My students can move around, stay comfortable, and focus better during lessons. The Expo markers and scissors get used every single day, so having plenty of them means no one's waiting around for supplies, and we can jump right into learning. The Teachers Pay Teachers gift card has also been huge — I've been able to grab fun and interactive activities that keep my students excited about what we're learning.\r\nThe flexible seating is definitely their favorite! They love having the option to sit on cushions, or other fidget-friendly seats instead of just sitting at a desk all day. It makes the classroom feel more comfortable and fun for them, which really helps their focus. The bright markers are also a hit — they love using them on whiteboards for math and writing because it feels more like a game than a lesson.\r\nA few of my students who have a hard time sitting still during lessons are doing so much better with the fidget seating — it lets them move in a way that helps them focus instead of getting distracted. I've also seen some of my quieter students open up more when we're using the markers and interactive activities because it gives them a way to participate without feeling nervous about speaking up.\r\n\r\nEven though not all of the supplies made it to me, everything we did receive has been such a blessing for our classroom and has made learning way more engaging and fun for my students.","fullyFundedDate":1721737950300,"projectUrl":"project/creating-engaging-and-supportive-learnin/8492589/","projectTitle":"Creating Engaging and Supportive Learning Space for Second Graders!","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Tello","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp9078134_orig.jpg?crop=1:1,smart&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1720473730451","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9078134"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_9743","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":654,"numTeachers":44,"percentFrplEligible":70,"percentAsian":12,"percentBlack":17,"percentWhite":22,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":41,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"Pre-K - 5","studentTeacherRatio":"14.9:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"SUBURBAN","ncesMetroType":"SUBURB_LARGE"},"inStateSupporters":85.7,"schoolId":9743,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Abbett Elementary School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Abbett Elementary School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/texas/garland-independent-school-district/abbett-elementary-school/9743"}
