From the very first day the seats arrived, the excitement was contagious—students rushed to try out the wobble stools, floor cushions, and lap desks. Many of them immediately said things like,This makes it so much easier to focus and I love that I can choose where I learn best.\r\n\r\nWe are already using the new seating every day. During small-group reading time, students spread out with floor cushions and clipboards, while others prefer wobble stools at our work tables. One memorable moment was when a student who typically struggles to stay seated during lessons chose a wobble stool—and for the first time, was able to participate in the entire activity without needing extra breaks. That sense of accomplishment lit up their face, and it showed just how powerful this change has been.\r\n\r\nThe next step for my students is learning how to self-regulate and choose the seating that helps them be most successful during different types of activities. We're also using this as an opportunity to practice responsibility and care for the materials—students take pride in setting up their learning space and making sure everything is ready for the next group.\r\n\r\nYour support didn't just provide furniture—it created a classroom where movement, choice, and comfort lead to stronger focus and a love of learning. Thank you for giving my students the tools they need to thrive.","fullyFundedDate":1746699612649,"projectUrl":"project/alternative-seating-for-special-needs-cl/9091874/","projectTitle":"Alternative Seating for Special Needs Classroom","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Lawrence","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp9120726_orig.jpg?crop=1:1,smart&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1726436754344","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9120726"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_132501","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":604,"numTeachers":null,"percentFrplEligible":16,"percentAsian":6,"percentBlack":17,"percentWhite":54,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":11,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"Pre-K - 5","studentTeacherRatio":null,"demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":false,"titleOne":false,"metroType":"URBAN","ncesMetroType":"CITY_LARGE"},"inStateSupporters":77.8,"schoolId":132501,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Virginia - Highland Elementary School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Virginia - Highland Elementary School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/georgia/atlanta-public-schools/virginia-highland-elementary-school/132501"}
