The moment it arrived, the excitement was contagious—my students couldn't wait to see it set up and ready to use. Since then, they've really enjoyed sitting together at the table, collaborating with one another, and making the most of their classwork time. The table has provided a comfortable space for them to engage in meaningful conversations, share ideas, and support each other, all while staying focused on their tasks.\r\n\r\nBeyond the student interactions, the table has also been incredibly helpful for me as I work with small groups. It allows me to get up close with students who need additional support, giving them more individualized attention when necessary. Whether it's helping them understand a challenging concept or providing extra guidance, the table's design makes it easier for me to connect with my students on a deeper level. We're all so grateful for this new addition, as it has truly transformed our classroom dynamic and helped foster a more collaborative and supportive learning environment.","fullyFundedDate":1731007271549,"projectUrl":"project/ms-bs-beautiful-bean-table/8714223/","projectTitle":"Ms. B’s Beautiful Bean Table","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Boccella","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp9561061_orig.jpg?crop=1:1,smart&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1717297214927","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9561061"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_89610","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":748,"numTeachers":52,"percentFrplEligible":35,"percentAsian":3,"percentBlack":7,"percentWhite":78,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":5,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"6 - 8","studentTeacherRatio":"14.4:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":false,"titleOne":false,"metroType":"SUBURBAN","ncesMetroType":"SUBURB_LARGE"},"inStateSupporters":90.5,"schoolId":89610,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Northley Middle School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Northley Middle School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/pennsylvania/penn-delco-school-district/northley-middle-school/89610"}
