With proper seating, students are more comfortable and able to focus, creating an environment that supports both individual concentration and collaborative group work. This flexible seating allows students to move about the room and work with various students. This creates more engagement during small group learning.\r\n\r\nThe addition of white boards allows for more interactive lessons, giving students opportunities to actively participate, demonstrate their understanding, and receive immediate feedback from teachers and other students. The graphing white boards, in particular, have enhanced instruction in math and science by helping students visualize complex equations and data, turning abstract concepts into concrete representations. Together, these resources have created a more engaging, inclusive, and hands-on learning environment, resulting in improved student confidence, deeper comprehension, and greater academic success.","fullyFundedDate":1757683138394,"projectUrl":"project/flexible-learning-equals-engagement/9589385/","projectTitle":"Flexible learning equals engagement","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Volpe","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp9656578_orig.jpg?crop=4284,4284,x723,y0&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1759668678577","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9656578"},{"teacherId":2991967,"projectId":8918785,"letterContent":"It takes people like you who believe enough in something greater than themselves to make the world a better place for everyone. My students and I can't thank you enough for being two of those people because it means so much more than words can express. \r\n I received the magnetic board that you purchased for me today, Tuesday, March 18, 2025. I had to return the first board because I was delivered a non-magnetic white board. Luckily, return shipping was free and I ended up getting a whiteboard that was a little cheaper than the original so I was able to also purchase 200 sheets of laminating paper as well as magnetic pieces. This project is so beneficial to my teaching. Prior to receiving this board, I had to write my learning goals on the board daily which took up too much of my time. Students need to see these visuals with their learning statements on them in order to commit them to memory. I read the learning goals at the beginning of each lesson to the students and they repeat them back to me. This really seems to help them focus on learning skills properly instead of getting the mindset that they are only in PE to play. I can easily swap out the magnetic sheets with the goals that align with the current PE units. \r\n My students noticed the board right away as well as many of the other teachers at my school. The gym is also used as the cafeteria and I often see students looking at the board during their lunch period. Although I just received the board today, I put it to immediate use. Even some teachers were asking how I was able to get a new whiteboard!!! There are so many activities that I will be able to do with this board! I frequently use visuals and do sorting activities with my students. It will be so easy to magnetize posters and visuals for health class on this board as well. \r\n In conclusion, I was pleasantly surprised and honored that this gift came from former Woodridge students. Again, thank you so much!!! This means so much to me and my students!!","fullyFundedDate":1735487575037,"projectUrl":"project/we-will-easel-y-remember-our-learning-go/8918785/","projectTitle":"We Will Easel-y Remember Our Learning Goals!","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Spremullo","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-4_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/2991967"},{"teacherId":9647041,"projectId":8624583,"letterContent":"I cannot begin to tell you how much I appreciate your generosity in helping fund my project. As a special education teacher, I work with students in grades 3, 4, and 5 working at all different levels. Having access to both the third and fourth grade level Scholastic magazines has already been a huge help in our reading comprehension groups. It is challenging to find materials for students to read that are both at their level and age appropriate while also being engaging. It is great to have these magazines with colored pictures and accompanying videos that the students have already really been enjoying working with. I was also so pleasantly surprised to see how many issues the subscription included. The topics in the magazines are fantastic and relevant to what students are interested in while also educating them on real world topics. We recently read the story about the wildfires in California which the students were able to make connections with with what they have been seeing on TV and in the news. They were concerned for the people in California and by reading this article, were better able to understand what those people are going through. For my animal lovers, we read a story on the pro's and con's of zoos - a topic many students have never pondered over before. Students had to really think about if a zoo was the best life for an animal or is just for human enjoyment? We learned about manatees and the dangers they face from humans and what we can do to help them. It is great to expose students to new topics and expand their knowledge - it makes them more caring and empathetic to know what is happening outside of the bubble of their world. I truly appreciate having these materials and genuinely am looking forward to reading more of them with the kids. Thank you, thank you!","fullyFundedDate":1733282626246,"projectUrl":"project/scholastic-news-read-all-about-it/8624583/","projectTitle":"Scholastic News, Read All About It!","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. B.","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp9647041_orig.jpg?crop=1:1,smart&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1723389762329","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9647041"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_91494","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":257,"numTeachers":21,"percentFrplEligible":29,"percentAsian":11,"percentBlack":3,"percentWhite":48,"percentIndigenous":2,"percentLatinx":26,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"K - 6","studentTeacherRatio":"12.2:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":false,"titleOne":false,"metroType":"SUBURBAN","ncesMetroType":"SUBURB_LARGE"},"inStateSupporters":91.2,"schoolId":91494,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Woodridge Elementary School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Woodridge Elementary School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/rhode-island/cranston-public-school-district/woodridge-elementary-school/91494"}
