During our recent group projects, the bean bags became the perfect seating for brainstorming sessions. Students gathered in small teams to collaborate, and the relaxed atmosphere helped foster creative thinking. One particular moment that stands out was when we were working on a science project where students had to design an eco-friendly city. The bean bags allowed them to think outside the box as they sat in clusters, bouncing ideas off one another while sketching their designs on large poster boards. The comfort of the bean bags made them more at ease, which led to a more productive and interactive session.\r\n\r\nWhen the students first saw the bean bags, their reactions were full of excitement and joy. It was as if a whole new world of possibilities opened up in the classroom! Some students immediately claimed their favorite spots, while others couldn't stop smiling, eager to sit down and get to work. It was heartwarming to see how these simple but thoughtful donations brought so much enthusiasm and comfort to my students. As for the next steps, we are continuing with the eco-city project, where students will now begin to create digital presentations of their designs. The bean bags have provided a space for students to not only relax but also dive deeper into the creative aspects of this lesson, and I can't wait to see the final projects come to life!","fullyFundedDate":1737134127503,"projectUrl":"project/flexible-seating-for-special-education-s/9062284/","projectTitle":"Flexible Seating for Special Education Students","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Candelaria","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp9374011_orig.jpg?crop=1:1,smart&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1730290100572","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9374011"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_82885","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":1035,"numTeachers":48,"percentFrplEligible":84,"percentAsian":0,"percentBlack":1,"percentWhite":17,"percentIndigenous":2,"percentLatinx":77,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"9 - 12","studentTeacherRatio":"21.6:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"SUBURBAN","ncesMetroType":"SUBURB_SMALL"},"inStateSupporters":67.4,"schoolId":82885,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Belen High School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Belen High School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/new-mexico/belen-con-school-district/belen-high-school/82885"}
