My students are thrilled to use the lap desks and cushions you so generously provided. They love to use the cozy cushions every morning as they read with partners. They sit \"elbow to elbow and knee to knee\" as they track the words with their eyes and \"reading fingers\". When writing time comes they eagerly get started knowing that they can choose to sit on the floor, instead of at their desks. They often sit by a partner so they can talk about the work they are doing. Talking about our thinking is a big part of 2nd grade. The items you gave to us help us achieve our goals.\r\n When the students first saw the cushions and lap desks their faces lit up with joy. They were so surprised to receive such a generous giift. They continue to get excited every day to use these flexible seating options. I also noticed that they treat the items with care. Every day, students will ask to help collect and organize them after they use them.\r\nAgain, thank you so much. This gift will serve my students for years to come.","fullyFundedDate":1758997884633,"projectUrl":"project/its-all-about-choice/9578719/","projectTitle":"It's all about Choice!","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Hurst","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp7852516_orig.jpg?crop=606,606,x0,y191&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1621024059241","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/7852516"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_52404","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":512,"numTeachers":30,"percentFrplEligible":38,"percentAsian":0,"percentBlack":0,"percentWhite":82,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":10,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"Pre-K - 6","studentTeacherRatio":"17.1:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":false,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"TOWN","ncesMetroType":"TOWN_DISTANT"},"inStateSupporters":38.0,"schoolId":52404,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Farmin - Stidwell Elementary School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Farmin - Stidwell Elementary School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/idaho/lake-pend-oreille-school-district-84/farmin-stidwell-elementary-school/52404"}
