The new wobble stools, and ergonomic chairs have fundamentally transformed our learning environment, directly addressing student needs for movement and comfort while drastically increasing engagement and focus.\r\n\r\nWe are actively using the flexible seating every day, allowing students to choose the best workspace for their bodies and the task at hand. Just last week, during our deep dive into a writing assignment, I observed a student who typically struggles with staying seated utilize a wobble stool. This subtle movement allowed them to remain attentive throughout the entire lesson, resulting in them completing a draft they were truly proud of. When the seating first arrived, the students were beyond excited! Their faces lit up, and they immediately wanted to test out all the options, instinctively choosing the right tools for their comfort. They now understand that choosing their seat is a privilege tied to self-regulation—a critical life skill your generosity has helped foster.\r\n\r\nYour contribution has done more than provide chairs; it has created an atmosphere of choice and comfort that promotes focused learning. Moving forward, the students' next steps are to utilize this dynamic environment to collaborate effectively on our upcoming math project. The seating will ensure they can comfortably work together and maintain stamina for these complex, sustained tasks. Thank you for investing in a space where every student can find the physical comfort they need to achieve their highest academic potential.","fullyFundedDate":1760997954454,"projectUrl":"project/flexible-seating/9844412/","projectTitle":"Flexible Seating","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Jones","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-8_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/10305015"},{"teacherId":10305015,"projectId":9800758,"letterContent":"We are overjoyed to share the tremendous impact your generosity has had on our fifth-grade classroom! The math and reading intervention games you funded are now being used daily, transforming our dedicated intervention time into the most engaging part of the school day. These aren't just games; they are powerful tools for reinforcing foundational skills and building student confidence.\r\n\r\nWe are currently utilizing the Pop to Win Math Game and the Capture the Flag Reading Comprehension Game in small-group settings. For instance, in math, students who were struggling with multiplying Decimals are now confidently mastering the steps by competing in friendly game rounds, making abstract concepts concrete. A few weeks ago, when the games arrived, the students' reaction was incredible! They were eager to open the boxes and immediately wanted to know the rules. One student exclaimed, \"This is the first time I've ever asked to play a math game!\" This shift in attitude has been the greatest success—they are now actively choosing to practice.\r\n\r\nYour contribution has provided a critical, hands-on component to our intervention block, replacing worksheets with meaningful interaction. Moving forward, the next step for our students is to use the math games to help them transition their practiced skills into their next major project, multi-step word problems. Thank you for giving our students resources that empower them to learn through play, ensuring that targeted intervention is both fun and highly effective.","fullyFundedDate":1760750016727,"projectUrl":"project/ms-jones-classroom/9800758/","projectTitle":"Ms. Jones Classroom","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Jones","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-8_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/10305015"},{"teacherId":8380537,"projectId":9119197,"letterContent":"I am no longer at Crismon Elementary but my former student who has become a music educator is teaching at my former post.
