Having the spin chair allowed students to have a break when needed. It provided a space for them to reset, and continue to learn throughout their day. The couch chair also gave students a preferred seating method instead of having to sit on the floor or in a desk chair. \r\n\r\nWhen the materials were brought to the room, immediately two students wanted to go onto the couch chair. The couch chair is a comfy way for students to sit independently and stay in their seat for a longer duration. In the photos you will see students doing their binder work while sitting on the couch chair. There are also multiple students spinning on the chair during choice time or during a break time. I am truly grateful at providing the classroom with these supports to help these students become successful in their school day.","fullyFundedDate":1746785961434,"projectUrl":"project/flexible-seating/9065283/","projectTitle":"Flexible Seating","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Kane","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp8518595_orig.jpg?crop=960,960,x0,y0&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1659389859899","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/8518595"},{"teacherId":4840464,"projectId":8917486,"letterContent":"We appreciate your kind donations in helping us to get our project funded!

The dividers help us block off areas of the classroom and hallway to allow students to get to their destinations without difficulty. \r\n\r\nWhen the dividers arrived the students were so happy and even help staff when its time for them tk be moved around!

With the use of iPads students are able to interact with our curriculum in a way that is more interactive (i.e., will automatically prompt a student if they answer incorrectly, get immediate feedback on work, picture, video, and audio support, etc.). Students are also able to use fun learning games and apps to help facilitate learning.\r\nMost of my students have really taken to using iPads as their primary learning tool.
