{"monthlySchoolDonationEnabled":true,"callToActionDisplayName":"New Braunfels High School","outOfStateSupporters":14.3,"allowSchoolLevelGiving":true,"hasFundedProjects":true,"projectGratitudeData":[{"teacherId":7521430,"projectId":5911402,"letterContent":"Thank you for helping me give my students more choices about where and how they work. Your support provided wobble stools in every classroom, two bean bags, and flexible work areas where students can work from the floor when they need to. My students love having access to the wobble stools, and I have seen a difference in how they settle in and get their work done. They are completing more work, and the work they turn in is more accurate.\r\n\r\nThe wobble stools give students a way to move while staying at their work area. For some of my students, being able to move a little helps them feel more regulated and ready to focus. The two bean bags give students a softer place to sit while they work. When a student needs more room to spread out or is more comfortable working from the floor, they can take their materials with them and keep working on the same assignment. Having those choices available makes it easier to support students in the moment.\r\n\r\nI appreciate that the wobble stools are available in every room. My students move between classrooms during the school day, and having a familiar seating option in each room gives them some consistency as they transition from one class to the next. They know they can choose a seat that lets them move while they work, even when the classroom or the activity changes.\r\n\r\nAs their teacher, I am glad to see a difference in the quality of their work. When students are more comfortable and regulated, they can give more of their attention to the directions and to what the assignment is asking them to do. Having a space that helps them focus gives them a better chance to show what they know. Seeing students finish more of their work and answer more accurately shows me how much the classroom setup can affect their ability to participate.\r\n\r\nThese choices also give my students a chance to learn what works for them. A student might choose a wobble stool when they need to move or choose a bean bag when a softer seat feels better. Another student might do their best work on the floor, where they have more room to lay out their materials. What helps during one activity may be different from what helps during the next. Giving students options lets them practice noticing what they need and choosing a place to work. That is a step toward greater independence.\r\n\r\nThank you for making these options possible for my students. I appreciate that you helped us make a change they can benefit from throughout the school day. When a student needs to move a little, sit somewhere softer, or work from the floor, we have a way to support them while they stay involved in the lesson. Your support has helped me create classrooms where my students can feel more comfortable, stay engaged, and show what they can do. We are grateful for the difference you have made in our classrooms every day.","fullyFundedDate":1643834187693,"projectUrl":"project/job-skills-for-helping-others/5911402/","projectTitle":"Job Skills for Helping Others","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Hatfield","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp7521430_orig.jpg?crop=1767,1768,x0,y0&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1606843918667","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/7521430"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_9861","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":1648,"numTeachers":null,"percentFrplEligible":37,"percentAsian":1,"percentBlack":1,"percentWhite":50,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":43,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","percentHawaiianImputed":0,"percentMultiracialImputed":3,"gradesServed":"9 - 12","studentTeacherRatio":null,"demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":false,"titleOne":false,"metroType":"URBAN","ncesMetroType":"CITY_MIDSIZE"},"inStateSupporters":85.7,"schoolId":9861,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about New Braunfels High School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"New Braunfels High School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/texas/new-braunfels-independent-school-district/new-braunfels-high-school/9861"}
