Packages slowly arrived over about a week. And every single time a new box showed up in the classroom. The kids thought it was Christmas all over again! They were so excited to open the boxes and put the things together. \r\n\r\nSo far the trike is absolutely the favorite. Being in Minnesota in the winter time can be tough when we need to move our bodies a lot. The trike allows us to move around the school when we need movement breaks. Makes it so that we don't have to go outside in the cold all the time! \r\n\r\nThey also love the new games added to our classroom collection. We were able to purchase three new games that are in more age-appropriate and developmentally appropriate for some of my students this year.\r\n\r\nLastly, they love the additional seating options that have been added to the classroom. Stools and soft cushions are great! We wish we could take pictures of the students enjoying them, but I have uploaded pictures of the material so you can see what was purchased with your generosity!","fullyFundedDate":1763052767882,"projectUrl":"project/moving-bodies-ready-minds-flexible-sea/9735757/","projectTitle":"Moving Bodies, Ready Minds: Flexible Seating for Elementary Learners","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Neu","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp9721705_orig.png?crop=306,306,x0,y7&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1725106522096","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9721705"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_74734","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":610,"numTeachers":37,"percentFrplEligible":21,"percentAsian":0,"percentBlack":2,"percentWhite":89,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":4,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"K - 4","studentTeacherRatio":"16.5:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":false,"titleOne":false,"metroType":"RURAL","ncesMetroType":"RURAL_DISTANT"},"inStateSupporters":89.1,"schoolId":74734,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Pine Island Elementary School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Pine Island Elementary School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/minnesota/pine-island-school-district-255/pine-island-elementary-school/74734"}
