These bright, sturdy cubes have become an essential part of our daily learning routines. We use them for everything—small-group instruction, partner reading, and independent centers. Their versatility allows students to easily adjust their seating or workspace, giving them more independence and helping our classroom transition smoothly between activities.\r\n\r\nThe moment the students saw the cubes, their faces lit up. They immediately noticed the vibrant colors and began exploring all the ways they could flip and rearrange them. Several students said the new cubes made our classroom \"feel like a fun learning playground.\" For many of my students, having furniture they can manipulate on their own gives them a new sense of ownership and comfort in our learning space.\r\n\r\nAs we move forward, these cubes will continue to support our work on cooperative learning and hands-on exploration. We are currently diving into new classroom projects that require frequent movement, flexible seating, and collaboration—and the cubes make those transitions seamless. Your support hasn't just added furniture to our classroom; it has created new possibilities for how we learn, collaborate, and imagine together. Thank you for investing in our students' growth and giving them tools that make every day more engaging.","fullyFundedDate":1756397262132,"projectUrl":"project/flexible-seating-for-focused-learners-in/9625069/","projectTitle":"Flexible Seating for Focused Learners in Our Autism Classroom","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Schimmel","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp7176071_orig.png?crop=606,606,x0,y10&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1584767883584","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/accessforall"},{"teacherId":8335258,"projectId":9233843,"letterContent":"Thank you for your generous contribution to revamping our class library.
