Students couldn't wait to try out the stools, and within minutes, I noticed how much they helped my more energetic learners stay focused during lessons. One student even told me, \"I can finally move and still get my work done!\" It was such a small change, but it made a big difference in their ability to concentrate and participate.\r\n\r\nThe prize store toys have also been a huge hit. We're using them as rewards in our classroom incentive system, and it has transformed the way students approach challenges. Instead of giving up, I now see them pushing themselves a little harder because they're motivated to earn a prize. One student who usually struggled to stay on task proudly earned his first prize, and the whole class cheered for him.\r\n\r\nRight now, we're working on group projects in reading and math, and the stools are keeping students engaged while collaborating. The prize store will continue to encourage positive behavior and hard work as we move into new units.\r\n\r\nThanks to your generosity, my students feel supported, motivated, and excited about learning every day.","fullyFundedDate":1746786389323,"projectUrl":"project/wobble-focus-learn-flexible-seating-/9327731/","projectTitle":"Wobble, Focus, Learn: Flexible Seating & Tools for Success!","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Hall","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp7714540_orig.png?crop=346,346,x643,y82&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1610044390710","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/7714540"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_32169","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":805,"numTeachers":41,"percentFrplEligible":3,"percentAsian":62,"percentBlack":2,"percentWhite":20,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":9,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"K - 6","studentTeacherRatio":"19.6:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":false,"titleOne":false,"metroType":"URBAN","ncesMetroType":"CITY_LARGE"},"inStateSupporters":55.3,"schoolId":32169,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about CTA - Independence Campus on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"CTA - Independence Campus","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/arizona/chandler-unified-school-district-80/cta-independence-campus/32169"}
