Having comfortable and flexible seating gives students the opportunity to choose a space where they can focus and feel comfortable while learning. One special moment was during our reading time when students were able to choose a beanbag or stool and settle into a comfortable spot with their books. They were excited to have a new space that felt inviting and helped make reading time even more enjoyable.\r\nMy students were extremely excited when they first saw the stools and beanbags! They immediately wanted to try them out and were curious about how we could use them in our classroom. Their excitement showed me how much something as simple as comfortable seating can positively affect their attitude toward learning. The students especially enjoyed having choices and being able to find a spot where they felt comfortable and ready to participate.","fullyFundedDate":1787585264547,"projectUrl":"project/seating-for-my-super-students/10466561/","projectTitle":"Seating for My Super Students","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Watts","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-8_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/10322074"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_2234","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":196,"numTeachers":14,"percentFrplEligible":88,"percentAsian":0,"percentBlack":5,"percentWhite":82,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":3,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","percentHawaiianImputed":0,"percentMultiracialImputed":8,"gradesServed":"K - 5","studentTeacherRatio":"14.0:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"RURAL","ncesMetroType":"RURAL_DISTANT"},"inStateSupporters":80.0,"schoolId":2234,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Sugar Loaf Elementary School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Sugar Loaf Elementary School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/north-carolina/alexander-county-school-district/sugar-loaf-elementary-school/2234"}
