Your donation has truly made a difference in our daily learning environment, and I'm excited to share the impact it's already had on my students.\r\n\r\nFrom the moment the wiggle chairs arrived, the energy in our classroom shifted — in the best way! The students were thrilled to try them out. You could see the excitement in their eyes as they realized these special chairs were just for them. Some even asked, \"Do we really get to use these every day?\" The answer, of course, was a very happy \"Yes!\"\r\n\r\nThese chairs have become a key part of our learning routine. Students who previously struggled to stay focused during lessons now have the movement and flexibility they need to stay engaged. One memorable moment was during a recent group reading project. Students rotated through reading stations, and those seated on the wiggle chairs remained more focused and attentive — they were participating more, fidgeting less, and truly enjoying the process. It's amazing what a little movement can do for young minds!\r\n\r\nLooking ahead, we're currently working on a writing unit where students are crafting their own short stories. The wiggle chairs are playing a big part in creating a calm, focused environment where students can brainstorm and write with more ease. For some of my more energetic learners, these chairs are the difference between distraction and creativity.\r\n\r\nThank you again for being a part of our classroom journey. Your kindness has created a space where every student can feel comfortable, supported, and ready to learn. We are so grateful!","fullyFundedDate":1748204790788,"projectUrl":"project/wiggle-while-reading/9300606/","projectTitle":"Wiggle While Reading","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Buntrock","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp4054784_orig.jpg?crop=362,362,x0,y0&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1697238085158","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/4054784"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_38520","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":426,"numTeachers":28,"percentFrplEligible":18,"percentAsian":15,"percentBlack":3,"percentWhite":69,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":6,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"K - 4","studentTeacherRatio":"15.2:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":false,"titleOne":false,"metroType":"SUBURBAN","ncesMetroType":"SUBURB_LARGE"},"inStateSupporters":90.6,"schoolId":38520,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Maple Ave Elementary School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Maple Ave Elementary School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/wisconsin/hamilton-school-district/maple-ave-elementary-school/38520"}
