The classroom stools arrived right away and have made a big difference by allowing students to choose seating that helps them focus and stay engaged. Having the option to sit on stools encourages movement and collaboration, which has boosted participation and energy throughout the day. Although the rocker chairs we originally planned for weren't available, we ordered mini magnet boards instead—and they have quickly become a fantastic addition to our learning tools.\r\nStudents are loving the mini magnet boards! They use them for everything from solving math problems to brainstorming ideas in small groups. One unforgettable moment was during a recent math lesson where pairs of students eagerly worked on their magnet boards, sharing ideas and correcting each other's work. The boards make learning interactive and hands-on, helping students build confidence and deepen their understanding.\r\nLooking ahead, we plan to continue using both the stools and magnet boards across all subjects. The magnet boards will be especially useful for quick assessments and creative projects in science and literacy, while the stools keep students comfortable and engaged. Your support has truly transformed our classroom into a lively, student-centered space where every learner can thrive. I'm so grateful for your support of our little learners!","fullyFundedDate":1756387034864,"projectUrl":"project/flexible-seating-for-focused-and-happy-s/9415121/","projectTitle":"Flexible Seating for Focused and Happy Second Graders","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Harrison","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp1452043_orig.png?crop=509,509,x34,y0&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1750011528860","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/1452043"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_36304","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":333,"numTeachers":26,"percentFrplEligible":48,"percentAsian":0,"percentBlack":0,"percentWhite":72,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":16,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"Pre-K - 5","studentTeacherRatio":"12.8:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"RURAL","ncesMetroType":"RURAL_FRINGE"},"inStateSupporters":77.8,"schoolId":36304,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Vaughn Elementary School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Vaughn Elementary School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/washington/peninsula-school-district-401/vaughn-elementary-school/36304"}
