Thanks to you, we now have comfortable and supportive floor mats that have completely transformed how our students engage with this crucial part of our day. Before, many students struggled to maintain focus and comfort on the hard floor, leading to distractions and a less effective learning environment. Now, with the new mats, our students are noticeably more at ease and able to participate fully, setting a positive tone for the rest of their school day.\r\n\r\nThese mats have been instrumental in allowing us to practice our Responsive Classroom strategies more effectively. The increased comfort and stability mean that our students can spend extended periods on the floor, truly immersing themselves in activities like mindful breathing, group discussions, and shared greetings without discomfort. This enhanced engagement directly translates into better social-emotional learning, improved listening skills, and a stronger sense of community within our classroom. Your contribution has not only provided a physical comfort but has also created a more conducive and inclusive learning space where every student can thrive. Thank you for empowering our students and making such a tangible impact on their learning journey!","fullyFundedDate":1703774738142,"projectUrl":"project/mrs-steigers-flexible-seating-project/8015469/","projectTitle":"Mrs. Steiger's Flexible Seating Project","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Steiger","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-7_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9359592"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_22592","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":317,"numTeachers":35,"percentFrplEligible":52,"percentAsian":2,"percentBlack":5,"percentWhite":62,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":28,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"K - 5","studentTeacherRatio":"9.1:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":false,"metroType":"SUBURBAN","ncesMetroType":"SUBURB_LARGE"},"inStateSupporters":88.1,"schoolId":22592,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Alleghany Avenue Elementary School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Alleghany Avenue Elementary School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/new-york/lindenhurst-union-free-school-district/alleghany-avenue-elementary-school/22592"}
