The kindness and compassion that you\r\nhave shown my students is unmeasured, and certainly appreciated.\r\nThrough this project, my kindergarten classroom received ten flexible seating balls,\r\ntwenty busy bands, and two flexible seating desk areas. Each of these components\r\nhas made a positive and great impact in our classroom. The seating balls have\r\nallowed for students to use mobility, while also completing their tasks and\r\nassignments, at their tables. This has shown a decrease in students wanting to move\r\nout of their seats, and has allowed for better focus, especially during small group\r\ntime. The busy bands have been impactful, as they have allowed for students to\r\nbounce their feet, as a way to aid them in remaining focused and on task, while\r\nalso completing seat work in the classroom. Lastly, the flexible seating desks have\r\nbeen a wonderful resource, as it allows for students to take a break from the tables,\r\nand to have their own space, while also remaining on task and diligent in their\r\nwork.\r\nI could not express my gratitude and appreciation enough for the wonderful gift of\r\nyour donations. These flexible seating options have provided us with additional\r\nopportunities to meet students where they are, which is essential is students not\r\nonly being successful, but also in feeling seen.","fullyFundedDate":1758725338226,"projectUrl":"project/flexible-seating-for-kindergarten-minds/9734866/","projectTitle":"Flexible Seating For Kindergarten Minds!","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Hudson","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-10_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/10271278"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_122297","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":603,"numTeachers":null,"percentFrplEligible":95,"percentAsian":0,"percentBlack":36,"percentWhite":49,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":6,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","percentHawaiianImputed":0,"percentMultiracialImputed":7,"gradesServed":"K - 9","studentTeacherRatio":null,"demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"URBAN","ncesMetroType":"RURAL_FRINGE"},"inStateSupporters":71.1,"schoolId":122297,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Virtus Academy of South Carolina on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Virtus Academy of South Carolina","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/south-carolina/south-carolina-department-of-education/virtus-academy-of-south-carolina/122297"}
