Students have earned points to be able to use alternative seating options. This has made them coveted items that are well-used and maintained. They are a source of pride, which has been wonderful to see.\r\n\r\nThank you so much for your generosity.

The project requires students to analyze and graph their weather tracking data.\r\n\r\nHeadphones: Students who need deep focus can utilize the headphones to create a quiet, distraction-free zone, allowing them to concentrate on complex data analysis and organization.\r\n\r\nFlexible Seating: The different seating options allow students to choose the environment that best supports their learning style—whether they need to collaborate on a wobble stool or work individually on a comfy floor cushion. This choice has led to higher engagement and better quality work.\r\n\r\nStudent Reactions\r\nThe students' reaction was pure joy! When they first saw the materials, they immediately started trying out the different chairs and cushions, calling them \"comfy\" and \"super cool.\" The quiet focus the headphones provide has been a huge hit for independent work time.","fullyFundedDate":1757568295914,"projectUrl":"project/flexible-seating/9661216/","projectTitle":"Flexible Seating","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Hamilton","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-4_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/8883106"},{"teacherId":2057916,"projectId":9599550,"letterContent":"Thank you for your generous gift of Roller Coaster Challenge Kits for our second through fifth grade students.

In the design phase, students will learn about physics - force and motion and put that knowledge to the test when designing their roller coaster.\r\n\r\nDuring the design phase, students will have to work together to put their ideas into practice. This is an amazing opportunity to build Social Emotional Learning (SEL) skills. Students will have to both communicate and listen to others to come up with the best design and then build that design.The next stage is for student teams to test their designs. Here they will see what works and what didn't work. From that information, they can adapt and change their design and building strategies. This hands-on activity reflects so many opportunities in education and work - coming up with a plan, communicating that plan and implementation. This is a true opportunity for students to learn and grow. Thank you for this opportunity for our students.","fullyFundedDate":1755721450885,"projectUrl":"project/roller-coaster-challenge/9599550/","projectTitle":"Roller Coaster Challenge","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Grey-Levine","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp2057916_orig.jpg?width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1691024241364","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/2057916"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_60887","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":335,"numTeachers":31,"percentFrplEligible":36,"percentAsian":11,"percentBlack":3,"percentWhite":42,"percentIndigenous":9,"percentLatinx":7,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","percentHawaiianImputed":8,"percentMultiracialImputed":16,"gradesServed":"Pre-K - 5","studentTeacherRatio":"10.8:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":false,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"URBAN","ncesMetroType":"CITY_LARGE"},"inStateSupporters":40.6,"schoolId":60887,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Rogers Park Elementary School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Rogers Park Elementary School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/alaska/anchorage-school-district/rogers-park-elementary-school/60887"}
