I was unsure if I would receive enough support to complete the project, and I am so touched by your generosity and willingness to help students receive the materials they need to be successful. \r\n\r\nThe flexible seating options and sets of bike pedals have become a fast favorite in my classroom; students ask to use them so much that they have become a full-time seating option for those who prefer not to sit at a desk with a regular chair. The stationary bicycles are such a wonderful option for days when we have to stay inside due to inclement weather or even when a student just needs a little movement break.\r\n\r\nI cannot stress enough how impossible it would have been to offer these materials to my students without your support. From the bottom of my heart, thank you.","fullyFundedDate":1746786468813,"projectUrl":"project/release-the-wiggles-movement-materials/9130177/","projectTitle":"Release the Wiggles!
