Because of your kindness, our GT students now have Hokki stools that have already made a tremendous difference in our learning environment.\r\n\r\nMy students were genuinely overjoyed when they discovered we had Hokki stools in the GT classroom. This program is important to them because it offers the enrichment they deeply crave, something beyond what a traditional classroom can often provide. Adding flexible seating was truly the cherry on top! I could see how much it meant to them, boosting their confidence and excitement for learning in such a meaningful way!\r\n\r\nThe Hokki stools have quickly become a favorite choice during lessons, independent work, and group work. My students love the freedom to move while they learn, and this has helped them stay more focused and engaged. For students who struggle with sitting still, the stools provide just the right amount of movement so they can channel their energy into thinking and creating. For others, the stools have brought a sense of comfort and choice that makes learning feel more personal.\r\n\r\nOur classroom environment has grown more positive because of these stools. Students feel empowered to choose the seating that helps them do their best work, and that autonomy has boosted both their confidence and productivity. I've noticed improved concentration during challenging tasks and greater stamina during long activities.\r\n\r\nYour gift has truly impacted not just the way my students sit, but the way they learn. Thank you for believing in them, and for making our classroom a place where flexible seating supports flexible thinking. We are so grateful!","fullyFundedDate":1748646614672,"projectUrl":"project/flexible-seating-in-the-gt-classroom/9362216/","projectTitle":"Flexible Seating in the GT Classroom","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Baker","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp10037681_orig.jpg?crop=960,960,x0,y105&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1747684749755","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/10037681"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_96346","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":516,"numTeachers":41,"percentFrplEligible":22,"percentAsian":31,"percentBlack":18,"percentWhite":31,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":11,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"K - 5","studentTeacherRatio":"12.6:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":false,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"SUBURBAN","ncesMetroType":"SUBURB_LARGE"},"inStateSupporters":88.2,"schoolId":96346,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Polly Tadlock Elementary School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Polly Tadlock Elementary School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/texas/frisco-independent-school-district/tadlock-elementary-school/96346"}
