The students love them and it is making a difference in class. When they are working, I can see the kids constantly bouncing up and down and wobbling side-to-side. The class says it helps them focus. \r\n\r\nThey have also figured out different ways to sit on the cushions. Being able to explore what works best for each individual has been a good learning opportunity and lead to discussions about personal preference and differing opinions. Some students like the \"spiky\" side up, while others like the \"smooth\" side. A few like to sit with the cushion at their back. Two students tried the cushions and decided they like to sit in just a chair.\r\n\r\nWe all really appreciate your generosity.","fullyFundedDate":1771382108306,"projectUrl":"project/get-the-wiggles-out/9835289/","projectTitle":"Get the Wiggles Out","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Davis","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-2_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/6490983"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_40009","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":436,"numTeachers":21,"percentFrplEligible":64,"percentAsian":1,"percentBlack":1,"percentWhite":37,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":48,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","percentHawaiianImputed":0,"percentMultiracialImputed":11,"gradesServed":"Pre-K - 6","studentTeacherRatio":"20.8:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"URBAN","ncesMetroType":"CITY_SMALL"},"inStateSupporters":87.1,"schoolId":40009,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Roosevelt Elementary School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Roosevelt Elementary School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/california/santa-barbara-unified-school-district/roosevelt-elementary-school/40009"}
