The bean bag has been a big hit in my classroom as it is such a cozy place to dive into any new books we are reading. Students seem very relaxed and focused when they are working there.\r\n\r\nWe are also greatly enjoying our brand new books. I am so happy to have enough copies to go around. We are using the book to work on our phrasing and fluency. We are also enjoying the themes of this wonderful text- including the importance of enjoying new beginnings. When we use this text as a class we have great discussions about what we would do if we were one of the characters in this book.\r\n\r\nThank you again for your support of my students. This is such an important time in their lives as readers. With your gifts I hope they find a life long love and enjoyment of reading.","fullyFundedDate":1767664902206,"projectUrl":"project/dive-in-books-bean-bags-and-big-ideas/9974673/","projectTitle":"Dive In: Books, Bean Bags, and Big Ideas","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Warren","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp6408137_orig.jpg?crop=272,272,x73,y48&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1556839585158","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/rachel-appell36"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_60251","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":458,"numTeachers":28,"percentFrplEligible":64,"percentAsian":1,"percentBlack":1,"percentWhite":81,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":8,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","percentHawaiianImputed":0,"percentMultiracialImputed":6,"gradesServed":"K - 5","studentTeacherRatio":"16.4:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"RURAL","ncesMetroType":"SUBURB_SMALL"},"inStateSupporters":62.3,"schoolId":60251,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Craneville Elementary School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Craneville Elementary School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/massachusetts/central-berkshire-regional-school-district/craneville-elementary-school/60251"}
