The moment my students saw them, they were so excited to try them out. Having comfortable, supportive seating has made a world of difference during our OT sessions.\r\nMany of my students work on fine motor skills, handwriting, and sensory regulation, and proper seating is an important part of helping them succeed. With these chairs, they are better able to sit with good posture, focus on their activities, and stay engaged longer. \r\nWe've already used the chairs during activities like theraputty exercises and handwriting practice. As we continue working on building strength, coordination, and confidence, these chairs will be used every single day. Your generosity has given my students the tools they need to feel comfortable and successful.","fullyFundedDate":1749237521025,"projectUrl":"project/a-seat-at-the-table/9132467/","projectTitle":"A Seat at the Table!","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Stinebrook","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp9057935_orig.jpg?crop=2316,2316,x0,y386&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1755540837002","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9057935"},{"teacherId":8630466,"projectId":9262861,"letterContent":"We want to express our heartfelt gratitude for your generous donation that provided us with a tablet for our classroom. This incredible gift has made a significant impact on our students' learning experiences, especially in coding and robotics.\r\nWith the tablet, our students are now able to engage hands-on with coding activities and control Dash robots in real time. This technology has brought abstract programming concepts to life, making learning interactive, fun, and deeply engaging. Watching students debug code, collaborate on projects, and see their commands come alive in the movements of the robots is truly inspiring.\r\nThe tablet has become an essential tool in developing critical 21st-century skills such as problem-solving, logical thinking, and teamwork. It allows students of all skill levels to explore coding at their own pace while encouraging creativity and experimentation. The excitement and confidence we see in the students as they successfully program Dash robots are priceless.\r\nYour support has opened doors to opportunities that would otherwise be unavailable to our classroom. It has helped bridge the digital divide and ensured that every student has access to modern learning tools that prepare them for future careers in STEM fields. The tablet is not just a device; it's a gateway to discovery, innovation, and growth.\r\nThank you for believing in the power of education and the potential of our students. Your generosity has made a lasting difference in their lives, inspiring a passion for technology and learning. We are deeply appreciative of your kindness and commitment to supporting classrooms like ours.","fullyFundedDate":1745164047075,"projectUrl":"project/tablet-for-coding/9262861/","projectTitle":"Tablet for coding","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Pillow","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp8630466_orig.jpg?crop=385,385,x0,y0&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1660919199297","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/8630466"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_105328","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":363,"numTeachers":33,"percentFrplEligible":76,"percentAsian":2,"percentBlack":44,"percentWhite":32,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":7,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"Pre-K - 5","studentTeacherRatio":"11.0:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"URBAN","ncesMetroType":"CITY_LARGE"},"inStateSupporters":72.2,"schoolId":105328,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Gateway Science Academy - South on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Gateway Science Academy - South","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/missouri/missouri-department-of-education/gateway-science-academy-south/105328"}
