When the new seating pillows arrived, my students were beyond excited. The moment I brought them into the classroom, they couldn't stop smiling and asking, \"Can we sit on them today?\" We made a big event out of unpacking them together, and right away, they began choosing their favorite spots around the room to sit and read. It was such a heartwarming moment — the classroom instantly felt more comfortable, cozy, and full of joy.\r\n\r\nNow, the seating pillows have become one of the most loved parts of our reading time. Every day, students grab their favorite pillow, find a quiet spot, and dive into their books. It's amazing to see how something as simple as a comfortable place to sit has transformed the way they read. They're more focused, relaxed, and eager to spend extra time exploring new stories. One of my students even said, \"It feels like reading at home!\" — and that's exactly the environment I hoped to create.\r\n\r\nAs we continue our reading lessons, the pillows are helping build a stronger sense of community and excitement for learning. Students are already asking if we can use them during other subjects too! Your donation has brought comfort, joy, and motivation to our classroom — and we are so grateful. Thank you for helping my students fall in love with reading in such a special way.","fullyFundedDate":1757515601871,"projectUrl":"project/supplies-for-success/9383320/","projectTitle":"Supplies for Success","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Chavez","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-2_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/10045242"},{"teacherId":7878885,"projectId":8956830,"letterContent":"Thank you so much for your generous donation of Wobble Stools to our classroom! From the moment my students walked in and saw their new seats, the energy completely shifted—in the best way. Their faces lit up with curiosity and joy, and several couldn't wait to try them out right away. One student even exclaimed, \"These are like fun chairs that help me wiggle and work!\" It was clear right from the start that these stools were going to make a real difference.\r\n\r\nSince introducing the Wobble Stools, I've noticed a huge improvement in my students' ability to focus and stay engaged during lessons. Many of my first graders are active learners who need to move, especially as they are developing their English language skills and adjusting to new routines. The stools give them the freedom to wiggle in place without being disruptive, and it helps them stay regulated during independent work and small group time. One specific moment that stood out was during a math assessment—usually a tough part of the year—but a student was seated on the Wobble Stool, calm and concentrated, and they produced some of their best work yet!\r\n\r\nAs we continue through the school year, these stools will remain an essential part of our flexible seating options. They support both movement and focus, which is especially important for my students' learning styles and needs. Your support has helped create a more inclusive, comfortable, and engaging classroom where every student can thrive.
