The impact has been incredible! The students are so excited to come to school each day, and the seating has given them a sense of choice and ownership over their learning space. Parents have even told me that their children insist on being on time in the mornings to they can choose their favorite spot. It is wonderful to see this level of enthusiasm about learning.\r\n\r\nSince adding flexible seating, I have noticed such a positive change in engagement and focus. The students are more comfortable, and they enjoy being able to move around and find a spot that helps them learn best. Our classroom feels warm and welcoming, and truly supports all kinds of learners. I am so grateful for your kindness and support in making this dream a reality for my students. Thank you for investing in their education and helping create a classroom environment where every child feels excited to learn.","fullyFundedDate":1749596135509,"projectUrl":"project/sit-wiggle-learn/9402674/","projectTitle":"Sit, Wiggle, Learn!","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Marotto","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp10052202_orig.jpg?crop=1:1,smart&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1749347509055","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/10052202"},{"teacherId":9997715,"projectId":9253231,"letterContent":"Absolutely!

We've already used the art materials in a self-portrait project that celebrated diversity and self-expression. The storage system helped us stay organized, and students love being able to independently grab what they need. The pencils, erasers, glue sticks, and tapes have supported our daily work and creative projects, and having enough for everyone has made a huge difference in classroom flow and student confidence. We read *The Girl Who Never Made Mistakes* during our morning meeting, and it sparked a great conversation about growth mindset. As we move into our next social-emotional unit, we'll use these books and materials to build community and creativity.
