They took turns trying them out for the very first time. Since I don't have flexible seating for all my kids so each one gets a flexible seating option all at once, they have to take turns; I make a rotating schedule of who gets what next. They are so excited and can't wait until it is their turn to sit in the new chairs!\r\nThe math manipulative's make it easier for the students to learn with the hands on materials. I feel that the students get a better grasp onto a concept when they are hands on/visual learners. I have students that have fine motor issues and the new division sheets I got help the students with staying lined up in the right columns and makes it less confusing for the students when dividing. The division sheets are nice size so it is easy for the students to see and they are erasable so they can do each problem in them! \r\nMy next steps in my classroom are to keep meeting the needs of each of my students and make learning enjoyable.","fullyFundedDate":1757862458626,"projectUrl":"project/the-classroom-that-everybody-wants-to-be/9607309/","projectTitle":"The Classroom That Everybody Wants to Be In!","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Mehlhaff","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp10065251_orig.jpg?crop=1273,1273,x0,y97&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1755300998860","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/10065251"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_79892","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":247,"numTeachers":6,"percentFrplEligible":34,"percentAsian":2,"percentBlack":0,"percentWhite":93,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":4,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"Pre-K - 12","studentTeacherRatio":"41.2:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":false,"metroType":"RURAL","ncesMetroType":"RURAL_REMOTE"},"inStateSupporters":47.1,"schoolId":79892,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Wishek Public School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Wishek Public School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/north-dakota/wishek-school-district-19/wishek-public-school/79892"}
