My students love that they are able to have another flexible seating option in the classroom with the standing desks. They have been able to stand up while doing their work which has worked better for some of my student. Additionally, it is placed in a place in my classroom that removes students from distractions if they are tempted to talk to other students. This has been a game changer as a teacher. The bop it and memory game has also been an exciting addition to fun Fridays. My students have loved getting to take turns testing their memory and speed and it has been used often. \r\n\r\nMy kiddos were SO thrilled and curious when they saw the items. Seeing them ask questions and peak interest in an item that I knew would benefit them was so sweet. My students ask me constantly if they can use the desk and fight over who gets to use the bop it or memory game first. \r\n\r\nThank you again for helping my students show excitement to learn and play!","fullyFundedDate":1758491487874,"projectUrl":"project/move-groove-and-game/9736347/","projectTitle":"Move, Groove, and Game","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Schutta","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp10114333_orig.jpg?crop=1:1,smart&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1758378118800","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/10114333"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_131310","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":396,"numTeachers":null,"percentFrplEligible":95,"percentAsian":3,"percentBlack":83,"percentWhite":0,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":12,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"K - 6","studentTeacherRatio":null,"demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"URBAN","ncesMetroType":"CITY_LARGE"},"inStateSupporters":64.3,"schoolId":131310,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Hennepin Elementary School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Hennepin Elementary School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/minnesota/minnesota-department-of-education/hennepin-elementary-school/131310"}
