The moment my students walked in and saw them, their faces absolutely lit up. Several students immediately asked, \"Are those for us? Can we try them right now?\" It was such a joyful moment—one that truly showed how much these flexible seating options mean to them.\r\n\r\nWe are now using the wobble chairs daily during small-group instruction, independent work time, and literacy centers. \r\n.\r\nAs we move forward, students will continue using these chairs during our current unit on collaborative research and writing. They're working in teams, and the chairs allow them to stay flexible, focused, and energized while moving between brainstorming, drafting, and sharing ideas. Their confidence and independence continue to grow each day.\r\n\r\nThank you again for giving my students the chance to learn in ways that truly meet their needs. Your kindness has created a ripple of excitement and engagement in our classroom—and we are so grateful.","fullyFundedDate":1758814133618,"projectUrl":"project/wobble-while-you-work-boosting-focus-an/9420679/","projectTitle":"Wobble While You Work: Boosting Focus and Feelings in 6th","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Mosquera","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/272x272/tp48307_272x272.jpg?width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1471456273525","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/48307"},{"teacherId":10061682,"projectId":9427869,"letterContent":"Thank you so much for your continued support.

Folders are instrumental in keeping students organized, allowing them to easily manage their work by subject and develop crucial organizational skills. The 3D erasers serve as highly effective incentives, their novelty and collectibility motivating students and fostering a positive learning environment. At learning centers, the dry erase markers have been a hit, enabling repeated practice and hands-on learning without wasting paper. They're perfect for math problems, writing activities, and educational games, and their ease of use encourages active participation and a growth mindset. Overall, these resources have enhanced both the organization and engagement within our classroom.\r\n\r\nThe arrival of the new resources sparked genuine surprise and heartfelt gratitude from the students. Their eyes widened as they explored the colorful folders, immediately recognizing the potential for keeping their work neatly organized. The 3D erasers, with their whimsical shapes and vibrant colors, elicited gasps of delight and excited chatter, a tangible reward that felt both fun and special. When the dry erase markers were introduced at the learning centers, the students eagerly dove into the activities, thrilled by the ability to practice and correct their work with ease. A chorus of \"thank yous\" echoed throughout the room, a clear indication of their appreciation for these thoughtful additions to their learning environment. It was evident that these resources weren't just materials; they were a source of motivation and a symbol of the care invested in their education.","fullyFundedDate":1733583837260,"projectUrl":"project/empowering-every-student-essential-scho/8655805/","projectTitle":"Empowering Every Student: Essential School Supplies for Success","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Catala-Walsh","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp2476449_orig.png?crop=704,704,x0,y16&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1700514314777","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/ms-catala"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_5600","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":843,"numTeachers":64,"percentFrplEligible":94,"percentAsian":0,"percentBlack":0,"percentWhite":2,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":95,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"Pre-K - 6","studentTeacherRatio":"13.2:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"URBAN","ncesMetroType":"CITY_LARGE"},"inStateSupporters":63.9,"schoolId":5600,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Falconer Elementary School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Falconer Elementary School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/illinois/chicago-public-school-district-299/falconer-elementary-school/5600"}
