One of the biggest hits has been the jellyfish lamp. My students are fascinated by it, and it has become a calming centerpiece in our classroom. During independent reading time, they often glance at it and whisper how much they love the cozy glow. The entire classroom environment feels more comfortable and welcoming now, which has made a big difference in helping students feel relaxed and ready to learn.\r\n\r\nWhen my students first saw the new items, their reactions were priceless. They gasped, smiled, and some even clapped their hands in excitement. One student said, \"It feels like home in here now!\" That kind of joy was such a wonderful moment to witness.\r\n\r\nAs we move forward, these resources will continue to support our daily lessons by giving students a calm, focused space where they can do their best learning. Whether we're working on writing stories, practicing math, or exploring new books, the cozy environment helps students feel safe and confident. I know these materials will have a lasting impact on their school year.","fullyFundedDate":1746786300218,"projectUrl":"project/sensory-cool-down-classroom/9327327/","projectTitle":"Sensory Cool-Down Classroom!","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Gadberry","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-6_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/7530030"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_133827","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":500,"numTeachers":null,"percentFrplEligible":74,"percentAsian":2,"percentBlack":3,"percentWhite":11,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":80,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"Pre-K - 5","studentTeacherRatio":null,"demographicsDataSource":"MDR District Record","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":false,"metroType":"URBAN","ncesMetroType":null},"inStateSupporters":20.0,"schoolId":133827,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Creekside Elementary School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Creekside Elementary School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/texas/corpus-christi-independent-school-district/creekside-elementary-school/133827"}
