With our new wobble stools and stackable stools, students now have seating options that match their learning styles—encouraging movement, sensory engagement, and improved concentration.\r\n\r\nThese seating choices have made our classroom more dynamic and responsive to their needs. Students are more focused, energized, and eager to participate during music activities.\r\n\r\nLooking ahead, we'll continue using the flexible seating during group projects, music centers, and rhythm instrument practice. These tools are already helping us build a learning environment where every student can feel comfortable, supported, and successful.\r\n\r\nThank you for helping make this possible.

The combination of captivating illustrations and relatable narratives has helped reluctant readers feel more confident and excited about exploring books. Others have found new opportunities to deepen their critical thinking and storytelling skills, as graphic novels have sparked creative discussions about art, culture, and themes that connect to their everyday lives.\r\nYour kindness has made our library more vibrant and inclusive by offering diverse perspectives and stories that reflect our students' interests and identities. You've empowered them to dream bigger, explore further, and believe in the magic of stories.\r\nOn behalf of myself, our staff, and most importantly, our students, thank you for making a lasting difference in our learning community.","fullyFundedDate":1735421984370,"projectUrl":"project/graphic-novels-for-reluctant-readers/8836280/","projectTitle":"Graphic Novels for Reluctant Readers","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Lester","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-1_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/22021"},{"teacherId":9583560,"projectId":9041663,"letterContent":"The project is and will continue to be a successful, the use of the itmes donated to my class has made a tremendous help.
