Having different light options in a classroom without windows has made such a difference. \r\n\r\nThe soft, warm lighting has transformed our classroom into a more welcoming and focused space. Students are more relaxed and engaged, especially during reading time, group work, and independent study. The lamps help create a cozy atmosphere that encourages concentration and creativity.\r\n\r\nIt's amazing how something as simple as lighting can have such a big impact—and it's all thanks to you. Your kindness reminds my students that there are people who believe in them and want to support their success.\r\n\r\nWe are truly grateful for your contribution.

My students have been greatly impacted by this new seating in my classroom. I have placed the new wobble stools at my small group table and my students love it. They are able to move freely as they wiggle in their seat. \r\n\r\nWhen I set up my room for the class, they came in and were so excited to see the new furniture! They walked in like it was Christmas morning. My students wanted to try out all the new seating. For the first part of the morning, we were taking turns trying out the new chairs, cushions, stools and looking at the new decorations we added to our tables.\r\n\r\nBecause of your contributions, we are able to have a functional yet exciting classroom environment. For my next project, in order to give every student the things that they need, I am working to differentiate instruction into small groups and implementing math centers to our day. I will be using math games to give students a break in rotation to play games while doing math problems to perfect their skills. Again, thank you so much for helping me make my classroom a calm and comfortable space for all of my students.","fullyFundedDate":1735657783177,"projectUrl":"project/flexible-seating-is-flexible-learning-fo/8894945/","projectTitle":"Flexible Seating Is Flexible Learning For Fifth Grade","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Busa","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-2_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/8844662"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_63788","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":665,"numTeachers":44,"percentFrplEligible":87,"percentAsian":3,"percentBlack":9,"percentWhite":33,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":49,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"1 - 5","studentTeacherRatio":"15.1:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"SUBURBAN","ncesMetroType":"SUBURB_MIDSIZE"},"inStateSupporters":81.1,"schoolId":63788,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Northwest Elementary School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Northwest Elementary School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/massachusetts/leominster-school-district/northwest-elementary-school/63788"}
