Because of your contribution, 45 incredible fourth-grade students with diverse learning needs now have an environment that fosters comfort, engagement, and success. \r\n\r\nThese students thrive in a space that allows them to choose where and how they learn best, and your donation has made that possible. Whether it's a stool, floor cushion, or foldable chair, each seating option gives my students the freedom to focus, collaborate, and grow in a way that meets their unique needs. \r\n\r\nThe clipboards have been a wonderful addition as well because it gives students the freedom to work around the room with a makeshift desktop. My students have looked forward to curling up on a flexible seat and listening to our novel. \r\n\r\nBecause of this project, I've been able to create collaborative learning opportunities, encourage independent work habits, and differentiate instruction more effectively. I've watched students who once struggled with focus now remain engaged for longer periods. Group work has become more dynamic, as students naturally gravitate toward seating options that foster teamwork and discussion. Most importantly, our classroom has become a space where all students feel comfortable and supported in their learning journey. \r\n\r\nSeeing their excitement and increased engagement each day has been truly inspiring. Your support is making a lasting impact on their educational journey, and I am beyond grateful. \r\n\r\nThank you for believing in our classroom and for making a difference in these students' lives!","fullyFundedDate":1732406597279,"projectUrl":"project/you-want-to-sit-where-oh-there-good/8858670/","projectTitle":"You Want to Sit Where?
