I have a few students who desperately need flexible seating just to focus on listening during whole group instruction. However, 100% of my class is working and focusing better on collaborative learning projects and/or individual assignments because they don't have to sit in their hard seats all day. They now have the option of finding flexible seating around the room where they can rock, move, sit differently, etc. Every student is benefiting from your generosity!","fullyFundedDate":1758830213388,"projectUrl":"project/flexible-seating-for-learning-focus/9478399/","projectTitle":"Flexible Seating for Learning Focus","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Baird","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp4041112_orig.jpg?crop=205,205,x0,y7&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1752860148815","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/4041112"},{"teacherId":9776740,"projectId":8818181,"letterContent":"I am the school counselor at San Jose Elementary School in Dunedin, FL.
