The addition of the new floor chairs and bean bag chair has truly transformed our learning environment, and I'm excited to share the impact they've already had on my students.\r\n\r\nThe day the new chairs arrived was nothing short of magical. As soon as the students walked in and saw the cozy new seating options, their faces lit up with excitement. One student even exclaimed, \"Is this really for us?\" They couldn't wait to try them out, and within minutes, we had students curled up with books, writing in journals, and collaborating on group projects — all while comfortably seated and more focused than ever.\r\n\r\nOne specific moment that stands out was during our independent reading time. A student who usually struggles to stay engaged found a quiet corner with the bean bag chair and read for the entire period without needing redirection. Afterward, they told me, \"It feels like my own little reading world.\" It's clear that these new flexible seating options are helping students take ownership of their learning and find comfort in the classroom.\r\n\r\nCurrently, our class is working on a collaborative research project where students are exploring different ecosystems. The floor chairs have made it easy for students to gather in small groups, spread out with their Chromebooks and notes, and dive into learning together. It's been wonderful to see how this small change in classroom setup has encouraged teamwork, focus, and a stronger sense of community.\r\n\r\nThanks to your support, our classroom is now a more inviting, student-centered space — and we are so grateful. We can't wait to show you what we do next!","fullyFundedDate":1746474867317,"projectUrl":"project/alternate-seating-improves-learning/9193527/","projectTitle":"Alternate Seating Improves Learning!","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Lintner","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp9621212_orig.jpg?crop=1:1,smart&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1744122050619","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9621212"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_29397","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":754,"numTeachers":57,"percentFrplEligible":24,"percentAsian":4,"percentBlack":2,"percentWhite":66,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":20,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"K - 5","studentTeacherRatio":"13.2:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":false,"titleOne":false,"metroType":"SUBURBAN","ncesMetroType":"SUBURB_LARGE"},"inStateSupporters":75.7,"schoolId":29397,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Robert Crown Elementary School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Robert Crown Elementary School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/illinois/wauconda-cmty-unit-sd-118/robert-crown-elementary-school/29397"}
