The moment the students walked in and saw the new seating choices, their faces lit up with excitement.\r\nIndividual students use the wobble chair product and the whole class has been using the seating during small-group rotations. During a recent writing activity, I watched a student who usually struggles to stay focused sit with the wobble stool. He stayed engaged for the entire session, proudly sounding out his words while gently moving. Another group curled up on our floor cushions to read together, and for the first time, I noticed quieter students eagerly participating in partner reading.\r\nThese flexible options have helped students find the seating style that works best for their bodies and learning needs. We're seeing longer periods of focus, more collaborative conversations, and an overall calmer, more joyful classroom environment.\r\nThank you for giving my students a learning environment that truly supports their growth, comfort, and independence.

They immediately began planning how to use the materials in social studies and beyond. Our students were able to put the materials to use right away.

Students especially enjoyed using the Crayola Colors of the World colored pencils whenever drawing representations of themselves. \r\n\r\nStudent success on tests and quizzes has increased partly due to the availability of paper. Physical study guides and more visual aids have helped learning history come alive for my students.
