My table has been such a wonderful addition. We had a bit of a bump with the initial arrival and students kept asking when we would be getting it. One it arrived they couldn't wait for me it to be assembled. \r\n\r\nThe students are frequently asking to sit with me to get assistance or to just sit near me to help hone their focus in to what they are working on. In any given day I have a couple students who sit with me every day as a regular seat and a dozens of others who come and go through out work time, sometimes asking for help with one question and moving away or sitting for more support. One of the biggest benefits is that it allows me to save time. Instead of wandering the room and missing out on time I could use to help support my students, I can move from one student to the next in a second. \r\n\r\nBoth the students and myself are appreciative for you choosing our classroom to support when there are so many other options.","fullyFundedDate":1733247747819,"projectUrl":"project/sitting-together-to-learn-together/8589915/","projectTitle":"Sitting Together to Learn Together","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Nasiatka","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp3472356_orig.jpg?crop=1:1,smart&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1659572095614","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/cgasaway"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_19355","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":566,"numTeachers":45,"percentFrplEligible":77,"percentAsian":0,"percentBlack":20,"percentWhite":45,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":29,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"6 - 8","studentTeacherRatio":"12.6:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"SUBURBAN","ncesMetroType":"SUBURB_LARGE"},"inStateSupporters":54.1,"schoolId":19355,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about William Fegely Middle School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"William Fegely Middle School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/indiana/portage-township-schools-corporation/william-fegely-middle-school/19355"}
