It has been a huge game changer for all subjects! I no longer have to have the digital copy pulled up and projected to the smart tv in order for students to follow along. It helps me accommodate my struggling writers in whole group. I can also show student work examples in a whole group setting!\r\n\r\nI have always loved using a document camera to help with engagement. I can show vocabulary and spelling lists on the board while students work around the room.

My students use them all day long. We store them in a clear plastic container and students are allowed to check them out as needed. Many students use them while completing independent work! They especially love them when activities require them to get up and move around the room.\r\n\r\nThe wobble stools don't just help with movement at their desk! They allow for students like the photo shared to stand and slide their wobble stools under the desk! This has been a huge game changer. With our regular chairs, they stick up and have to be physically moved away from the desk if a student needs or wants to stand. The wobble stools allow for students who move often to have more flexibility without distraction to the entire class!","fullyFundedDate":1759059839858,"projectUrl":"project/an-accommodating-learning-environment/9715220/","projectTitle":"An Accommodating Learning Environment","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Torri","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp6041610_orig.jpg?crop=1:1,smart&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1551322023217","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/mrsjennifertorri"},{"teacherId":6041610,"projectId":9648077,"letterContent":"Yesterday, our classroom celebrated the end of our multiplication unit with \"An Array Bakery\" room transformation!
