Because of your support, my students now have a peaceful and welcoming space with comfortable seating and engaging calming activities that help them regulate their emotions throughout the day. The thumbs-up/thumbs-down response paddles have already made a difference for students who struggle to communicate their needs verbally, giving them a simple, stress-free way to participate. Your donations also provided headphones for students who rely on \"read-to-me\" tools and come from financially struggling families these have been a game-changer for their confidence and independence.\r\n\r\nIn addition, the seat bands and fidgets have given my energetic learners a productive outlet that allows them to stay focused without feeling restricted. For me as an educator, the organizational shelves, pockets, laminating sheets, and presentation clicker have made my classroom more efficient, structured, and supportive for every student. These tools not only help me stay organized but also strengthen the learning environment I'm able to create.\r\n\r\nYour kindness has made a real and lasting impact on our classroom community, and we are deeply grateful.

I always strive to provide flexible seating to my students each year through trips to the thrift store, sales, and deals on FB marketplace. Since we actively use our carpet, seat cushions, yoga balls, etc. they go through major wear-and-tear, making it challenging to replace items when they inevitably break. However, you made it possible for my new group of 4th graders to have brand new classroom materials!\r\n\r\nMy whole class gathers on our carpet each morning to go over our schedule and start the day together. Whenever someone comes to my classroom, they are always quick to compliment our fun, rainbow smiley carpet. My students were so excited when I introduced our flexible seating chart, known to us as \"Book Nooks.\" They get assigned a new flexible seating option each week. Every Monday when they get a new choice, I'm reminded of the excitement and anticipation that comes with getting your favorite one (the yoga balls and lily pads are extremely popular)! \r\n\r\nIt's not only exciting, but helpful with engagement. I have a few students this year who are always on the move - wiggling, fidgeting, and often out of their seat. I was shocked when one of them had the yoga ball because he was able to quietly wiggle all day AND get his work done without distracting himself and his peers. Another wiggly student tried the chair kick band and it had the same effect. She was able to actively move her legs without unnecessarily leaving her seat. I'm very grateful for these materials, as they are allowing kids to be themselves while also remaining present for learning.","fullyFundedDate":1755697539017,"projectUrl":"project/flexible-seating-wiggle-while-you-work/9506249/","projectTitle":"Flexible Seating: Wiggle While You Work!","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Ruffa","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp9176190_orig.jpg?crop=296,296,x0,y54&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1722114139171","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9176190"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_64821","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":601,"numTeachers":36,"percentFrplEligible":53,"percentAsian":11,"percentBlack":60,"percentWhite":5,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":19,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"Pre-K - 5","studentTeacherRatio":"16.7:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"SUBURBAN","ncesMetroType":"RURAL_FRINGE"},"inStateSupporters":67.7,"schoolId":64821,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Burtonsville Elementary School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Burtonsville Elementary School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/maryland/montgomery-county-public-schools/burtonsville-elementary-school/64821"}
