I have a routine of selecting three students a day to use the wobble stools. If I forget it doesn't take long and a student will remind me. I have students with a variety of needs and yet all of them love the stools. These stools are so much more durable than other brands that I have seen. Also, having stools that are adjustable make them usable by everyone no matter how tall they are.\r\nThank you so much SONIC for your generous gift!","fullyFundedDate":1745847083882,"projectUrl":"project/5th-graders-wobble-but-they-wont-fall/9085112/","projectTitle":"5th Graders Wobble, but They Won't Fall Down (1)","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Feldkamp","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp3838682_orig.jpg?crop=360,360,x0,y86&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1666042337698","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/3838682"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_54104","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":952,"numTeachers":45,"percentFrplEligible":65,"percentAsian":4,"percentBlack":11,"percentWhite":71,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":5,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"K - 5","studentTeacherRatio":"21.2:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":false,"metroType":"SUBURBAN","ncesMetroType":"SUBURB_LARGE"},"inStateSupporters":50.0,"schoolId":54104,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Fernbrook Elementary School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Fernbrook Elementary School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/minnesota/osseo-independent-school-district-279/fernbrook-elementary-school/54104"}
