The new tables and chairs are now used daily during small-group instruction, independent work, collaborative projects, and hands-on learning activities. Students are able to sit comfortably and focus longer, which has made a noticeable difference in their engagement and productivity.\r\nWhen the students first saw the new furniture, their faces lit up with excitement. Many immediately commented on how comfortable the chairs were and how much they loved having their own workspace. Several students even said it made the classroom feel \"new\" and more like a place where they wanted to learn. That sense of pride and ownership has carried over into their behavior and effort during lessons.\r\nOne special moment was during our group activity time—students were able to work together at the tables without distractions or discomfort. They collaborated more effectively, stayed on task, and showed increased confidence when sharing ideas. The new setup has truly supported both academic learning and positive classroom interactions.\r\nMoving forward, these tables and chairs will continue to support upcoming lessons that focus on cooperative learning, writing projects, and hands-on activities. Students will use them for reading groups, problem-solving tasks, and creative projects that encourage teamwork and critical thinking. Because of your support, our students now have a learning space that meets their needs and helps them do their best every day.\r\nThank you for giving our students more than furniture—you gave them comfort, confidence, and a classroom that supports their success.","fullyFundedDate":1768141156285,"projectUrl":"project/every-student-deserves-a-seat-at-the-tab/9992166/","projectTitle":"Every Student Deserves a Seat at the Table","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Kim Maddox","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp10071815_orig.jpg?crop=1:1,smart&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1751849925639","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/thelearninglab"},{"teacherId":10071815,"projectId":9448032,"letterContent":"The new seating has brought so much joy and energy to our classroom!

The storage cubes have helped keep our classroom tidy, making it easier for students to find what they need quickly.
