Your gifts have completely transformed our classroom from a one-size-fits-all environment into a dynamic learning space that empowers students to choose how and where they learn best. I am already seeing incredible impacts on student engagement, focus, and collaboration. Our new resources—which include wobble stools, seat cushions, and chair bands—are used every single day during reading and math centers, independent work time, and small group instruction. My students love Flexible Fridays and any opportunity to use these new resources. I have several students, who often struggle to stay focused at a traditional desk, however, when they use the wobble stools, or chair bands they \"fidget\"quietly as they work. The new seating options allow all of my students to find a comfortable and supportive position that helps them focus and thrive. The first day the materials arrived, the students were absolutely thrilled! Their faces lit up with excitement when they saw the wobble stools, chair bands, and colorful cushions. They were especially excited about the \"wobble stools\" and couldn't believe they were allowed to sit on wobble seats during class. Their immediate reaction was a mix of awe and pure joy. Beyond their excitement, the new resources have also fostered a greater sense of ownership and responsibility in my students. They now take great pride in choosing their own seating and ensuring the materials are cared for, which builds their self-awareness and self-regulation skills. Your generosity has given our students more than just new seating options; it has given them a voice in their own learning and created a classroom community where every student feels comfortable, supported, and engaged. I am so appreciative for your investment in my students' well-being and academic success.","fullyFundedDate":1746470640352,"projectUrl":"project/flexible-seating-to-promote-healthy-and/9121424/","projectTitle":"Flexible Seating to Promote Healthy and Engaging Learning","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Long","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp8349432_orig.jpg?crop=1:1,smart&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1740092969067","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/8349432"},{"teacherId":2380949,"projectId":9566325,"letterContent":"Thanks to your generous support, our classroom has been transformed with exciting new resources that are already making a difference in our students' learning experiences.

Their eyes lit up with enthusiasm the moment they first saw the materials — it was truly a joyful and memorable moment.\r\nYour contribution gave them a peek into a world of hands-on learning and discovery, and I'm thrilled to share that we are now building on this momentum.
