My students LOVE the elliptical machines! When I first brought them in, they were instantly intrigued and couldn't wait for their turn to use one. I used them strategically for the students that I knew would benefit the most from the movement during instructional times. We take several brain breaks throughout the day, but those don't necessarily help students focus during the times they should be focused on the teacher. With the elliptical machines, students have a way to keep moving in a way that is not disruptive to their peers.\r\n In speaking with my students, they told me they don't like them, they LOVE them! The ellipticals help them stay focused and move when they can't be out of their seats. I noticed an increase in participation of students with ADHD and Autism during instruction, and they were able to keep up better when taking notes and completing other classwork. \r\n So, to all of you who helped make this project possible, I thank you for allowing my students the ability to stay calm and focused, through movement in the classroom!","fullyFundedDate":1742926095788,"projectUrl":"project/work-it-outelliptical-movement-for-fo/9051197/","projectTitle":"Work it Out...Elliptical Movement for Focus and Educational Achievement!","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Lackie","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/272x272/tp4545321_272x272.jpg?width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1500045651634","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/4545321"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_39164","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":124,"numTeachers":6,"percentFrplEligible":84,"percentAsian":1,"percentBlack":0,"percentWhite":89,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":3,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"Pre-K - 5","studentTeacherRatio":"20.7:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":false,"metroType":"RURAL","ncesMetroType":"RURAL_DISTANT"},"inStateSupporters":89.2,"schoolId":39164,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about West Liberty Elementary School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"West Liberty Elementary School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/west-virginia/ohio-county-school-district/west-liberty-elementary-school/39164"}
