We immediately put everything to use during morning meeting and small-group rotations, and the difference in student engagement was noticeable from day one.\r\n\r\nMy students reacted with so much joy the first time they saw the materials. Many of them said things like, \"It feels like a real classroom now!\" and \"I actually want to sit on the floor!\" The new seating options have already helped students who need flexible, calming spaces to stay focused and participate more confidently.\r\n\r\nBecause of your generosity, our classroom feels more inviting, safe, and student-centered. Your contribution gave my students a space that supports collaboration, independent reading, and hands-on learning without distraction. Our next steps include using these materials to launch group projects, STEM challenges, and literacy stations throughout the year. Thank you for investing directly in my students—you helped transform our classroom environment in such a meaningful way.","fullyFundedDate":1759248228956,"projectUrl":"project/creating-a-comfortable-classroom-without/9773586/","projectTitle":"Creating a Comfortable Classroom Without a Carpet","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Demps","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp9619223_orig.jpg?crop=4023,4024,x0,y0&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1759172882150","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9619223"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_34657","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":332,"numTeachers":35,"percentFrplEligible":40,"percentAsian":2,"percentBlack":7,"percentWhite":48,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":39,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"Pre-K - 5","studentTeacherRatio":"9.5:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":false,"titleOne":false,"metroType":"URBAN","ncesMetroType":"CITY_MIDSIZE"},"inStateSupporters":72.7,"schoolId":34657,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about George Mason Elementary School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"George Mason Elementary School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/virginia/alexandria-city-public-school-district/george-mason-elementary-school/34657"}
