These desks, part of our innovative Wonder Lab, allow students the freedom to choose seating arrangements that best suit their individual needs. From the very first day they saw the new materials, students were excited and curious. The ability to move freely while working helped them feel empowered to take control of their learning environment, which in turn boosted their focus and enthusiasm for the tasks ahead. The desks have quickly become a tool for fostering collaboration, allowing students to gather in groups and share ideas more easily.\r\n\r\nMoving forward we will continue to involve students using the Wonder Lab space to refine their community designs. They'll continue to use the surf desks to collaborate and share feedback with one another, enhancing their critical thinking and communication skills. We're excited to see how these resources will continue to inspire creativity, deepen student engagement, and build a stronger sense of community within our classroom.\r\n\r\nWe're incredibly grateful to our donors for making this possible, and we're excited to share even more milestones from our journey as we create a more inclusive, interactive, and student-centered learning space.","fullyFundedDate":1731970244413,"projectUrl":"project/creating-a-comfortable-classroom-flexib/8919228/","projectTitle":"Creating a Comfortable Classroom: Flexible Seating for Enhanced Learning","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Cebuhar","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp9815450_orig.jpg?crop=432,432,x0,y0&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1729822016192","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9815450"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_53596","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":564,"numTeachers":28,"percentFrplEligible":80,"percentAsian":1,"percentBlack":2,"percentWhite":36,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":38,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"Pre-K - 5","studentTeacherRatio":"20.1:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"URBAN","ncesMetroType":"CITY_SMALL"},"inStateSupporters":34.0,"schoolId":53596,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Walker Elementary School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Walker Elementary School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/arkansas/springdale-public-schools/walker-elementary-school/53596"}
