During our recent project on understanding multiplication and division word problems, students used the flexible seating options to form small collaborative groups, choosing spots where they could comfortably discuss and solve problems together. They worked on paper to draw models and write out their solutions, using pencils to make changes and corrections easily. After each group session, students took responsibility for wiping down their tables and shared materials using Lysol and cleaning wipes, which helped keep our space safe and clean.\r\n\r\nWhen the students first saw the flexible seating and new supplies, they were excited and curious. Many of them immediately tested out the different chairs and cushions, expressing how much more comfortable and fun learning felt. The availability of pencils and fresh paper also encouraged them to dive right into problem-solving without hesitation, and they quickly embraced the routine of cleaning their spaces, showing maturity and care for their classroom environment.\r\n\r\nLooking ahead, our next steps involve applying these problem-solving skills to multi-step word problems and beginning to explore basic fractions. Students will continue using flexible seating during partner and group work to support collaboration and communication. We'll also integrate math journals where students will record their strategies and reflections, reinforcing both their conceptual understanding and their responsibility for maintaining a clean, organized workspace with the supplies provided.","fullyFundedDate":1746722740980,"projectUrl":"project/4th-grade-flexible-seating/9149551/","projectTitle":"4th Grade Flexible Seating","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Meadows-Grayson","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-2_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9718043"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_50269","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":487,"numTeachers":31,"percentFrplEligible":95,"percentAsian":0,"percentBlack":71,"percentWhite":2,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":23,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"Pre-K - 5","studentTeacherRatio":"15.7:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"URBAN","ncesMetroType":"CITY_MIDSIZE"},"inStateSupporters":66.2,"schoolId":50269,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Martin Luther King Junior Elementary School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Martin Luther King Junior Elementary School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/georgia/muscogee-county-school-district/martin-luther-king-junior-elementary-school/50269"}
