Your contributions of flexible seating, fidget bands, and dry erase whiteboard essentials have made an incredible impact on my students and their learning experience.\r\n\r\nThe flexible seating has created a more comfortable and engaging environment where students are able to choose the seating arrangement that best suits their learning style. This has allowed for increased focus and participation, as students are more in control of how they work best.\r\n\r\nThe fidget bands have been a game changer for some of our students who struggle with staying focused during lessons. These simple tools have provided them with a much-needed outlet, which has significantly improved their concentration and overall classroom engagement.\r\n\r\nAdditionally, the dry erase whiteboard essentials have been essential in allowing my students to participate actively in lessons.
