We are now on our 4th week of school, and my wobble stools have been a lifesaver. My students who are typically hyperactive and inattentive completely turn it around when it comes to having a wobble stool. It gives them a productive outlet for their energy. While the stools were originally intended to be used at my small group table, I find my students with ADHD asking to use them during instruction to help them focus. I am so excited for the remainder of the school year, and I'm sure my students are too, with all of our goodies.","fullyFundedDate":1750774667985,"projectUrl":"project/alternative-seating/9415567/","projectTitle":"Alternative Seating","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Stone","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-10_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9898959"},{"teacherId":5010872,"projectId":8247002,"letterContent":"Thank you so much for donating to our classroom!
