Thanks to your support, my students now have access to wobble stools and bouncy reading donut seats that have made a world of difference in our classroom.\r\n\r\nSince the arrival of these incredible resources, my 19 second graders have been buzzing with excitement! The wobble stools have allowed many of my students, especially those who need sensory input, to stay engaged and focus during lessons. They love having the option to move while they work, which helps them concentrate for longer periods of time. The bouncy reading donut seats have also been a game-changer, providing comfort and support during independent reading time. It's wonderful to see how much more focused and comfortable my students feel with these seating options.\r\n\r\nOne of the most heartwarming moments was when the students first saw the new seating options. Their eyes lit up with excitement! They immediately wanted to try out all the different seats, and it was so rewarding to see how happy they were. They have truly embraced this new flexible way of learning.\r\n\r\nAs we continue with our lessons, these new seating arrangements will play a crucial role. Whether we're diving into a group project, engaging in independent reading, or working on problem-solving tasks, these tools will keep my students comfortable, engaged, and ready to learn.\r\n\r\nThank you again for your amazing support. You've made a lasting impact on my students' educational experience, and we are so lucky to have donors like you who believe in the power of flexible seating to enhance focus and comfort in the classroom.","fullyFundedDate":1736030590126,"projectUrl":"project/flexible-seating-for-19-2nd-graders-enh/9028551/","projectTitle":"Flexible Seating for 19 2nd Graders: Enhancing Focus & Comfort","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Shank","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp9599049_orig.jpg?crop=1440,1440,x0,y0&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1725734232656","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9599049"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_89285","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":479,"numTeachers":44,"percentFrplEligible":31,"percentAsian":3,"percentBlack":3,"percentWhite":79,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":7,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"K - 6","studentTeacherRatio":"10.9:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":false,"titleOne":false,"metroType":"RURAL","ncesMetroType":"SUBURB_LARGE"},"inStateSupporters":85.4,"schoolId":89285,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about East Coventry Elementary School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"East Coventry Elementary School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/pennsylvania/owen-j-roberts-school-district/east-coventry-elementary-school/89285"}
