Being able to move their bodies during lessons has helped students focus and get their wiggles out. Regulation is not one thing and using the wobble stools specifically has helped my students get their needs met in order to learn. \r\n\r\nWhen the students saw the materials, they got excited and wanted to us them immediately. One student specifically, went and grabbed a book to read sitting on the inflatable donuts. I have attached a picture to showcase the love of the donuts. Overall, students in special education deserve access to tools that will help them access their environment as their typically developing peers. Your donation has helped my students with significant disabilities learn in ways that work for them while moving their bodies. This is much appreciated and I am grateful for your donation.","fullyFundedDate":1746785354465,"projectUrl":"project/flexible-seating-supports-learning/9217398/","projectTitle":"Flexible Seating Supports Learning!","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Kelly","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-4_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/8145527"},{"teacherId":7205521,"projectId":9111882,"letterContent":"It may be hard to imagine how a Chromebook charger can make an sizeable impact in a 3rd grade classroom.
