Students have been enjoying being able to sit quietly on the floor to do their independent work. They've also been pulling up wobble seats to sit together during partner time. Our friends with tippy-tappy feet have the wobble seats they can put on the floor in front of them to bounce their toes without distracting their classmates.\r\n\r\nWe are wiggly! We want to spread out! But throughout all of that, we still want to learn. These flex seats are giving my students choices for how they will best learn and work, and we could not have done it without you.","fullyFundedDate":1743774010261,"projectUrl":"project/flex-seats-to-flex-our-brains/9108830/","projectTitle":"Flex Seats to Flex Our Brains","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Landau","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/272x272/tp4110581_272x272.jpg?width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1480448839180","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/s-landau"},{"teacherId":9228725,"projectId":8577052,"letterContent":"The math manipulatives funded through this project have made a tremendous difference in how my students understand and engage with math. Being able to physically move, group, and visualize numbers helped make abstract concepts—like place value, fractions, and multiplication—much more concrete and accessible. Students who previously felt overwhelmed by numbers were suddenly excited to explore, build, and explain their thinking using hands-on tools. These manipulatives turned math into something they could see and touch, not just something on a worksheet.\r\n\r\nHaving these materials also supported the wide range of learning styles in my classroom. Visual and kinesthetic learners, in particular, showed significant improvement in their confidence and ability to solve problems independently. The manipulatives made it easier for all students to participate in math conversations, justify their reasoning, and take risks without fear of getting the \"wrong\" answer. Thanks to your support, math time has become one of the most interactive and joyful parts of our day!","fullyFundedDate":1727462880747,"projectUrl":"project/marvelous-mathemagicians/8577052/","projectTitle":"Marvelous Mathemagicians","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Kataria","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp9228725_orig.jpg?crop=1:1,smart&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1754363261688","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/mrs-kataria"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_41567","uses�ǿմ�ý":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":532,"numTeachers":31,"percentFrplEligible":64,"percentAsian":4,"percentBlack":20,"percentWhite":15,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":53,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"K - 5","studentTeacherRatio":"17.2:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"URBAN","ncesMetroType":"CITY_LARGE"},"inStateSupporters":66.2,"schoolId":41567,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Samuels Elementary School on @�ǿմ�ý:","schoolName":"Samuels Elementary School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/colorado/denver-public-school-district-1/samuels-elementary-school/41567"}
