The colored printer has become an item in our classroom that is used multiple times a day for various reasons. Our stations have come to life with colored games , and colored menu signs. Our end of unit projects have captured our audiences attention with their vibrant colors. When students are struggling with comprehension of one of our readings the colored printer helps us to create a story board to better understand the elements of the story and sequence of events. I know that as the year goes on the colored printer will continue to help us create a successful environment for all. As for our chair - oh our reading chair. Truly my students in fourth grade came to really struggling with decoding and comprehension. Through these few years together they've gained a love of reading asking questions like \"what new books are in our library now? Can we have independent reading everyday?\" Well the chair has just added to that love. Students say \"did I earn the comfy chair today for reading? Can everyone have a turn with the comfy chair? I love reading here !\" I mean... who doesn't love to cuddle up with a good book right ? You have helped make such a difference in my classroom! Words cannot express how thankful we are !","fullyFundedDate":1758899057459,"projectUrl":"project/color-our-world/9635092/","projectTitle":"Color Our World!","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Lehman","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/272x272/tp3938813_272x272.jpg?width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1478625928015","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/readingsuperpower"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_981","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":636,"numTeachers":51,"percentFrplEligible":30,"percentAsian":1,"percentBlack":2,"percentWhite":76,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":15,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"Pre-K - 8","studentTeacherRatio":"12.5:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":false,"titleOne":false,"metroType":"URBAN","ncesMetroType":"CITY_LARGE"},"inStateSupporters":86.6,"schoolId":981,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about PS/MS 114 Belle Harbor on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"PS/MS 114 Belle Harbor","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/new-york/new-york-city-dept-of-ed/ps-114-belle-harbor/981"}
