They have been amazing additions to my classroom environment in fostering welcomeness and flexibility. \r\n\r\nOnce the boxes arrived to my classroom I waited for my students so that we could open them up together. Their faces were full of excitement just like opening presents one gets on their birthday. Once they saw the stools and especially the bean bag they were shouting things like wow that's amazing, we can read there, we can lay there. The joy they felt filled the room with such positive energy and I was eager for them to try the materials out. \r\n\r\nThe bean bag was mostly used at the end of the school year as a reading reward where students took turns reading with a partner. As the school year ended and a new school year has begun, the bean bag has been an emotional support tool for my brand new kinders. When having a tough time from separating from parents it has served as a calm place to lay and breathe, lay and cry for a bit as well as used for others in our calming corner. \r\n\r\nThe stools have been an amazing addition to have students excited to work in small groups with me and my paraeducator. They are eager to get started and take on the challenges ahead. \r\n\r\nOnce again I cannot thank you enough for your generosity and my kinders and I are incredibly grateful to you.","fullyFundedDate":1746786119434,"projectUrl":"project/comfort-and-security-through-flexibly-an/9319358/","projectTitle":"Comfort and Security Through Flexibly and Space","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Vega","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp8572491_orig.jpg?crop=1:1,smart&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1722637270454","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/8572491"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_36847","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":644,"numTeachers":42,"percentFrplEligible":95,"percentAsian":0,"percentBlack":0,"percentWhite":4,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":94,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"1 - 5","studentTeacherRatio":"15.3:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"URBAN","ncesMetroType":"CITY_SMALL"},"inStateSupporters":75.2,"schoolId":36847,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Adams Elementary School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Adams Elementary School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/washington/yakima-school-district-7/adams-elementary-school/36847"}
