The excitement was contagious the moment students walked in and saw these new additions. Their faces absolutely lit up.\r\n\r\nAt the beginning of each class, I now have a small group of eager students come up to \"check out\" one of the new flexible seating options. What has been most impressive is how respectful and responsible they've been about taking turns and sharing — something that, as any middle school teacher knows, can be quite the challenge with 8th graders!\r\n\r\nThe impact on focus and engagement has been noticeable from day one. Students who previously struggled to sit still or stay on task are now able to channel that movement in a positive way. The wobble stools allow for subtle motion that helps students regulate their energy and stay attentive during lessons, while the standing desks give others the freedom to move, stretch, and stay physically comfortable as they work. These options have truly made learning more accessible and enjoyable for all kinds of learners.\r\n\r\nBeyond the physical benefits, these new tools have fostered a greater sense of ownership and independence. Students are making choices about how they learn best — standing, sitting, or gently wobbling — and in turn, they are more engaged, focused, and productive.\r\n\r\nYour generosity has not only enhanced our classroom environment but has also empowered my students to take charge of their learning. Because of you, they feel seen, supported, and valued. These standing desks and wobble stools will continue to serve hundreds of students in the years to come, giving every new class the same opportunity to learn in a space designed for their success.\r\n\r\nFrom the bottom of my heart, thank you for investing in our classroom, our students, and their futures. Your kindness and generosity have truly made a lasting difference. The only way we can repay you is by using these resources every day to become stronger, more focused, and more successful learners.","fullyFundedDate":1757281036036,"projectUrl":"project/flexible-seating-supports-all-learners/9624852/","projectTitle":"Flexible Seating Supports All Learners","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Salcedo","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-8_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9517854"},{"teacherId":10050993,"projectId":9399313,"letterContent":"Over the past three years, I've been actively transforming my 7th Grade Language Arts classroom into a kinesthetic environment. I've started to incorporate brain breaks, fidgets, active movement to support learning, gestures, and groups. While I know that the implementation of movement into my classroom has improved student learning, I underestimated the impact of our new wobble chairs. \r\nWhen the chairs arrived, my students were ecstatic. They could hardly wait to start using them. I established a slideshow with some rules for using the chairs and a schedule for the students to have equal access to the chairs. On the first day I posted the schedule, my students were so excited to start using them. Since then, they have been so responsible about getting the chairs, stacking their other chairs, and putting the chairs away at the end of each class period. During class, the students enjoy non-distracting movement while focusing on their Language Arts tasks. The wobble chairs are like a huge fidget, providing movement and enhancing focus, while keeping the students' hands free, allowing them to write, type, and participate in class activities. An added bonus--they no longer lean back in their regular chairs, causing undue stress on their structure. \r\nWithout the generous donations of my friends and family, the school family, and the many donors associated with Donors Choose, the addition of wobble chairs to my classroom would not have been possible. I cannot begin to express my gratitude and the gratitude of my students. The chairs are transforming the learning environment, and the students are more focused and excited to be in the classroom.","fullyFundedDate":1755736773798,"projectUrl":"project/weeble-wobbles-wobble-but-they-dont-fa/9399313/","projectTitle":"Weeble Wobbles Wobble, But They Don't Fall Down!","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Root","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp10050993_orig.jpg?crop=271,271,x204,y254&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1749161765774","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/10050993"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_61747","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":814,"numTeachers":45,"percentFrplEligible":13,"percentAsian":18,"percentBlack":0,"percentWhite":56,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":14,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"6 - 8","studentTeacherRatio":"18.1:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":false,"titleOne":false,"metroType":"SUBURBAN","ncesMetroType":"SUBURB_LARGE"},"inStateSupporters":94.3,"schoolId":61747,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Rolling Hills Middle School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Rolling Hills Middle School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/california/buckeye-union-school-district/rolling-hills-middle-school/61747"}
