Before this project our classroom printer could only print black and white, which made it hard to bring lessons to life.Now we can create beautiful anchor charts, visual aides and learning materials that make concepts easier to understand and far more engaging. My students light up when they see their work printed in full color. It gives them a sense of pride and ownership that inspires them to do their best. I also wanted to point out that visual learners benefit from bright colors and clear images and graphic organizers.

The students' artwork reflected thoughtful expression, imagination, and a genuine appreciation for the diverse world we share. It was moving to see the student's parents and their friends walk through the halls and see their loved one's creativity displayed for all to see!\r\n\r\nEvents like these remind us of the importance of nurturing both artistic expression and inclusivity in our schools.

Thank you! Thank you! My students were so excited when I was unpacking them. My students loved the cozy chairs in their library. For the few days they were able to use it-I saw how important it was to them. They were able to share the seating, they were excited about the books and were ready to dive into it while utilizing their cozy corner.\r\n\r\nThey were engaging with each other or trying to as I have bilingual students in my classroom. Unfortunately, at the moment we are currently not utilizing the cozy chairs as I had to combine my class with another teacher, and I moved to her room. Currently, I'm in an ICT classroom. I'm hoping to utilize the cozy chairs once I return to my classroom. However, from my classroom to you and your family I would like to say a special thank you again for your contribution to make my students' lives' more excitable for reading.","fullyFundedDate":1725547479384,"projectUrl":"project/getting-comfy-for-reading-improving-cr/8639445/","projectTitle":"Getting Comfy for Reading & Improving Critical Thinking Skills","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Ramrattan","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-8_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9371415"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_102905","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":295,"numTeachers":26,"percentFrplEligible":95,"percentAsian":0,"percentBlack":46,"percentWhite":1,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":48,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"K - 5","studentTeacherRatio":"11.3:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"URBAN","ncesMetroType":"CITY_LARGE"},"inStateSupporters":77.3,"schoolId":102905,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Christopher Ave Community School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Christopher Ave Community School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/new-york/new-york-city-dept-of-ed/christopher-ave-community-school/102905"}
