Your donation of flexible seating has already made such a positive difference for my kindergarten students. We use our new seating throughout the day during independent work, small-group learning, reading, math activities, and choice time. One of my favorite moments has been watching students choose a spot where they feel comfortable and ready to learn during our literacy and math centers. Having different seating options allows them to move, focus, and take ownership of finding the learning space that works best for them.\r\n\r\nWhen my students first saw the new flexible seating, they were SO excited! Their faces lit up, and they immediately wanted to try every new spot. At five and six years old, having something as simple as a special place to sit can make learning feel exciting and inviting. They were especially proud that these materials were given to our classroom by people who wanted to help them learn and be successful.\r\n\r\nOur next step is continuing to build independence and responsibility as we use these resources. Students are learning how to choose a seating option that helps their bodies stay calm, their minds stay focused, and their learning stay on track. As we move into more challenging reading, writing, and math lessons, our flexible seating will continue to support small-group instruction, partner work, learning centers, and independent practice.\r\n\r\nThank you for investing in my little learners and helping me create a classroom where every child has a comfortable and welcoming place to learn. Your generosity is helping us build not only academic skills, but also independence, confidence, and a love of learning. We are incredibly grateful! ❤️","fullyFundedDate":1534960205814,"projectUrl":"project/flexible-seating-and-school-supplies/3352733/","projectTitle":"Flexible Seating and School Supplies","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Beattie","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/272x272/tp2463396_272x272.jpg?width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1522798315829","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/lindseye"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_53650","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":366,"numTeachers":28,"percentFrplEligible":64,"percentAsian":12,"percentBlack":6,"percentWhite":41,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":25,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","percentHawaiianImputed":0,"percentMultiracialImputed":12,"gradesServed":"Pre-K - 5","studentTeacherRatio":"13.1:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"SUBURBAN","ncesMetroType":"SUBURB_LARGE"},"inStateSupporters":52.4,"schoolId":53650,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Jenkins Creek Elementary School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Jenkins Creek Elementary School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/washington/kent-school-district-415/jenkins-creek-elementary-school/53650"}
