It has been especially helpful for children who need a quiet break from the classroom— they can put on their headphones, take a moment for themselves, and enjoy a story. The Toniebox has also sparked their excitement for reading. They love discovering which new story is waiting for them each day, and I'm able to record our story of the week so they can revisit it independently. It's been wonderful to see how engaged and enthusiastic they are because of this resource.","fullyFundedDate":1757460485581,"projectUrl":"project/read-to-my-prek-students/9691160/","projectTitle":"Read to my prek students!","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Dechant","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp9235348_orig.jpg?crop=1:1,smart&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1696099200092","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9235348"},{"teacherId":3667051,"projectId":8582168,"letterContent":"Words cannot fully express the depth of our gratitude for your incredible generosity in supporting our classroom. Thanks to your contributions, we've been able to purchase a much-needed speaker and create a more dynamic and engaging learning environment with a new flexible seating option. Your kindness has made a tangible difference in the lives of my students, and I want to take this opportunity to share with you the impact of your gift.\r\nThe new speaker has also enriched our classroom culture in ways we hadn't fully anticipated. One of the most significant benefits has been the ability to incorporate music into our daily routine. We've discovered that playing calming instrumental music or even upbeat, educational songs during work time significantly improves the classroom atmosphere. It helps students focus, reduces anxiety, and creates a more relaxed and positive learning environment. It also provides a subtle background hum that helps to minimize distractions and create a more productive workspace. \r\nYour generosity also extended to the purchase of a flexible seating option, which has been truly transformative. Traditional seating limited movement and collaboration. This flexibility allows students to choose the seating arrangement that best suits their individual learning styles and preferences. The new cushion was a nice addition. \r\nOn behalf of my students and myself, I extend my sincerest gratitude for your generous support.","fullyFundedDate":1731948754049,"projectUrl":"project/flexible-seating/8582168/","projectTitle":"Flexible Seating","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Linkenauger","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/272x272/tp3667051_272x272.jpg?width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1470259897588","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/linkenauger5"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_41906","uses�ǿմ�ý":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":346,"numTeachers":23,"percentFrplEligible":57,"percentAsian":9,"percentBlack":0,"percentWhite":40,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":46,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"K - 6","studentTeacherRatio":"15.0:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":false,"metroType":"SUBURBAN","ncesMetroType":"SUBURB_LARGE"},"inStateSupporters":73.3,"schoolId":41906,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Patterson International Elementary School on @�ǿմ�ý:","schoolName":"Patterson International Elementary School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/colorado/jefferson-county-school-district-r-1/patterson-int-l-elementary-school/41906"}
