My students enjoyed playing with it as they try to throw the ball to the hoop. The Lake Shore Letter Recognition Learning center keep our centers busy as they learn each letters and sound during our centers activity.

The Visual schedule keep my students informed of the activity for the day. We use it to discuss the schedule during circle time.

They were so excited to have multiple seating options and it definitely helped create a space for students who had different needs for seating choices. Students need to have safe options to feel some control and also to be able to wiggle without being out of their seats. \r\n\r\nThe class had a great time using the social emotional books and cubes to open up conversations in a more natural way. They helped create relatability within a group and build up relationships for all of us as a group and also smaller groups of students. \r\n\r\nLastly, thank you for the small stuff that helps keep the classroom running smoothly. Folders, lamination packets, and storage spaces are not as exciting to students as the wobble stools but for my sanity and keeping the class organized, it was so amazing to have! The file folders are so multi-use and I am buying more for next year to continue the growth! The kids did love having their own \"mailboxes\" for returned assignments.","fullyFundedDate":1715316413844,"projectUrl":"project/building-a-better-environment-one-calmi/8346422/","projectTitle":"Building a Better Environment, One Calming Seat at a Time","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Weaks","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-3_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9349024"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_32156","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":782,"numTeachers":36,"percentFrplEligible":95,"percentAsian":4,"percentBlack":37,"percentWhite":9,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":36,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"Pre-K - 5","studentTeacherRatio":"21.7:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"URBAN","ncesMetroType":"CITY_LARGE"},"inStateSupporters":44.5,"schoolId":32156,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Don E Hayden Elementary School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Don E Hayden Elementary School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/nevada/clark-county-school-district/don-e-hayden-elementary-school/32156"}
