Thanks to your generosity, we were able to purchase individual seat pillows for each of my students, stretchy bands for our chairs, stools, and 3 lap desks. These items are working fabulously for our classroom. We were so excited to receive these items.\r\n\r\nWe use these items every day, and they create such an accommodating and inviting work space for my students. Our seat pillows we use during our whole group reading and individual reading time. Every student is able to choose a pillow and a spot in the room to read, and the students absolutely love this! Stretchy bands have been placed on student chairs for when we need a little extra movement during desk time. The students are doing amazing using these tools and every child wants to have one added to their desk chair. We have been using our stools during our small group instruction, and they work perfectly.\r\n\r\nThank you so much for your donations. We greatly appreciate all of your generosity.","fullyFundedDate":1730482155581,"projectUrl":"project/take-a-seat-in-3rd-grade/8528496/","projectTitle":"Take a Seat in 3rd Grade!","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Phelps","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/272x272/tp4213019_272x272.jpg?width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1488023394936","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/4213019"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_3546","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":169,"numTeachers":23,"percentFrplEligible":94,"percentAsian":0,"percentBlack":28,"percentWhite":30,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":32,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"K - 5","studentTeacherRatio":"7.3:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"RURAL","ncesMetroType":"RURAL_REMOTE"},"inStateSupporters":58.4,"schoolId":3546,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Tyrrell Elementary School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Tyrrell Elementary School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/north-carolina/tyrrell-county-school-district/tyrrell-elementary-school/3546"}
