Having flexible seats allows students a chance to move their legs, sit comfortably, and sit in different groupings around the room as they work on different types of projects with classmates or independently. When the new chairs arrived, students were so excited to see that they were brand new and easy to move to the desired height for comfort. Now students can sit on the floor with their iPads when we do a demo in the front of the class and it is easier for them to see and be engaged when they have a front row to the action. Flexible seating has helped build community as students are able to sit next to other classmates that do not regularly sit by them in class, and it allows for more flexibilty in groupwork and allowing students choice whether they like to sit in a regular chair or flexible seat.\r\nWe are grateful for the donations that made our new flexible seats possible!","fullyFundedDate":1746747221758,"projectUrl":"project/creating-in-comfort-flexible-seating-fo/9293759/","projectTitle":"Creating in Comfort: Flexible Seating for Media Arts","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Kushner","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp2511341_orig.jpg?crop=1:1,smart&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1578035422415","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/chutemediaarts"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_25781","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":564,"numTeachers":56,"percentFrplEligible":51,"percentAsian":5,"percentBlack":28,"percentWhite":27,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":31,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"6 - 8","studentTeacherRatio":"10.1:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"URBAN","ncesMetroType":"CITY_SMALL"},"inStateSupporters":76.3,"schoolId":25781,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Chute Middle School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Chute Middle School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/illinois/evanston-skokie-cmty-csd-65/chute-middle-school/25781"}
