Teaching on Zoom often requires long periods of sitting, and a yoga ball chair promotes active sitting by engaging my core muscles and improving circulation. This subtle movement helps me stay alert and comfortable during lessons, allowing me to bring more energy and attentiveness to my students.\r\n\r\nReading and writing instruction books provide me with valuable tools and strategies to strengthen my literacy instruction in a virtual environment. For reading, these resources give me structured methods for teaching comprehension, vocabulary, and text analysis through online platforms. They help me design engaging lessons that I use to adapt traditional practices—like guided reading or close reading—to the digital classroom. Likewise, writing instruction books help me plan clear, scaffolded writing lessons that I can model for students and guide them through in breakout rooms or shared documents.\r\n\r\nTogether, these materials help me refine my practice and maintain a high level of engagement and instructional quality. The yoga ball chair supports my physical well-being and focus during long online sessions, while the reading and writing books deepen my instructional approach and provide fresh ideas for supporting student growth. With these tools, I am better able to create a positive, engaging, and effective online learning experience for my 6th graders.","fullyFundedDate":1756134040363,"projectUrl":"project/usbe-ai-for-k-12-education-mrs-l/9639327/","projectTitle":"USBE AI for K-12 Education Mrs. L.","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Lacefield","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-1_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/10214521"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_130142","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":460,"numTeachers":null,"percentFrplEligible":8,"percentAsian":1,"percentBlack":0,"percentWhite":73,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":16,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"K - 12","studentTeacherRatio":null,"demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":false,"titleOne":false,"metroType":"URBAN","ncesMetroType":"CITY_SMALL"},"inStateSupporters":83.3,"schoolId":130142,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Lumen Scholar Institute on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Lumen Scholar Institute","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/utah/utah-department-of-education/lumen-scholar-institute/130142"}
