We keep binders, white boards, and clipboards in the seats. This allows students to quickly grab what they need without going in their desks. The seat sacks are all black with different color trim. Students chose their favorite color. There is a name spot where students keep their computer code and password for easy access. \r\n\r\nSeat sacks are touched all the time. Consequently, they are an item that needs replacing often. Students deserve something clean to use.

First up... the donut seating. Right now I have 2 donuts inflated and they are the first choice of students during reading time. They allow for a little wiggle, which 7 year old bodies need. \r\n\r\nNext up is the Scented Markers. It's amazing how just a scent marker with a smiley face on a paper can generate so much excitement. \"When you finish, I'll come check your work with a smelly marker!\" That gets most kids working immediately. \r\n\r\nThanks again for all your support.","fullyFundedDate":1749608153956,"projectUrl":"project/reluctant-readers-want-a-donut/9405422/","projectTitle":"Reluctant Readers, Want a Donut?","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. E","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-1_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/6135501"},{"teacherId":6135501,"projectId":9405357,"letterContent":"The binder baskets are working like a charm. Each student has a basket to store their books. The books are in better shape because they aren't crammed into the seat or desk. Students use these baskets daily to read around the room. There is a spot on each for a label, so students can easily identify the correct basket. \r\n\r\nIn addition, we already used the construction paper. Students picked their favorite color to mount a poster about themselves. They are displayed in the classroom. I can see how having this pack of paper available will allow for more creativity in publishing their writing. \r\nThanks!","fullyFundedDate":1749631632823,"projectUrl":"project/better-than-dollar-store-baskets/9405357/","projectTitle":"Better than Dollar Store Baskets","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. E","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-1_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/6135501"},{"teacherId":6135501,"projectId":9402980,"letterContent":"3 of my students did not have headphones this year. I was able to have them use from the class set you purchased. This allowed them to do all of the required computer exams at the same time as their peers. Just this week a students broke his headphones. He was afraid to bring them home because he thought his parents would be mad. I was able to have him use a headphone from class and not have to worry. \r\n\r\nMagnet tiles have been a huge hit. Instead of playing on computers, my students are building castles and geometric solids. The classroom is lively and full of learning.

Students in my classroom have enjoyed looking at the fish, naming the fish, and telling me when the fish are dead students from other classrooms are using it as a special reward to motivate their behavior. I often see a little one outside the room with his tutor, taking a break watching the fish.\r\n\r\nThe other thing that has been very useful are the magnetic shapes. This has enabled students to hold and move 3-D and 2-D objects. It has increased their ability to name the shapes. It also aided in their understanding of fractions.","fullyFundedDate":1734326536853,"projectUrl":"project/the-value-of-tools/9003030/","projectTitle":"The Value of Tools!","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. E","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-1_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/6135501"},{"teacherId":6135501,"projectId":8017171,"letterContent":"The playground equipment made recess more fun and manageable. I still have supplies leftover to start next school year with recess balls. The students enjoyed the different colors and had favorites. Two boys always chose an oversized ball. Kicking the larger ball made their soccer skills seem amazing!\r\n\r\nThe pencil sharpener is fast and makes sharpening 5 pencils for 20 kids much more manageable. It has held up and works effectively. \r\n\r\nLastly, these fine tip expo markers help kids to write smaller and solve math equations on their white boards.","fullyFundedDate":1699807438956,"projectUrl":"project/odds-and-ends-for-outside-too/8017171/","projectTitle":"Odds and Ends for Outside Too","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. E","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-1_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/6135501"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_43445","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":393,"numTeachers":29,"percentFrplEligible":71,"percentAsian":3,"percentBlack":3,"percentWhite":22,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":66,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"K - 3","studentTeacherRatio":"13.6:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"URBAN","ncesMetroType":"CITY_SMALL"},"inStateSupporters":74.6,"schoolId":43445,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about King Street Primary School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"King Street Primary School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/connecticut/danbury-public-schools/king-street-primary-school/43445"}
