This bike has made a real difference for students who struggle to sit still during instruction and independent work time.\r\n\r\nRather than constantly redirecting these students or having them miss out on learning because they're up and moving around the room, they now have a healthy, productive outlet built right into their school day. Pedaling quietly at the desk lets them release energy while staying focused on their work — I've noticed improved attention during lessons and less disruption for the rest of the class.\r\n\r\nStudents, who used to struggle to complete more than a few minutes of independent work without getting up, have been able to stay engaged for much longer stretches while using the bike. It's given them a sense of control over their own bodies and learning, which has been wonderful to watch.\r\n\r\nThis simple tool has helped create a calmer, more inclusive classroom where all my students — no matter how they learn best — have what they need to succeed.

Before this project, many of my students were sharing worn, outdated copies or reading from photocopied excerpts, which made it hard for them to fully engage with the story or follow along during discussions.\r\n\r\nHaving individual books has transformed our reading time. Students can now underline favorite passages, jot notes in the margins, and easily flip back to reread key moments — skills that are building their confidence as active readers. Our class discussions about friendship, loyalty, and the courage it takes to stand up for others have become richer, because every student can point to specific lines in the text to support their thinking.\r\n\r\nI've especially noticed a shift in my reluctant readers. Several students who typically resist independent reading time have asked to take their books home to keep reading ahead — something I rarely saw before. E.B. White's story of an unlikely friendship between a pig and a spider is resonating deeply with these 10- and 11-year-olds, sparking real conversations about kindness and what it means to be a true friend.\r\n\r\nThank you for investing in my classroom. Because of you, my students aren't just reading a story — they're falling in love with reading itself.","fullyFundedDate":1778262225057,"projectUrl":"project/boosting-focus-with-a-bike-desk/10180691/","projectTitle":"Boosting Focus With A Bike Desk","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Noller","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp4397062_orig.jpg?crop=2400,2400,x0,y240&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1746585617913","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/noller"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_57346","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":285,"numTeachers":32,"percentFrplEligible":86,"percentAsian":2,"percentBlack":2,"percentWhite":52,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":22,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","percentHawaiianImputed":0,"percentMultiracialImputed":19,"gradesServed":"K - 5","studentTeacherRatio":"8.9:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"TOWN","ncesMetroType":"TOWN_REMOTE"},"inStateSupporters":57.1,"schoolId":57346,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Oakdale Elementary School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Oakdale Elementary School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/kansas/salina-unified-school-district-305/oakdale-elementary-school/57346"}
