They crowded around, asking questions about where it would go and who would get to sit there first. Placing it strategically next to the carpet area was an instant game-changer. During small-group rotations, students who prefer a bit more structure or who struggle to stay focused on the floor now have the option to slide onto the bench and work at a comfortable height. That simple choice has eliminated the quiet resentment some kids felt about carpet time and has made every child feel like the classroom truly belongs to them.\r\nSince adding the bench, I've noticed a beautiful shift in independence and engagement. All of the frequently used math manipulatives—base-ten blocks, counters, fraction tiles—are now stored in clear bins directly underneath the bench, within arm's reach of anyone seated there. Students no longer hesitate to grab what they need, worried about interrupting my lesson or walking across the room at the \"wrong\" moment. They quietly select the tools that make sense to them, experiment confidently, and often discover multiple ways to solve a problem before I even reach their group. The result has been a noticeable leap in both their willingness to take risks with challenging math concepts and their overall proficiency. What began as one modest piece of furniture has become a quiet catalyst for autonomy, collaboration, and deeper mathematical thinking across the entire classroom.","fullyFundedDate":1750256191528,"projectUrl":"project/a-place-to-sit-and-work/9324379/","projectTitle":"A Place to Sit and Work","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Lucas","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp9833374_orig.png?crop=1:1,smart&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1751409268066","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9833374"},{"teacherId":10097263,"projectId":9507394,"letterContent":"With your support, we have given children who have no way to communicate verbally, a chance to express themselves!
