With options like wobble stools, floor cushions, and standing desks, students are now able to choose the seating that helps them focus best. For example, during our recent reading workshop, I noticed students spreading out across the room—some reclining on floor cushions with their books, others using wobble stools at desks to stay energized. The flexible seating has created a comfortable and adaptable environment that fosters focus, collaboration, and independence.\r\n\r\nWhen the new seating options were unveiled, the students were absolutely thrilled! Their faces lit up as they explored each choice, and I heard excited remarks like, \"I can't believe we have these now!\" and \"Can I try the saucer chair today?\" It was heartwarming to see them so enthusiastic and eager to make the space their own. Many students quickly discovered which seating options worked best for them, and they expressed how much easier it was to concentrate and feel comfortable while learning.\r\n\r\nLooking ahead, we're beginning a group project where students will work in teams to create presentations on ecosystems. The flexible seating will allow them to collaborate more effectively, whether they're brainstorming at a standing desk or reviewing research while seated on floor cushions. These new seating options are helping my students take ownership of their learning environment, and I'm so grateful to our donors for making this transformation possible. It's a gift that will benefit them every single day!","fullyFundedDate":1723468174241,"projectUrl":"project/saucer-chairs-for-saucy-lessons/8557596/","projectTitle":"Saucer Chairs for Saucy Lessons","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Nials","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp8939791_orig.jpg?crop=915,915,x0,y0&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1674666209809","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/8939791"},{"teacherId":8939791,"projectId":8331916,"letterContent":"The new activities we purchased through Teachers Pay Teachers have completely reinvigorated our classroom lessons and sparked student engagement.

One of the most memorable projects so far has been creating \"Story Maps,\" where students visually outline their favorite books using colorful drawings and annotations. The abundance of paper allowed each student to take their time crafting detailed, creative maps without worrying about running out of materials. It was incredible to see their ideas come to life, and these maps now proudly line our classroom walls, celebrating their hard work and creativity.\r\n\r\nWhen the supplies first arrived, the students were ecstatic. The sight of colorful paper, notebooks, and fresh stacks of materials made them light up with excitement. Some students immediately started brainstorming how they could use the new resources, and others shared their gratitude, saying things like, \"We can make so much cool stuff now!\" It was a heartwarming moment that underscored how impactful even simple resources can be.\r\n\r\nLooking ahead, we are embarking on a project to create a classroom newspaper. Students will collaborate to write articles, design layouts, and illustrate stories, using the donated supplies to bring the project to life. This activity will not only build their writing and critical thinking skills but also teach teamwork and responsibility. We're so grateful for the generosity of our donors, as these materials are enabling opportunities for creativity and learning that were previously out of reach.","fullyFundedDate":1714625149639,"projectUrl":"project/paper-and-pen-the-perfect-match/8272748/","projectTitle":"Paper and Pen: the Perfect Match","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Nials","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp8939791_orig.jpg?crop=915,915,x0,y0&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1674666209809","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/8939791"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_82566","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":386,"numTeachers":25,"percentFrplEligible":94,"percentAsian":0,"percentBlack":0,"percentWhite":2,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":97,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"9 - 12","studentTeacherRatio":"15.4:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"RURAL","ncesMetroType":"RURAL_REMOTE"},"inStateSupporters":46.7,"schoolId":82566,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Hatch Valley High School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Hatch Valley High School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/new-mexico/hatch-valley-public-school-district/hatch-valley-high-school/82566"}
