I have had such a wide variety of students and student needs in my classroom since I have started teaching. One of the biggest needs is to help kiddos who seem to have an endless amount of ants in their pants! They can't sit still for more than a few minutes. This results in them tipping in their chairs, seeking some sensory input. Seldom does a day go by where a kid isn't falling over in a chair. These wobble or wiggle seats have been so helpful. One of the brightest parts of my day is looking out when I give the students a problem to try to solve and they are focused on their work and rocking back and forth on these chairs! The students love them and we have had to create a rotation of who gets the stools each day because they love them so much. Again, your participation in the success of my classroom is so appreciated!","fullyFundedDate":1727119196094,"projectUrl":"project/flexible-seating-for-miss-antushs-class/8724415/","projectTitle":"Flexible Seating for Miss Antush's Classroom","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Antush","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-4_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/8915486"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_84818","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":555,"numTeachers":42,"percentFrplEligible":37,"percentAsian":1,"percentBlack":3,"percentWhite":71,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":16,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"4 - 5","studentTeacherRatio":"13.2:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":false,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"SUBURBAN","ncesMetroType":"SUBURB_MIDSIZE"},"inStateSupporters":73.7,"schoolId":84818,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Walter G Nord Middle School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Walter G Nord Middle School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/ohio/amherst-exempted-village-school-district/walter-g-nord-middle-school/84818"}
