Many of my students, ranging from TK to 5th grade, have greatly benefited from the wiggle wobble chair feet. They have expressed that these resources help them concentrate better during lessons and instructions from their teachers. My fifth graders have specifically noted that these tools allow them to maintain focus and stay on track during independent work times, leading to improved time management and a greater sense of success in school.\r\n\r\nWhen the students first entered the classroom and saw the wiggle wobble chair feet, their excitement was palpable. As they took time to explore and \"play around\" with them, they quickly understood the purpose of this innovative tool. This experience has empowered students to advocate for their needs regarding these resources, whether they require them in my classroom or in their general education classes. Many teachers have reported a noticeable improvement in focus and attention as a result. Moving forward, I aim to continue fostering my students' confidence and self-advocacy skills, which will ultimately help them become more independent and successful learners.","fullyFundedDate":1735773947329,"projectUrl":"project/flexible-seating-supports-flexible-think/8763510/","projectTitle":"Flexible Seating Supports Flexible Thinking!","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Hokenson","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp4448210_orig.jpg?crop=1:1,smart&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1726427373600","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/mrshteachesasd"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_62308","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":370,"numTeachers":18,"percentFrplEligible":65,"percentAsian":6,"percentBlack":2,"percentWhite":51,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":26,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"Pre-K - 5","studentTeacherRatio":"20.6:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":false,"metroType":"URBAN","ncesMetroType":"CITY_MIDSIZE"},"inStateSupporters":96.6,"schoolId":62308,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Vencil Brown Elementary School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Vencil Brown Elementary School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/california/roseville-city-school-district/vencil-brown-elementary-school/62308"}
