Immediately, by using flags instead of two hand touch you have made the game much safer. We have used the flags each week since we received them. The students really work harder to complete work in a timely fashion, so they could make it outside to join their peers play flag football. The headsets have given our ELL students more confidence now when participating in listen. They are able to verbally participate as they improve their listen skills.","fullyFundedDate":1760711994798,"projectUrl":"project/good-better-best/9796928/","projectTitle":"Good Better Best","teacherDisplayName":"Mr. Groce","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-1_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/10303621"},{"teacherId":9871469,"projectId":9657132,"letterContent":"There has a been highly notable difference since our classroom received our beanbag chairs. Reading in our classroom has had a noticeable uptick. Students are extra excited to read now that we have an amazing spot for them to relax and enjoy their books. The students are finishing more books and attempting AR quizzes what seems like all the time now. Honestly, the attitude towards reading in general changes both on and off the beanbag chairs now that the students have an open opportunity to enjoy reading. \r\n\r\nWhen the students first saw the materials, they were ecstatic! They could not believe we got beanbag chairs. They were all begging and pleading to sit on them and to have class on the beanbag chairs all the time. I had not told them beforehand that I had requested the donation to our classroom. They were both confused and amazed that someone would be willing to just donate so lovingly and freely. I believe it made a difference in their perspective of what people can do for one another. \r\n\r\nThank you again for your wonderful donation. I know to some it might seem like just two beanbag chairs but for these students and myself it means the world!","fullyFundedDate":1756816632844,"projectUrl":"project/cozy-reading-section/9657132/","projectTitle":"Cozy Reading Section","teacherDisplayName":"Mr. Pineda","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp9871469_orig.jpg?crop=1:1,smart&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1754664130585","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/mr-adrian-pineda"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_97872","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":24,"numTeachers":7,"percentFrplEligible":94,"percentAsian":0,"percentBlack":19,"percentWhite":3,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":73,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"3 - 12","studentTeacherRatio":"3.4:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"TOWN","ncesMetroType":"TOWN_DISTANT"},"inStateSupporters":40.0,"schoolId":97872,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about New Beginnings - Immokalee on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"New Beginnings - Immokalee","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/florida/collier-county-public-schools/new-beginnings/97872"}
