They love to spread out around the room to sit in this flexible seating without having to be uncomfortable.\r\n\r\nIn addition, students love using the mini tables on the floor. I actually had to set up a rotation because kids started fighting about who got to use them when. It allows students work work on the floor with their cushions AND have something to write on. I have a lot of clipboards, but this provides another alternative. Kids even love playing games on them!\r\n\r\nYour impact on our class has been profound. When the order got approved, the kids were so excited that strangers were willing to support our classroom. The joy on their faces when the packages were delivered can't be put into words. Thank you for making my kids feel so special and providing them with more comfortable, flexible work spaces.","fullyFundedDate":1757423218009,"projectUrl":"project/flexible-work-space/9491128/","projectTitle":"Flexible Work Space","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Arndt","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp4535203_orig.jpg?crop=1309,1309,x0,y78&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1679496277864","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/4535203"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_38140","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":1399,"numTeachers":85,"percentFrplEligible":92,"percentAsian":1,"percentBlack":6,"percentWhite":63,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":20,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"Pre-K - 8","studentTeacherRatio":"16.5:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":false,"metroType":"URBAN","ncesMetroType":"RURAL_FRINGE"},"inStateSupporters":84.4,"schoolId":38140,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Gifford School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Gifford School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/wisconsin/racine-unified-school-district/gifford-elementary-school/38140"}
