My students could hardly contain their curiosity as we unpacked the wobble stools, magnetic manipulatives, and tiny animal erasers. Immediately, they were asking questions, exploring the new materials, and imagining how we might use them in our daily learning. Several students even offered to help set things up during recess—proof of how invested they were from the very beginning.\r\n\r\nThe wobble stools have been a game-changer for several of my students who struggle with sitting still or focusing for long periods. Now, they have the option to move while they work, and I've already noticed a positive difference in their engagement during small group reading and math instruction. The magnetic manipulatives have added a much-needed hands-on element to our lessons. During a recent science unit on magnetism, students were able to explore push-and-pull forces with real materials instead of just reading about them. They were so excited to \"see science in action,\" and their understanding of the concept deepened as a result.\r\n\r\nThanks to your generous support, we now have a more dynamic, student-centered classroom. These tools are helping us build not only academic skills but also a stronger, more inclusive classroom community. Thank you for making such a meaningful difference!","fullyFundedDate":1746785469173,"projectUrl":"project/tools-to-move-manipulate-and-motivate/9324884/","projectTitle":"Tools to Move, Manipulate, and Motivate","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Colon","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-8_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/8161614"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_130178","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":415,"numTeachers":null,"percentFrplEligible":49,"percentAsian":19,"percentBlack":4,"percentWhite":17,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":52,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"US Census Data for the surrounding geographic area","gradesServed":"Pre-K - 12","studentTeacherRatio":null,"demographicsDataSource":"Census ZCTA","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":false,"metroType":"URBAN","ncesMetroType":null},"inStateSupporters":87.2,"schoolId":130178,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about The Learning Choice Academy - Chula Vista on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"The Learning Choice Academy - Chula Vista","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/california/the-learning-choice-academy/the-learning-choice-academy-chula-vista/130178"}
