These additions have transformed the way my students learn and interact each day. The option to stand at taller desks or use wobble stools has given my students the ability to move, stay alert, and release extra energy in a productive way. Instead of becoming restless during lessons, students are actively engaged, and our classroom environment feels more dynamic and inviting.\r\n\r\nThe flexibility these seating options provide has made a remarkable difference, especially as the day wears on. Many students choose to switch to U-shaped seats, which can be adjusted into three different positions, giving them a sense of choice and ownership over their learning space. Being able to move, wiggle, or stand has helped keep students focused and energized, even during the most challenging parts of the day. These small changes have had a big impact on their attention, confidence, and willingness to participate.\r\n\r\nYour generosity has also made it easier for us to create a collaborative and engaging learning community. With furniture that can be rearranged quickly, we can easily form small groups for discussions or rearrange for class-wide conversations, making every lesson more interactive. Thanks to your support, our classroom has become a space where students are more comfortable, engaged, and excited to learn. We are deeply grateful for your investment in our students' success—your gift has truly made a lasting difference.","fullyFundedDate":1746786523307,"projectUrl":"project/stand-up-for-our-students/9077620/","projectTitle":"Stand Up for Our Students","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Ward","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-9_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/standup"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_52653","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":491,"numTeachers":26,"percentFrplEligible":35,"percentAsian":0,"percentBlack":0,"percentWhite":47,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":51,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"6 - 8","studentTeacherRatio":"18.9:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"TOWN","ncesMetroType":"TOWN_REMOTE"},"inStateSupporters":57.6,"schoolId":52653,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about East Minico Middle School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"East Minico Middle School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/idaho/minidoka-county-joint-school-district-331/east-minico-middle-school/52653"}
