They are very wiggly students and the yoga ball seats and wobble seats help with the students staying focused. The students use them as a reward when they have good behavior so it's a wonderful incentive for them. They really look forward to trying to earn the yoga chairs. The wobble seats are used during my work time table when I pull students over to work on different assignments with me and things they need to improve on. The timer is extremely handy to know when to move to stations and how long they have to do the tasks they need to get done.","fullyFundedDate":1735490989735,"projectUrl":"project/flexible-seats-and-timer-to-keep-class-o/8768940/","projectTitle":"Flexible seats and timer to keep class on task","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Willson","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp9532220_orig.jpg?crop=1:1,smart&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1715090342953","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9532220"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_76197","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":448,"numTeachers":18,"percentFrplEligible":25,"percentAsian":0,"percentBlack":0,"percentWhite":93,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":2,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"K - 5","studentTeacherRatio":"24.9:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":false,"titleOne":false,"metroType":"SUBURBAN","ncesMetroType":"SUBURB_MIDSIZE"},"inStateSupporters":100.0,"schoolId":76197,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Homecroft Elementary School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Homecroft Elementary School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/minnesota/duluth-independent-school-district-709/homecroft-elementary-school/76197"}
