The soft floor furniture has added the necessary cushion to life and school that students really need. Each day when we have independent time, students rush to find a soft spot to spread out and get comfortable while they work.\r\n\r\nI know there are some people who wonder whether kids work as well when they are laying or reclining on the floor, as opposed to sitting straight up at a desk. My classroom experience tells me that students work best when they are able to move and sit in ways that work for them. Having flexible seating options during certain times of classwork allows for the autonomy older students need in order to figure out what is best for them.\r\n\r\nAs for my after-school club, these items have come in so handy. At the end of busy week, students love crashing out on the floor for a bit while we chat and catch up on what everyone has been doing. The floor furniture made great seating for the student-led Halloween party with a scary movie and popcorn. \r\n\r\nThank you again so much for providing these items for my classroom and helping to set the vibe for my students now and in the future!","fullyFundedDate":1758636827109,"projectUrl":"project/calm-and-cozy-classroom-seating/9520938/","projectTitle":"Calm and Cozy Classroom Seating","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Flynn","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/272x272/tp4677826_272x272.jpg?width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1503326766812","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/4677826"},{"teacherId":6797077,"projectId":9614451,"letterContent":"what fun we are having with this big whiteboard! it is so smooth and clean, I am so not used to something so perfect to write on! \r\n\r\nThe students were also having fun filling in items and charting their pH.
