When the boxes for our \"Wiggle and Learn\" project arrived, my students were buzzing with excitement. As we unveiled the new flexible seating and movement resources, one of my students literally jumped for joy, exclaiming, \"Is this for our classroom forever?\" Seeing their eyes light up was a beautiful reminder of how much it means to them to have high-quality resources that support their unique learning needs.\r\n\r\nWe have already put these resources to work during our daily lessons. For instance, during a recent small-group reading session, several students used the new wobble cushions while focusing on their phonics work. I noticed an immediate difference in their ability to stay on task; the subtle movement allowed them to channel their energy productively while staying deeply engaged with the text. These tools have truly turned our classroom into a more dynamic and inclusive space where every student feels comfortable and ready to learn.\r\n\r\nLooking ahead, we are starting a new unit on triple digit addition. With these resources, my students now have the freedom to choose the learning spot that helps them do their best work. Our next step is to practice using our \"focus tools\" during independent work time to see how different seating options affect our concentration. Thank you for giving my students the gift of movement and for being such a vital part of our classroom community!\r\n\r\nWith gratitude, Ms. Lubian","fullyFundedDate":1759428878142,"projectUrl":"project/wiggle-and-learn/9746784/","projectTitle":"Wiggle and Learn","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Lubian","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-7_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/8343093"},{"teacherId":1503718,"projectId":10041872,"letterContent":"I am deeply grateful for your generous support of my Beginning Readers Project.
