Your donations have allowed us to add flexible seating that has already made a meaningful impact on our students' learning experience.\r\n\r\nWhen the students first saw the new seating options, they were excited and eager to try them out. Many of them immediately noticed how much more comfortable they felt, and they took great pride in choosing a spot where they could do their best learning. Since then, students have been using the flexible seating during independent work, small-group instruction, and reading time. I have seen increased focus, engagement, and collaboration as students work in ways that best suit their learning needs.\r\n\r\nAs we continue with our current lessons in reading, writing, and math, the flexible seating is helping students stay engaged for longer periods of time and take more ownership of their learning. Your generosity has truly created a more supportive and inclusive classroom environment.\r\n\r\nThank you for giving our students the tools they need to succeed. We are incredibly grateful for your kindness and investment in our classroom.","fullyFundedDate":1760660501737,"projectUrl":"project/seats-for-success-flexible-seating-for/9699464/","projectTitle":"Seats for Success: Flexible Seating for Focused Learners","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Edington","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-6_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9601570"},{"teacherId":9817302,"projectId":9064837,"letterContent":"My students have been so thankful for new classroom supplies!!
