The students absolutely love them! With a student population of about 400 and class size up to 29 the addition of the bean bag chairs really made a difference!! It has added much needed additional space for the students to dive deep into a good book! The muted colors enhance the overall tone that I have set for the library. A large majority of the students come to library immediately following lunch/ recess, where they are hot and sweaty. So the library is a place to unwind, relax and clear your mind while the book takes you places!!","fullyFundedDate":1750200211571,"projectUrl":"project/reading-takes-you-places/9142469/","projectTitle":"Reading Takes You Places!","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Fitzgerald","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-5_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9935529"},{"teacherId":9703551,"projectId":8784598,"letterContent":"Numismatic donations have significantly enhanced students' learning experiences by offering a tangible connection to the past and enriching their understanding of United States geography. Coins, from different states and time periods, allow students to visually and physically explore the history of the nation. By examining coins from various regions, students are able to study the historical significance of different states, learning not only about the geography but also the culture, economy, and symbolism tied to each coin's design. This hands-on approach gives students a more immersive and memorable way to connect with the subject matter.\r\n\r\nAdditionally, coin loupes donated for student use have provided an invaluable tool for studying coins in greater detail. These magnifying tools allow students to explore the intricate designs and markings on coins from different historical periods, fostering a deeper understanding of history and numismatics. By analyzing the condition, material, and artwork of various coins, students gain insights into the technological advancements, artistic movements, and economic changes of the times they represent. These resources, combined with the geographical focus of numismatics, have helped create a more meaningful and engaging learning experience, encouraging curiosity and hands-on exploration in ways that traditional textbooks alone cannot.","fullyFundedDate":1733275528393,"projectUrl":"project/numismatics-in-the-classroom/8784598/","projectTitle":"Numismatics in the Classroom","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Emerson","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp9703551_orig.jpg?crop=1:1,smart&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1724542012981","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9703551"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_22605","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":347,"numTeachers":31,"percentFrplEligible":64,"percentAsian":10,"percentBlack":7,"percentWhite":43,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":35,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"K - 5","studentTeacherRatio":"11.2:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"SUBURBAN","ncesMetroType":"SUBURB_LARGE"},"inStateSupporters":60.9,"schoolId":22605,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Stagecoach Elementary School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Stagecoach Elementary School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/new-york/middle-country-central-school-district/stagecoach-elementary-school/22605"}
