These specially designed stools allow gentle movement, helping students release energy in a quiet, controlled way. This small motion can improve concentration, especially for students who find sitting still challenging. Wobble stools also encourage strong posture and core engagement, which supports overall physical wellness during learning. Most importantly, they provide all students with the opportunity to choose what helps them do their best work—promoting independence, inclusion, and engagement for every learner.\r\nYour donation has made a positive impact for my students, and I greatly appreciate your gift to our classroom!","fullyFundedDate":1742917714158,"projectUrl":"project/flexible-seating-promotes-higher-learnin/9174923/","projectTitle":"Flexible Seating Promotes Higher Learning Outcomes","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Teasdale","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp9418042_orig.jpg?crop=768,768,x98,y0&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1725307464514","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9418042"},{"teacherId":9418042,"projectId":8821334,"letterContent":"The books that you provided to my classroom have made such a positive impact for my diverse group of learners.
