The Lysol wipes and paper towels are also being used quite a bit to keep their desks free from messes and germs. Our classroom is cleaner because of you.

The stools allow them to move around the room, take breaks from sitting at their desks, and stretch a little—helping them stay more engaged and comfortable throughout the day.\r\nWhen my students first saw the stacking stools, they were genuinely excited and curious. They immediately started asking where they came from and who got them for us, showing their appreciation and enthusiasm for having something new and different in the classroom.\r\nOur class has been learning all about pollinators and the pollination process. The students now understand that many fruits and vegetables are able to grow thanks to pollination, and they've really enjoyed discovering the important role pollinators play in our environment. Next, we'll be focusing on how to protect pollinators—especially butterflies. As part of this unit, the students will be designing their own wildflower seed packets, with the hope that they'll plant the seeds at home and start their own butterfly gardens.","fullyFundedDate":1732752080976,"projectUrl":"project/enhancing-student-learning-with-stacking/8525094/","projectTitle":"Enhancing Student Learning With Stacking Stools","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Kristen","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp5430462_orig.jpg?crop=1295,1295,x0,y189&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1722214719342","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/5430462"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_3317","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":276,"numTeachers":20,"percentFrplEligible":95,"percentAsian":0,"percentBlack":17,"percentWhite":10,"percentIndigenous":49,"percentLatinx":12,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"K - 5","studentTeacherRatio":"13.8:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"RURAL","ncesMetroType":"RURAL_DISTANT"},"inStateSupporters":53.7,"schoolId":3317,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Fairgrove Elementary School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Fairgrove Elementary School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/north-carolina/public-schools-of-robeson-county/fairgrove-middle-school/3317"}
