Your contribution has made a lasting impact on our program, and we are deeply grateful.\r\n\r\nWe also see the benefits of physical activity extend beyond the field. When students are active, their energy, mental clarity, and focus in the classroom improve dramatically. They return from PE more engaged, ready to learn, and better equipped to succeed academically, all thanks to opportunities like this.","fullyFundedDate":1755748217450,"projectUrl":"project/we-love-soccer/9514300/","projectTitle":"We Love Soccer!","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Krejdovsky","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp5926531_orig.jpg?crop=1:1,smart&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1685804027036","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/5926531"},{"teacherId":310718,"projectId":9218006,"letterContent":"Thank you so much for your generous support of our classroom!

The excitement on their faces as they choose their perfect spot for reading, writing, and collaborating is priceless.\r\n\r\nSince implementing these flexible seating options, I have noticed a remarkable difference in my students' focus and enthusiasm for learning. They love having the ability to choose a workspace that best suits their needs, whether it's sitting on a cozy cushion with a book, using a lap desk to write, or working together at the floor table. This simple yet powerful change has fostered greater independence, collaboration, and a sense of ownership over their learning.
