When the chair arrived, my students were excited and curious. They were eager to see it and take turns trying it. For many of my students, having the right seating is very important. This chair helps reduce sensory overload, supports better posture, and provides a safe and stable place to sit. Because of this, my students are able to stay seated longer, feel more comfortable, and focus better during activities.\r\n\r\nWe are using the chair every day during circle time, table work, and small group instruction. It has become an important part of our classroom routine. With the added support, my students are better able to participate in lessons, practice early learning skills, and build independence. As we continue working on communication, social skills, and early academic goals, this chair will help create a calm and supportive learning environment where all of my students can grow and succeed.\r\n\r\nThank you for supporting our classroom and helping provide tools that meet the unique needs of our learners. Your kindness truly makes a difference in their daily experiences at school.","fullyFundedDate":1771010776719,"projectUrl":"project/comfortable-and-ready-to-learn-on-my-cha/9853663/","projectTitle":"Comfortable and Ready to Learn on my Chair","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Vega","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp3656554_orig.jpg?crop=1200,1200,x0,y364&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1724258897812","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/3656554"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_31205","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":52,"numTeachers":null,"percentFrplEligible":65,"percentAsian":1,"percentBlack":20,"percentWhite":32,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":41,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"Not specified","studentTeacherRatio":null,"demographicsDataSource":"MDR District Weighted Average","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":false,"metroType":"TOWN","ncesMetroType":null},"inStateSupporters":90.0,"schoolId":31205,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Achievement Academy - Bartow on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Achievement Academy - Bartow","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/florida/polk-county-school-district/achievement-academy/31205"}
