The students absolutely loved them and were thrilled when they saw them arrive in my room. Some of my Drama Club students even helped unpackage them and get them set up for use! Though there's still quite a ways to go to help make my classroom truly my own, the tiny splash of beanbags made a huge difference in helping my students feel comfortable and welcome within. \r\n\r\nStudents have been doing a really great job sharing this resource with others, so no one is left out. I know it especially helps out my students with ADHD who have a difficult time sitting still in the normal seats that we use, and it's been wonderful to see them take a seat in a bag instead and focus better on their work. It especially makes a difference when it's time to read in class and they have a comfy option in which to do so. Though next year we will finally have enough books for the students to take them home (we didn't this year!), that just means we will finally be able to include SSR, which means comfy reading time in the beanbags will be staying. \r\n\r\nAgain, thank you so much for donating. My classroom feels more my own, and my students look forward to getting their chance with a beanbag.","fullyFundedDate":1768526561466,"projectUrl":"project/bean-bags-for-english-class/9849413/","projectTitle":"Bean Bags for English Class","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Booker","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp10324956_orig.jpg?crop=4000,4000,x0,y0&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1761059811169","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/10324956"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_27314","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":230,"numTeachers":19,"percentFrplEligible":74,"percentAsian":0,"percentBlack":3,"percentWhite":81,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":12,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"9 - 12","studentTeacherRatio":"12.1:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":false,"metroType":"RURAL","ncesMetroType":"RURAL_DISTANT"},"inStateSupporters":98.0,"schoolId":27314,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Indian Creek High School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Indian Creek High School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/illinois/indian-creek-community-unit-school-district-425/indian-creek-high-school/27314"}
