My students were so excited for the arrival of the items. They were amazed by how many pieces there were and how many different things they could build. \r\n\r\nWe now use the building sets almost every day. The blocks have also become something students ask for daily. Many students use them not just for building, but as a positive way to reset and refocus. When a student is feeling overwhelmed, restless, or off-task, spending a few minutes building helps them calm their mind, concentrate, and get back on track. For several students, this has become an incredibly helpful tool for self-regulation and focus, allowing them to return to their learning feeling more confident and ready to participate.\r\n\r\nThank you for giving my students this opportunity. Your support has brought creativity, focus, and excitement into our classroom, and it's helping my 5th graders grow as problem solvers, teammates, and confident learners.","fullyFundedDate":1760458473005,"projectUrl":"project/building-bright-minds-with-stem/9784773/","projectTitle":"Building Bright Minds with STEM!","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Parker","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp8889559_orig.jpg?crop=1365,1365,x0,y186&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1670297978916","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/8889559"},{"teacherId":8889559,"projectId":9613239,"letterContent":"Thank you so much for supporting our project. My 5th graders are full of curiosity, creativity, and energy, and these stools are already making a noticeable difference in how they learn. When the students first saw them, they were excited in the most genuine way—testing them out, moving them around, and immediately asking if they could use them for group work.\r\n\r\nWe've been using the stools during reading groups, math rotations, and our natural disasters unit. They've helped students settle into small groups quickly and comfortably, which keeps them more focused on the learning and less on the logistics of rearranging the room. During a recent science activity, students naturally grabbed the stools, formed tight circles around their materials, and got right to work. It felt like the flexible seating matched their energy and how they naturally collaborate.\r\n\r\nMany of my students face challenges outside of school, but in our classroom, they shine—asking thoughtful questions, helping one another, and jumping into hands-on activities. These stools support that. They allow students to move, join groups, and create their own workspaces, which builds important skills like communication, teamwork, and independence.\r\n\r\nYour support genuinely transformed our classroom. You gave my students tools that make learning more comfortable, more collaborative, and more accessible. Thank you for helping create a space where every child feels supported and excited to learn.","fullyFundedDate":1755722821653,"projectUrl":"project/flexible-seating-for-focused-5th-graders/9613239/","projectTitle":"Flexible Seating for Focused 5th Graders","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Parker","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp8889559_orig.jpg?crop=1365,1365,x0,y186&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1670297978916","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/8889559"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_77694","uses�ǿմ�ý":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":850,"numTeachers":60,"percentFrplEligible":36,"percentAsian":2,"percentBlack":15,"percentWhite":66,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":7,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"Pre-K - 5","studentTeacherRatio":"14.2:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":false,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"SUBURBAN","ncesMetroType":"SUBURB_LARGE"},"inStateSupporters":92.5,"schoolId":77694,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Central Elementary School on @�ǿմ�ý:","schoolName":"Central Elementary School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/missouri/francis-howell-school-district/central-elementary-school/77694"}
