With 190 students benefiting from this resource, we are creating learning environments that better support student focus, engagement, and individual learning needs. Students can stand while completing assignments, working through challenging problems, or participating in collaborative activities. Having the option to change positions helps students feel more comfortable and ready to learn, allowing them to better direct their energy toward the task at hand.\r\n\r\nWhen students first saw the standing desks, they were excited to try something new! The desks quickly became a welcome addition to our classrooms, giving students more choice in how they participate in their learning. Teachers have been able to incorporate the desks into daily lessons, from independent reading and writing to math problem-solving and small-group collaboration. It has been wonderful to see students take ownership of their learning environment and discover what helps them stay engaged and productive throughout the school day.\r\n\r\nNext, students will continue using the standing desks as they tackle grade-level assignments, collaborate with peers, and demonstrate their understanding of new concepts. Whether they are working through multi-step math problems, developing written responses, or engaging in group projects, these desks provide another way to support their success. We are incredibly grateful to our donors for helping us provide resources that make a meaningful difference for our students. Your generosity has positively impacted 190 learners and helped us create more flexible, engaging classrooms where students have additional opportunities to thrive!","fullyFundedDate":1772224868310,"projectUrl":"project/wiggle-while-i-work/9876338/","projectTitle":"Wiggle While I Work","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Abraham","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-3_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/lora-abraham"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_134699","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":null,"numTeachers":null,"percentFrplEligible":83,"percentAsian":8,"percentBlack":5,"percentWhite":40,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":35,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","percentHawaiianImputed":0,"percentMultiracialImputed":6,"gradesServed":"K - 3","studentTeacherRatio":null,"demographicsDataSource":"MDR District Record","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":false,"metroType":"UNCLASSIFIED","ncesMetroType":null},"inStateSupporters":50.0,"schoolId":134699,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Kidinnu Academy - South on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Kidinnu Academy - South","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/california/cajon-valley-union-school-district/kidinnu-academy-south/134699"}
