They were drawn to the soft wobble stools, scoop rockers, and cozy cushions like magnets—instinctively trying each one out and immediately settling in with their work. One student whispered, \"I love this spot. It helps me think better.\" And just like that, the room felt different—more calm, more focused, more theirs.\r\nThese flexible seating materials have transformed how we move through our day. Now, students make thoughtful choices about where and how they learn best. Some wiggle and bounce as they build words with magnetic letters, while others stretch out on the floor with a clipboard during writing time. We even had a full-circle discussion about what it means to choose a workspace that helps—not distracts—your brain. The new furniture has created more than physical comfort—it's fostering independence, self-regulation, and ownership of learning.\r\nAs we move into our upcoming STEM unit, these flexible seats will be especially helpful for hands-on investigations and collaborative teamwork. Thank you for believing in the power of joyful, responsive learning environments. Your gift is helping every child feel seen, supported, and empowered to do their best thinking each day.","fullyFundedDate":1758833493672,"projectUrl":"project/wiggle-work-and-learn-flexible-seatin/9596395/","projectTitle":"Wiggle, Work, and Learn: Flexible Seating for Every Learner","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Frizz","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-7_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9800212"},{"teacherId":9800212,"projectId":9623967,"letterContent":"Thank you so much for helping keep our kids warm, dry, and ready to play — no matter the weather!\r\nWhen our big box of rain gear arrived, my students were beyond excited. The bibs and boots were just their size, and it didn't take long before they were stomping through puddles with huge smiles on their faces. One student looked up at me and said, \"Now we can go outside even when it's muddy!\" — and that one sentence really sums it up. These materials are helping us say yes to more outdoor learning and play, which is so important for both physical and social-emotional growth.\r\nWe've already used our new rain gear for nature walks, puddle play, and outdoor movement games. It's given us the freedom to stay active and curious even when the weather isn't perfect. Our next step is to pair this gear with our upcoming \"STEM in the Mud\" project — which will allow us to explore sensory science, water flow, and natural materials with real intention and joy.\r\nYour generosity helped make our outdoor classroom feel safe, inviting, and fun.

We use the tablets during center rotations, and every student gets a chance to engage with them on a regular basis. This has been an incredible tool—not just for skill-building, but for giving me deeper insight into each child's learning needs.\r\nWith the support of this technology, I'm able to see where students are thriving and where they need extra help. Whether they're working on early reading skills, number fluency, or just practicing focus and independence, I can use what I observe during tablet time to adjust my instruction and better support each learner. It's been especially powerful for differentiation—giving students activities that are just right for their level, while allowing others to stretch and grow.\r\nThe excitement is real—students light up when it's their turn to use the tablets. For some of my more hesitant learners, this has been a confidence boost, giving them a new way to engage and feel successful.
