The bouncy chairs, wobble seats, and therapy ball chairs you helped provide have made a tremendous difference in our daily learning experience. Each morning, students choose the seating option that best matches how they're feeling that day. This small act of choice has had a big impact—giving them a sense of autonomy and helping them learn to identify and take care of their own needs. The movement and sensory input from these seats also support focus and engagement, allowing students to stay on task for longer periods of time and participate more meaningfully in lessons.\r\n\r\nThe desk dividers have been another game changer. With reduced distractions, students are able to focus more deeply on their work. In fact, during a recent math assessment, every student showed measurable growth—with scores increasing by at least 18% when given the privacy to concentrate and solve problems independently. Additionally, the classroom supplies you provided—folders, laminating sheets, binder rings, and sheet protectors—have sparked a new level of creativity and pride in our students. They are eager to design and share their projects, taking ownership of their learning in ways that are both meaningful and joyful.\r\n\r\nYour generosity has created a focused, flexible, and inspired classroom environment where students are empowered to learn. Thank you for believing in them and for helping make our classroom a place where every child can succeed.","fullyFundedDate":1746764286814,"projectUrl":"project/flexible-seating-for-focused-learning/9284445/","projectTitle":"Flexible Seating For Focused Learning","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Straub","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/272x272/tp3337778_272x272.jpg?width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1449011866254","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/straub-denver"},{"teacherId":8648965,"projectId":9580826,"letterContent":"Thank you so much for your contributions to our classroom! My students and I are so grateful to not only have the essentials but also some extra resources. I was able to use my teachers pay teachers gift card to purchase supplementary curricular materials. Additionally, having new headphones (that actually work!) has been so helpful for my students when we engage in online learning programs. The chart paper has also allowed me to make some helpful math posters.\r\n\r\nMy students are utilizing the highlighters to code their writing and writing exemplars. Our new dry erase markers are often utilized in math on personal whiteboards. We have noise cancelling headphones for independent work time as well.\r\n\r\nFor some of my students, food security is vital to their focus. Having healthy snacks available has been great for their social emotional needs. My students have also been so motivated to complete homework since they can earn prizes, stickers, and candy.

Little things like that help my work as a Special Education teacher and case manager so much more seamless when I'm not worrying about how to make sure my students have basic supplies they need.\r\n\r\nThe kids are also very appreciative of the chair bands and headphones.
