My students have really appreciated all of the nice classroom items. They have specifically really enjoyed the science materials. They enjoyed planting and watching the seeds grow in our window as well as playing with all the magnets in our magnetic forces unit. We have not yet had indoor recess so they have not had a chance to play all the fun games. Students have really enjoyed all of the new items and have used them all year so far. We really appreciate your help in our classroom.","fullyFundedDate":1754745673797,"projectUrl":"project/new-supplies-for-a-new-year/9487490/","projectTitle":"New Supplies for a New Year!","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Lemke","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-3_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9244105"},{"teacherId":9252788,"projectId":9167991,"letterContent":"Thank you for your donation. This project has allowed students to comfortably sit and have a sensory friendly environment. The flexible seating allows neurodivergent students to have many different options. The wobble stools allow for flexible movements while working. The rolling stools also allow students to have different options while working. Students also frequently utilize and grab fidgets that help them focus better while quietly allowing movement. \r\n\r\n\r\nWhen students saw all the flexible seating options in my room they were very excited. Students have the choice within their table where they sit. This allows students to have choice and thus accountability for their learning. \r\n\r\nI want to continue developing a sensory friendly environment for my students. This includes soft lighting, flexible seating, fidgets, work options like whiteboards and expos and other things. I am so grateful for this start at creating this amazing space!","fullyFundedDate":1746785803082,"projectUrl":"project/sensory-friendly-math-class/9167991/","projectTitle":"Sensory Friendly Math Class","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Simmons","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-5_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9252788"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_100726","uses�ǿմ�ý":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":763,"numTeachers":30,"percentFrplEligible":37,"percentAsian":0,"percentBlack":0,"percentWhite":54,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":40,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"K - 8","studentTeacherRatio":"25.4:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":false,"titleOne":false,"metroType":"SUBURBAN","ncesMetroType":"SUBURB_LARGE"},"inStateSupporters":80.8,"schoolId":100726,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Foundations Academy on @�ǿմ�ý:","schoolName":"Foundations Academy","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/colorado/27j-schools/foundations-charter-academy/100726"}
