I come from a historically small school where class sizes have typically been around 13–15 students, but this year my class size nearly doubled. I knew I needed to create more seating options that would help my students feel comfortable and engaged while learning. Thanks to your generosity, my students now have stools, wobble seats, tractor chairs, wave seats, and other options that allow them to choose a seat that works best for them.\r\n\r\nWhen the new seating arrived, my students were especially surprised and excited to learn that they could actually choose where they sat! They have loved having the opportunity to try different seats, and I have loved seeing how much they value having that choice. Since school has just begun, we are learning the expectations and procedures for using each type of seating responsibly. It has already been wonderful to see my students take ownership of their learning environment and enjoy the flexibility these new options provide.\r\n\r\nThank you for investing in my students and helping make our classroom a place where they can learn in ways that work for them. Your generosity has given my third graders something they truly appreciate: a little more choice, comfort, and independence throughout their school day. I am so grateful that you helped make our classroom a more engaging and welcoming place for every student!","fullyFundedDate":1777568171928,"projectUrl":"project/flexible-seating-for-growing-minds-comf/10158763/","projectTitle":"Flexible Seating for Growing Minds: Comfort, Choice, and Success","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Sturdy","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp8190165_orig.png?crop=669,669,x82,y77&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1773761905238","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/8190165"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_19827","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":135,"numTeachers":12,"percentFrplEligible":53,"percentAsian":0,"percentBlack":0,"percentWhite":88,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":2,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","percentHawaiianImputed":0,"percentMultiracialImputed":9,"gradesServed":"Pre-K - 6","studentTeacherRatio":"11.2:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"TOWN","ncesMetroType":"RURAL_DISTANT"},"inStateSupporters":41.0,"schoolId":19827,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about New Middletown Elementary School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"New Middletown Elementary School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/indiana/south-harrison-community-school-corporation/new-middletown-elementary-school/19827"}
