My students use them during whole-group lessons, independent work, and small-group rotations. One of my favorite moments so far was during a writing workshop: a student who normally has a hard time sitting still proudly said, \"I can think better when I can move!\" and proceeded to write more than I've ever seen from him. These chairs have become tools that help students focus, not distractions—and that has been such a powerful shift.\r\n\r\nThank you again for supporting our classroom!

I am a special education teacher who works with all grades of students. This year, I have several kindergarteners who are struggling to learn their letters and numbers. The tools you funded for my classroom have made a difference for them. The magnet sets have allowed each of them to have their own set when we are working on learning letters. \r\n\r\nThe magnetic board has also been an excellent addition to our classroom. I have a student who loves to be the \"teacher,\" and the magnet board makes this possible when we place worksheets or other magnetic letters on it.
