Because of you, our students now have new books to grow their love of reading, snacks to keep their bodies fueled and ready to learn, flexible seating options that provide a comfortable and welcoming learning environment, and even a drum that brings an extra layer of excitement and energy to our day. These resources have truly transformed the atmosphere of our classroom.\r\n\r\nWe are using the books during independent reading time, and small group instruction. Students are more engaged and eager to dive into the \"I Survived Series\". The flexible seating has allowed students to choose learning spaces that help them focus best—whether that's sitting on the bean bag charging a laptop or laying on the oversized rug enjoying some reading time. The snacks have also made a meaningful difference, helping students stay energized and focused, especially during long afternoons. And the drum has quickly become a classroom favorite! We use it to celebrate accomplishments, build excitement before transitions, and create fun call-and-response moments that strengthen our classroom community. When the students first saw everything, they were amazed and full of gratitude. Their smiles and cheers filled the room!\r\n\r\nAs we move forward, we will continue incorporating these resources into both our academic lessons and our classroom culture. The flexible seating and positive classroom energy are helping students feel safe, comfortable, and motivated to take risks in their learning. Your generosity has not only provided supplies, but it has created joy, comfort, and opportunity. We are so thankful for your support and for believing in our students.","fullyFundedDate":1760693770388,"projectUrl":"project/building-creativity-and-interaction/9720178/","projectTitle":"Building Creativity and Interaction!","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Larce","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-7_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/8177533"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_8661","uses�ǿմ�ý":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":426,"numTeachers":12,"percentFrplEligible":95,"percentAsian":0,"percentBlack":95,"percentWhite":1,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":1,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"K - 5","studentTeacherRatio":"35.5:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"URBAN","ncesMetroType":"CITY_SMALL"},"inStateSupporters":45.5,"schoolId":8661,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Combre Fondel Elementary School on @�ǿմ�ý:","schoolName":"Combre Fondel Elementary School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/louisiana/calcasieu-parish-public-school/combre-fondell-elementary-school/8661"}
