The new Lemony Snicket books have captured their imaginations and made reading time something they look forward to every day. These stories have helped us explore skills like identifying cause and effect, making predictions, and analyzing how characters respond to challenges—all while keeping students completely engaged.\r\n\r\nReading in our classroom now feels comfortable and exciting. With the new cushions, students can cozy up anywhere in the room—on the floor, by the window, or in a quiet corner—and lose themselves in a good book. The flexible seating has created a calm, inviting atmosphere where everyone can focus and enjoy reading in their own way.\r\n\r\nSome of my students who used to struggle with sitting still or staying focused during reading time are now the first to grab a book and find their favorite spot. It's amazing to see how something as simple as comfort and choice has helped them develop a genuine love for reading.\r\n\r\nThanks to your support, our classroom has become a place where stories come alive and every student feels like a reader.","fullyFundedDate":1760657914913,"projectUrl":"project/books-items-for-indoor-recess/9686755/","projectTitle":"Books & Items for Indoor Recess","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Coats","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp10243278_orig.jpg?crop=1:1,smart&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1757287776778","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/10243278"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_128514","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":442,"numTeachers":null,"percentFrplEligible":92,"percentAsian":0,"percentBlack":31,"percentWhite":26,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":24,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"Pre-K - 4","studentTeacherRatio":null,"demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"SUBURBAN","ncesMetroType":"SUBURB_MIDSIZE"},"inStateSupporters":87.0,"schoolId":128514,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Hamilton Elementary School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Hamilton Elementary School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/ohio/elyria-city-school-district/hamilton-elementary-school/128514"}
