Now that I'm back in the classroom, I saw how hard it was for most of my students to sit still during the lesson. I thought that flexible seating would be a great solution, but too expensive to afford on my own. That's when I learned about DonorsChoose, and you helped make it happen! \r\n\r\nI didn't tell my students what was happening until boxes started being delivered to our classroom right before Christmas!
