The flexible seating was used as a seating option for students who have a hard time focusing or just find the normal seating uncomfortable.\r\n\r\nThe students loved the flexible seating. When they say the stools they instantly ran to them and everyday since, they want to be first to class to call \"dibs\" on their favorite seat. The students also like having \"adult\" scissors, many students struggle to cut things with the small scissors as their hands are larger so these made it a bit more comfortable.\r\n\r\nWe are going full STEM ahead this upcoming school year so we are going to be doing a lot of hands on projects. We will incorporate robotics, crafts, and more! We look forwards to exploring more into STEM!\r\n\r\nThank you again for your generous donation!","fullyFundedDate":1744032876320,"projectUrl":"project/flexible-stools-in-science/9104973/","projectTitle":"Flexible Stools in Science","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Lollar","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp9086841_orig.jpg?crop=1:1,smart&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1687991089272","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9086841"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_6671","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":243,"numTeachers":31,"percentFrplEligible":95,"percentAsian":0,"percentBlack":72,"percentWhite":6,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":14,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"6 - 8","studentTeacherRatio":"7.8:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"RURAL","ncesMetroType":"RURAL_FRINGE"},"inStateSupporters":38.2,"schoolId":6671,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Whale Branch Middle School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Whale Branch Middle School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/south-carolina/beaufort-county-school-district/whale-branch-middle-school/6671"}
