I want to express my deepest gratitude for funding my classroom project, \"Small Group Instruction Stools.\" Thanks to your generosity, my students and I now have 12 padded stools that have transformed our small group instruction time into an even more focused and dynamic part of our day.\r\n\r\nThe stools have significantly improved our flexibility during small group instruction. Whether we're diving into math strategies or breaking down complex reading passages, the stools create a sense of structure and collaboration. In one recent lesson, we used them during a math workshop on multiplying fractions. The seating arrangement helped students stay engaged and participate actively, as we could easily move around and share our thoughts without worrying about clunky furniture or limited space.\r\n\r\nThese stools have also allowed me to better organize and manage our learning environment. With a consistent seating option, my students have clear expectations during group time, fostering a sense of independence and accountability. This structure has been invaluable as we continue to tackle challenging lessons and concepts.\r\n\r\nAs we move forward, these stools will continue to play a vital role in our classroom. We are currently exploring problem-solving strategies in math and working on collaborative science projects.\r\n\r\nThank you once again for your kindness and support. Your contribution has made a lasting impact, and I'm excited to see how these stools will continue to enhance our classroom experiences.","fullyFundedDate":1726786557054,"projectUrl":"project/small-group-instruction-stools/8733089/","projectTitle":"Small Group Instruction Stools!","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Clark","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp9186355_orig.png?crop=490,490,x284,y0&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1743121926157","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9186355"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_509","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":713,"numTeachers":61,"percentFrplEligible":92,"percentAsian":1,"percentBlack":11,"percentWhite":0,"percentIndigenous":2,"percentLatinx":83,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"K - 5","studentTeacherRatio":"11.7:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"URBAN","ncesMetroType":"CITY_LARGE"},"inStateSupporters":54.6,"schoolId":509,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about PS 195 on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"PS 195","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/new-york/new-york-city-dept-of-ed/ps-195/509"}
