The students have mentioned that they enjoy choosing their own tokens this year, especially compared to last year.\r\nRegarding the bouncy chair feet, they have greatly helped my active students focus better on their work. One student who had a habit of leaning back in their chair has stopped doing so since receiving the chair feet. We refer to the chair feet as \"tires,\" and if one comes off or gets lost in the classroom while moving their chair, the student is responsible for finding it. This has contributed to improving their sense of responsibility.","fullyFundedDate":1746803096840,"projectUrl":"project/classroom-supplies-for-a-special-educati/9307942/","projectTitle":"Classroom Supplies for a Special Education Class","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Sanchez","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp9602008_orig.jpg?crop=1:1,smart&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1753112545618","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9602008"},{"teacherId":9602008,"projectId":9072537,"letterContent":"Thank you for your generous donation to my classroom. The students have truly appreciated the treats you've provided. I've been handing out the goodies as a reward for their hard work, especially during the beginning of the school year assessments.\r\nAlthough I had to select several replacement items with this order, it turned out well because I was able to acquire two new rugs for the students. One rug is now in the \"calm down\" area, while the other is positioned between the students' chairs. When the students first saw the carpet between their desks, their excitement was palpable. Some even laid down on it, remarking on how soft it was. Later, those who visited the calm down area were thrilled to discover the rug in the teepee and also commented on its softness.\r\nIn addition to the rugs, I ordered writing process folders and clear wall shelves for the class. I've recently installed them, and the students are eager to start using them.","fullyFundedDate":1746803097324,"projectUrl":"project/students-rewardincentives-and-encouragi/9072537/","projectTitle":"Students Reward/Incentives and Encouraging a Clean Classroom Environment","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Sanchez","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp9602008_orig.jpg?crop=1:1,smart&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1753112545618","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9602008"},{"teacherId":9739561,"projectId":8754331,"letterContent":"Thank you for funding our resources.

They have been able to get more AR points with the new books. \r\nI've been using my chair to work small groups. It is perfect and comfortable for the time I work with my students. The students have even asked to use it. The cards have also helped us review comprehension skills we've been going over. It's a great resource in our classroom. The timer not only displays the time but also helps choose a student or group.

One activity that we do in the morning with the Ten frames is associated with the date.\r\nExample: The date is written on the board, 12/19/24 and the students find the various equations for the number 19. The students are able to move the pieces from one frame to another to find the equations. Many students are now able to do this without the use of the Ten frames.\r\nAnother activity that we do with the resources is the Shapes and pictures.\r\nThe students are given a bin of shapes and a picture. The picture is made up of shapes and the students must build the picture with the shapes. This helps them to problem solve, and to think about the bigger picture. In life any company that is shipping merchandise, loading product on pallets or trucks rely on filling boxes and trailer to capacity using the smallest another of space, therefor saving in packing and transposition cost.","fullyFundedDate":1725887911561,"projectUrl":"project/engineers-accountants-and-business-owne/8482798/","projectTitle":"Engineers, Accountants and Business Owners All Have Number Sense","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Ferguson","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-3_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9583924"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_35262","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":572,"numTeachers":32,"percentFrplEligible":95,"percentAsian":0,"percentBlack":12,"percentWhite":0,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":84,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"Pre-K - 5","studentTeacherRatio":"17.9:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"URBAN","ncesMetroType":"CITY_MIDSIZE"},"inStateSupporters":78.8,"schoolId":35262,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Abraham Lincoln Elementary School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Abraham Lincoln Elementary School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/california/san-bernardino-city-unified-school-district/abraham-lincoln-elementary-school/35262"}
