We also received a fun wobble chair that gives students another seating option throughout the day.\r\n\r\nWhen the students first saw the materials, they were eager to try everything out, especially the wobble chair! It was wonderful to see them enjoying the new additions to our classroom.\r\n\r\nWe look forward to using these resources during daily reading and social studies lessons, small-group instruction, and collaborative activities.

Your generosity has allowed me to create an environment that feels less like a traditional classroom and more like a comfortable place where students can relax, feel safe, and enjoy learning. The soft lighting, cozy furnishings, and calming atmosphere have made our classroom a more inviting place to spend each day.\r\n\r\nOne of my goals with this project was to recognize that students need more than textbooks and supplies to be successful. They need an environment where they feel comfortable, valued, and supported. Our cozy classroom provides opportunities for students to complete group work, read a book, or just simply take a moment to reset when the day feels overwhelming. These small comforts can make a tremendous difference in helping students feel ready to learn. \r\n\r\nAs we continue through the school year, the resources will remain an important part of our daily routines, from morning circles on the carpet to independent work and collaboration on the bean bag chair. I want my students to remember our classroom as a place where they felt they belonged and where learning was something to look forward to. Thank you for helping me create that kind of space. Your kindness has made a lasting difference, and I am truly grateful for your investment in my students.","fullyFundedDate":1792591056025,"projectUrl":"project/creating-a-calm-and-cozy-classroom/10416976/","projectTitle":"Creating a Calm and Cozy Classroom","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Savery","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp1794046_orig.jpg?crop=2316,2316,x0,y0&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1785211025487","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/1794046"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_92766","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":224,"numTeachers":13,"percentFrplEligible":95,"percentAsian":0,"percentBlack":0,"percentWhite":93,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":5,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","percentHawaiianImputed":0,"percentMultiracialImputed":0,"gradesServed":"Pre-K - 6","studentTeacherRatio":"17.2:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"RURAL","ncesMetroType":"RURAL_DISTANT"},"inStateSupporters":70.0,"schoolId":92766,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Doe Elementary School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Doe Elementary School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/tennessee/johnson-county-school-district/doe-elementary-school/92766"}
