I know of a couple of students that will be thrilled to be able to swing alongside their classmates! The addition of the tic-tac-toe panel will be a fun way to play with a peer. In addition, the tic-tac-toe board can be utilized to create patterns for an individual learning experience. We are so grateful for the support of our community as we take our 4-swing swing set to an expanded special needs sensory playground. We hope to post additional requests for sensory panels and musical pieces that will make this a true space for learning and socialization. \r\n\r\nThank you so much!","fullyFundedDate":1790166009188,"projectUrl":"project/let-everyone-swing-and-play-inclusive/10678354/","projectTitle":"Let Everyone Swing and Play: Inclusive Playground","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Turkelson","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/272x272/tp3425843_272x272.jpg?width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1458177215788","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/turkelson"},{"teacherId":3425843,"projectId":10355852,"letterContent":"Although these items seem to be common and simple, the cost really adds up when you buy them all year for your science classroom.

Because of you, my students were able to add an additional futon that helped transform our room into a \"police station\" learning environment.\r\nWith this new futon, we now have three separate investigation stations. Student groups use these spaces to confidentially plan, create, and set up a crime scene somewhere in the school. The separate stations allow teams to spread out, work collaboratively, and keep their crime details confidential so other groups cannot overhear their plans.\r\nOnce the crimes are written and staged somewhere in the school, the groups solve the crimes created by their classmates. This process encourages critical thinking, creativity, communication, and authentic problem-solving. The flexible seating makes students comfortable and engaged while supporting teamwork and focus.\r\nYour support made this immersive, hands-on learning experience possible. Thank you for investing in my students and their excitement for science.","fullyFundedDate":1763590876540,"projectUrl":"project/science-students-in-comfy-seats/9905228/","projectTitle":"Science Students in Comfy Seats","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Sergent","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp579906_orig.jpg?crop=1536,1536,x0,y512&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1741188072039","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/sergent"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_39196","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":1086,"numTeachers":75,"percentFrplEligible":45,"percentAsian":1,"percentBlack":2,"percentWhite":89,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":1,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","percentHawaiianImputed":0,"percentMultiracialImputed":3,"gradesServed":"9 - 12","studentTeacherRatio":"14.5:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":false,"titleOne":false,"metroType":"SUBURBAN","ncesMetroType":"SUBURB_MIDSIZE"},"inStateSupporters":71.8,"schoolId":39196,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Hurricane High School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Hurricane High School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/west-virginia/putnam-county-school-district/hurricane-high-school/39196"}
