This space has been used as a space to not only read and complete work, but also as a space to reset and calm their bodies. My students utilize the reading corner daily to read books with classmates and they light up when it is time for free reading. My first graders have also utilized the reading corner when they need a calm space to complete their assignments. I have seen a huge increase in the amount of work my kiddos get done when they have the option to use this space.\r\n\r\nI still remember how excited they were the first time they came into the classroom and saw our new reading space. They take pride in this area and they ensure that all books, beanbags, and breathing tools are back in their right place at the end of the day. \r\n\r\nI am beyond thankful for amazing donors like you that have helped me turn my classroom into a comfortable and safe space for my first graders.","fullyFundedDate":1725972910621,"projectUrl":"project/comfy-and-cozy-reading-nook/8742150/","projectTitle":"Comfy and Cozy Reading Nook","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Botkin","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-3_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9695625"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_78585","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":343,"numTeachers":59,"percentFrplEligible":36,"percentAsian":0,"percentBlack":0,"percentWhite":79,"percentIndigenous":1,"percentLatinx":8,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"Pre-K - 1","studentTeacherRatio":"5.8:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":false,"titleOne":false,"metroType":"URBAN","ncesMetroType":"CITY_SMALL"},"inStateSupporters":64.7,"schoolId":78585,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Hellgate Elementary School 2 on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Hellgate Elementary School 2","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/montana/hellgate-elem-school-dist-4/hellgate-elementary-school-2/78585"}
