We have used it for centers, student desk, and/or study hall time. The students love the new addition and choice to our seating. I often have students running to the table to work there! It is a great addition for students that have a hard time sitting still, they can stand move around and stay focused on the task they are working on. \r\n It is nice to have alternative seating options in the room. I have been wanting to do this for awhile and am very excited to watch the students enjoy it too. \r\n Thank you for all the middle school aged books. The students are checking them out and enjoying them as I had hoped.","fullyFundedDate":1764780892911,"projectUrl":"project/engaging-middle-schoolers/9710259/","projectTitle":"Engaging Middle Schoolers","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Huling","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-7_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/10258173"},{"teacherId":9030066,"projectId":9282828,"letterContent":"My students and I have been so excited to put our new resources to use! We've incorporated them into our daily lessons and small group activities, and they've already made a noticeable difference in student engagement and learning. For example, during literacy centers, students have been using the materials to strengthen their phonics and fluency skills through interactive and hands-on practice. \r\n\r\nNext, we'll be using these resources to continue building reading confidence and comprehension. Students will take part in small group projects that focus on applying their skills through games, writing responses, and shared reading experiences.

In our classroom, we've been using your donation to provide healthy options during the school day, especially for students who may not always have something to eat between meals. It's made a noticeable difference in their energy, attention, and overall happiness at school.\r\n\r\nWhen the snacks first arrived, the students' faces lit up. They were so excited to see the choices and couldn't believe that people they didn't even know had helped make this possible for them. \r\n\r\nMoving forward, we're continuing to make snack time a calm, community-centered part of our day. Students are learning about responsibility as they help pass out snacks and clean up afterward. Most importantly, they're able to focus on learning rather than hunger. Your kindness has made a real difference in their school experience — thank you for caring about their well-being and success.","fullyFundedDate":1758231849599,"projectUrl":"project/hungry-hungry-warriors-snack-favorite/9391929/","projectTitle":"Hungry Hungry Warriors! - Snack Favorites","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Batten","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp10048699_orig.jpg?crop=608,608,x296,y167&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1748900387768","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/10048699"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_52141","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":175,"numTeachers":12,"percentFrplEligible":95,"percentAsian":0,"percentBlack":0,"percentWhite":96,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":0,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"Pre-K - 6","studentTeacherRatio":"14.6:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"RURAL","ncesMetroType":"RURAL_REMOTE"},"inStateSupporters":66.7,"schoolId":52141,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Van Buren Elementary School - Harmony on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Van Buren Elementary School - Harmony","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/iowa/van-buren-county-community-school-district/harmony-elementary-school/52141"}
