They immediately wanted to try everything, and it's been wonderful to see them already finding ways to use the materials throughout the school day. \r\nEvery morning, the kids go straight to pick out a seat cushion. They love having added comfort at their desk. Students love grabbing a cushion, getting comfortable, and settling in to read - and I love that they enjoy spending time in our classroom library.\r\n\r\nThe textured fidget stickers have been a great addition. Students were excited to choose a calming sticker to place on their desks and use quietly when they need a little extra sensory support to help them stay focused during lessons. \r\n\r\nThe different seating options give students opportunities for extra movement while they learn. The wiggle chair has been especially popular, and students are already wishing we had more! Giving students choices in how they sit helps them find what works best for their bodies while still allowing them to participate and stay engaged in learning.\r\n\r\nThe dry-erase sticker dots have also made our teacher-led differentiated instruction (DI) groups run much more smoothly. It has helped students to come to DI rotations quickly without worrying about bringing additional materials. It has also been helpful for after-school tutoring.\r\nThank you for helping us create a classroom where students can move, focus, read, create, and learn in ways that work best for them!","fullyFundedDate":1779212062884,"projectUrl":"project/flexible-seating/10282208/","projectTitle":"Flexible Seating","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Dominque","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp10472079_orig.jpg?crop=1:1,smart&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1778458185487","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/10472079"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_43476","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":293,"numTeachers":27,"percentFrplEligible":95,"percentAsian":0,"percentBlack":0,"percentWhite":10,"percentIndigenous":42,"percentLatinx":3,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","percentHawaiianImputed":0,"percentMultiracialImputed":42,"gradesServed":"Pre-K - 5","studentTeacherRatio":"10.9:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"RURAL","ncesMetroType":"RURAL_REMOTE"},"inStateSupporters":31.5,"schoolId":43476,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Nome Elementary School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Nome Elementary School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/alaska/nome-public-schools/nome-elementary-school/43476"}
