The students are in love with these green wiggle chairs. These chairs have been perfect at keeping students in their seats and focused on the work they have to get done. They are no longer walking around my classroom because they need to get their wiggles out. They can now just wiggle and spin their chairs right at their table. I also have 5 students in my classroom who have IEPs that suggest using flexible seating to help keep them focused. I now have these wiggle chairs that I can provide for my students to help them succeed in the classroom. \r\n The headphones are one of the best brands I have seen. They all work and fit perfectly on my second graders. This helps keep the classroom noise to a minimum and students are able to hear and focus on their computer assignments.","fullyFundedDate":1778199868757,"projectUrl":"project/headphones-and-chairs/10079711/","projectTitle":"Headphones and Chairs","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Shaloo","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-6_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/8367490"},{"teacherId":9989402,"projectId":9700755,"letterContent":"Thank you so much for your donation!
