These new seating options have quickly become a favorite learning spot for my students and have added a sense of comfort and choice to our daily routines.\r\n\r\nThe bean bags have been especially helpful during our independent reading block. Recently, we launched a project called \"Book Buddies,\" where students pair up to read the same text and discuss characters, problems, and themes. During our first session with the new seating, two students settled into the bean bags together and immediately became immersed in their book. They read, whispered predictions to each other, and even used the soft seating to create a small \"reading nook\" where they felt focused and confident. It was such a simple moment, but it showed how flexible seating can support collaboration and encourage deeper engagement.\r\n\r\nWhen the students first walked in and saw the bean bags, the room filled with excitement—wide smiles, eager hands in the air, and lots of \"Is it our turn today?\" They were so grateful, and they quickly understood that these chairs were something special we would take care of as a class.\r\n\r\nThank you for giving my students a classroom environment where they feel comfortable, valued, and excited to learn. Your generosity has truly made a daily impact.","fullyFundedDate":1757683179122,"projectUrl":"project/mrs-kims-flexible-seating/9529871/","projectTitle":"Mrs. Kim’s Flexible Seating","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Kim","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp9881449_orig.jpg?crop=1:1,smart&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1784658473171","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9881449"},{"teacherId":10078142,"projectId":9460706,"letterContent":"Thanks to this project, my students are using the new resources daily in ways that truly enhance their learning and creativity. One memorable moment was during a hands-on classroom project where students were able to explore, create, and collaborate using the materials. They worked in small groups, shared ideas, and stayed engaged from start to finish. The resources have made lessons more interactive and accessible, allowing students to better understand concepts while having fun and building confidence in their abilities.\r\nWhen the materials arrived, my students were beyond excited—there were smiles, cheers, and lots of curiosity as they explored everything for the first time. They immediately wanted to know when and how we would start using them. Your generosity has given them a sense of pride and motivation, knowing that people outside our classroom care about their success. Moving forward, we will continue using these resources in upcoming lessons to deepen understanding, practice skills, and support student-led projects that encourage creativity, problem-solving, and teamwork.","fullyFundedDate":1757683074646,"projectUrl":"project/first-year-second-grade-teacher/9460706/","projectTitle":"First-Year Second-Grade Teacher!","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Ojeda","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-2_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/10078142"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_5071","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":707,"numTeachers":26,"percentFrplEligible":54,"percentAsian":5,"percentBlack":9,"percentWhite":21,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":50,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","percentHawaiianImputed":0,"percentMultiracialImputed":11,"gradesServed":"Pre-K - 6","studentTeacherRatio":"27.2:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"SUBURBAN","ncesMetroType":"SUBURB_MIDSIZE"},"inStateSupporters":83.6,"schoolId":5071,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Eugene Padan Elementary School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Eugene Padan Elementary School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/california/vacaville-unified-school-district/eugene-padan-elementary-school/5071"}
