supports the planet but also nurtures a culture of care and intentionality within the classroom.\r\n\r\nLastly, the new resources have created a more organized and uncluttered learning space, which has had a direct impact on mental clarity and focus. By adding storage solutions and organizing materials in a way that reduces visual distractions, the classroom now feels more spacious and calm. This simplicity and order help students concentrate better, promoting a peaceful and balanced state of mind. The quiet efficiency of the new resources has allowed for more productive and harmonious interactions, making the classroom a sanctuary for both learning and personal growth.","fullyFundedDate":1724046082809,"projectUrl":"project/serenity-of-landscapes-a-visual-journey/8663363/","projectTitle":"Serenity of Landscapes: A Visual Journey Around the World\"","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Boudreaux","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp7391276_orig.jpg?crop=273,273,x181,y200&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1723923229313","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/7391276"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_11643","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":1289,"numTeachers":64,"percentFrplEligible":95,"percentAsian":1,"percentBlack":30,"percentWhite":46,"percentIndigenous":3,"percentLatinx":10,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"9 - 12","studentTeacherRatio":"20.1:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"SUBURBAN","ncesMetroType":"SUBURB_MIDSIZE"},"inStateSupporters":65.9,"schoolId":11643,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about H.L.
