Our CoZy Corner has made a noticeable difference. Since adding the beanbag chairs and games, students have become noticeably calmer during advisory and transition times; the soft seating and relaxed atmosphere give them a quiet place to reset, which reduces restlessness and helps them approach class with a steadier mindset. That calm carries over into lessons, especially on long or rigorous days, so the whole class benefits from fewer disruptions and a more peaceful learning environment.\r\n\r\nEqually important, students are more focused when they return to work. Having a comfortable, student-centered space where they can recharge, play a quick game, chat with a peer, or simply sit quietly which helps them regulate emotions and sharpen attention. As a result, participation and quality of work have improved: students complete tasks more thoughtfully and remain engaged for longer stretches. Your gift created more than furniture and games, it gave students the space they need to learn at their best.","fullyFundedDate":1755696546048,"projectUrl":"project/math-cozy-corner/9531723/","projectTitle":"Math CoZy Corner!","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Williams-Core","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp9682581_orig.jpg?crop=1:1,smart&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1754385507583","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9682581"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_75521","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":700,"numTeachers":44,"percentFrplEligible":94,"percentAsian":0,"percentBlack":61,"percentWhite":1,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":31,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"6 - 12","studentTeacherRatio":"15.9:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"URBAN","ncesMetroType":"CITY_LARGE"},"inStateSupporters":63.0,"schoolId":75521,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Boston Preparatory Charter School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Boston Preparatory Charter School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/massachusetts/massachusetts-department-of-education/boston-preparatory-charter-school/75521"}
