Having new books in our classroom has created even more excitement around reading and has given my students more choices when it comes to finding a book that interests them.\r\n\r\nIn our classroom, reading is a big part of our day. Students read independently, with partners, in small groups, and together as a class. These new books are giving my students opportunities to practice important reading skills while also building their vocabulary, comprehension, fluency, and love of reading. I am especially excited to see students who may not always be eager to pick up a book become interested when they find a topic or story that catches their attention\r\n\r\nThank you so much for helping bring these books into our classroom! Seeing my students' faces light up as they unboxed the books and started looking through them was the best part. Your generosity is helping my students build a classroom library that they are excited to explore, and I know these books will be loved, read, and enjoyed all year long.","fullyFundedDate":1790184845967,"projectUrl":"project/help-us-build-a-classroom-library-with-b/10665654/","projectTitle":"Help Us Build a Classroom Library With Books We Love!","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Ruiz","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp10512752_orig.png?crop=1045,1045,x0,y160&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1781127677009","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/10512752"},{"teacherId":10512752,"projectId":10435854,"letterContent":"Thank you so much for bringing our Flexible Seats for Flexible Minds project to life! My students were so excited when the new seating arrived and immediately wanted to try everything out. We have been using the flexible seating during independent work, small groups, and reading time. Having different options has made our classroom feel more comfortable and welcoming, and my students love having some choice in where they learn.\r\n\r\nOne of my favorite things has been watching students figure out which seating option helps them do their best work. Some students prefer to wiggle while they work, while others like having a comfortable spot for reading or working with a small group. These seats have given my students another way to make our classroom work for them while still learning how to make responsible choices.\r\n\r\nAs their teacher, it means so much to me to be able to create a classroom where my students feel comfortable being themselves and where they have the tools they need to be successful. Seeing them excited to come into the classroom, find a spot that works for them, and settle in ready to learn is something I truly appreciate. Thank you for investing in my students and helping make Room 19 a place where they can learn, grow, and feel at home.","fullyFundedDate":1789396686424,"projectUrl":"project/flexible-minds-need-flexible-seats/10435854/","projectTitle":"Flexible Minds Need Flexible Seats","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Ruiz","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp10512752_orig.png?crop=1045,1045,x0,y160&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1781127677009","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/10512752"},{"teacherId":10289830,"projectId":9766300,"letterContent":"Thank you so much for your generosity. Your gift has made a profound impact on the students I support even though they may not see it themselves. The students in this classroom struggle with big emotions that can become overwhelming very quickly. The new calm-down corner provides them with a safe space to discharge and recharge as needed, while the variety of sensory items presents them with choice making opportunities which support self-advocacy and self-regulation skills. \r\n\r\nBecause of your gift, the students I support now have a special space in their classroom to wind down through exploration of different sensory items. The classroom had been recently renovated with fresh paint and new carpeting when the packages arrived and the new sensory corner has made the classroom even more special. The children are most excited to have the fluffy pillows. They love to crash land and lounge on them everyday. The various textured fidgets are also a big hit, especially the squishy ones. Although the students may not understand the full impact these resources provide them, I can see the difference they have made on the children's overall ability to rebound when days are rough.","fullyFundedDate":1764606294026,"projectUrl":"project/classroom-calm-down-corner/9766300/","projectTitle":"Classroom Calm Down Corner","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Dana","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp10289830_orig.jpg?crop=1386,1386,x0,y50&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1759087286896","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/10289830"},{"teacherId":7769936,"projectId":9754896,"letterContent":"We have enjoyed stepping outside, having fun, and discovering nature. We have been focused on making our Peace Garden beautiful, spreading cheer and learning new things-all while fostering teamwork, kindness and a sense of community!\r\nWe celebrated World Peace Day with the creation of our Peace Garden. It gives my students a meaningful, hands-on way to understand peace, cooperation and responsibility.\r\nStudents have taken an active role in improving our outdoor learning space this year. They planted spring flowers in the large planters, started an herb/flower garden, and worked together to clean, rake, and reorganize the Peace Garden area outside our classroom. These activities not only celebrate Earth Day, but empower students to be environmental stewards in their daily lives\r\nThis experience supports social studies and civics standards by helping second and third graders understand how individuals contribute to their community and how cooperation leads to positive change. It also connects to science standards as students learn about plant life cycles, caring for living things, and the environment.\r\nMost importantly, the Peace Garden encourages students to see themselves as environmental stewards. By caring for their garden, they learn that small, consistent actions—like watering plants, keeping spaces clean, and working together—can make a big difference.","fullyFundedDate":1764362562161,"projectUrl":"project/seeds-of-peace-plant-today-grow-peac/9754896/","projectTitle":"Seeds of Peace – “Plant today, Grow Peace Tomorrow.”","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Sandoval Chavez","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-9_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/7769936"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_82419","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":233,"numTeachers":28,"percentFrplEligible":71,"percentAsian":1,"percentBlack":2,"percentWhite":26,"percentIndigenous":12,"percentLatinx":51,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","percentHawaiianImputed":0,"percentMultiracialImputed":5,"gradesServed":"K - 5","studentTeacherRatio":"8.3:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"URBAN","ncesMetroType":"CITY_LARGE"},"inStateSupporters":56.9,"schoolId":82419,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Mitchell Elementary School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Mitchell Elementary School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/new-mexico/albuquerque-public-schools/mitchell-elementary-school/82419"}
