From the moment my students walked in and saw the new seating options, their excitement was contagious. They were immediately drawn to the different choices and couldn't wait to explore where they felt most comfortable learning. It was clear from the beginning that this change would do more than improve comfort—it would empower student choice and foster a more engaging learning environment.\r\n\r\nWe've already seen the impact during group projects and independent work. For example, during a recent computer science unit with pair programming, students were able to move around the room freely, choosing spots that helped them focus and collaborate more effectively. Some preferred quiet corners, while others gathered around low tables. \r\n\r\nThank you for making this possible. Your support didn't just provide furniture; it gave my students the freedom to learn in ways that suit their needs, helping them feel valued, focused, and inspired. I'm so grateful to you for believing in our classroom and being a part of this journey.","fullyFundedDate":1753892347220,"projectUrl":"project/flexible-seating/9491534/","projectTitle":"Flexible Seating","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Luna","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp9365713_orig.jpg?crop=629,629,x0,y0&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1753226433854","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9365713"},{"teacherId":306989,"projectId":8822639,"letterContent":"Your generousity has made such a positve impact on the students in Drama Club!

The students have been working so hard on learning their lines, projecting their voices, and acting out their characters. When they put on the costumes that your donation purchased, those characters really come alive. Their confidence level has increased so much and there is no more nervousness about being on stage.

The supplies you've blessed my class with have helped them be confident in gaining knowledge, wisdom, and understanding.

I have students who at the end of the day say that learning is fun and they don't wish to go home!\r\n The special chairs for my student who has medical issues have been a complete blessing. My student feels included when it's time to sit on the map with the other students and have \"center time\" or \"calendar time\". He feels as if he's an active part of our family. That's because of the blessings that you've provided for my class. \r\n The headphones have been a gift because they are used with a new program introduced to our school. It's called \"My Math/Reading Academy\". With the headphones, my students can hear the program and learn from it with clarity.
