The bouncy ball chair and swivel chair allow students to move while they work, which has helped them stay focused and engaged for longer periods of time. One specific moment that stood out was during math small groups—students who typically struggle to stay seated were able to complete their work calmly while gently moving, which led to increased productivity and confidence.\r\nWhen my students first saw the new seating, they were beyond excited. They were eager to try each chair and asked thoughtful questions about how and when they could use them. More importantly, they quickly understood that these tools were meant to help them learn better. I noticed an immediate sense of pride and ownership, and students were respectful and responsible while using the seating options.\r\nThanks to your generosity, my students are now better prepared to engage in upcoming lessons that require sustained focus and collaboration. As we continue working on current reading and math units, students will use the flexible seating to support independent reading, problem-solving, and partner work. These resources are helping create a classroom environment where students feel comfortable, supported, and ready to learn each day.","fullyFundedDate":1770646049454,"projectUrl":"project/supporting-focus-through-movement-flexi/10076147/","projectTitle":"Supporting Focus Through Movement: Flexible Seating in Our Classroom","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Garcia","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp7908303_orig.jpg?crop=1:1,smart&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1761524991636","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/7908303"},{"teacherId":7908303,"projectId":9895367,"letterContent":"Thank you so much for supporting my \"Let Them Wiggle While They Work\" project. Because of your generosity, my classroom now has two flexible seating chairs that allow students to move while they learn. These chairs are already being used during small-group instruction, independent work time, and reading activities—especially by students who struggle to stay focused in traditional chairs.\r\nOne moment that truly stood out to me was during a small-group reading lesson. A student who normally has difficulty sitting still and staying engaged was able to remain seated, focused, and actively participate for the entire lesson while using one of the new chairs. Instead of needing frequent redirection, the student was calm, attentive, and confident. It was a powerful reminder of how small changes can make a big difference.\r\nWhen my students first saw the new chairs, their faces lit up with excitement. They were eager to try them and immediately noticed how comfortable they felt. Several students shared that the chairs helped them \"pay attention better\" and \"not feel so wiggly,\" which made me incredibly proud and thankful for your support.\r\nAs we continue our current lessons in reading, writing, and math, these chairs will remain an important part of our daily learning routines. My next goal is to continue building student independence and focus during small-group instruction and independent practice, giving students the tools they need to regulate their bodies so they can fully engage with their learning.\r\nFlexible seating helps my students who struggle in traditional chairs stay engaged, calm, and ready to learn. Your generosity is helping create a classroom environment where every child—no matter their circumstances—can feel comfortable, confident, and excited to learn. Thank you for giving my students this opportunity and for being a meaningful part of our classroom community.","fullyFundedDate":1769177516827,"projectUrl":"project/let-them-wiggle-while-they-work/9895367/","projectTitle":"Let Them Wiggle While They Work!","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Garcia","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp7908303_orig.jpg?crop=1:1,smart&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1761524991636","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/7908303"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_49460","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":622,"numTeachers":38,"percentFrplEligible":89,"percentAsian":1,"percentBlack":57,"percentWhite":8,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":25,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","percentHawaiianImputed":0,"percentMultiracialImputed":6,"gradesServed":"Pre-K - 5","studentTeacherRatio":"16.4:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"SUBURBAN","ncesMetroType":"SUBURB_SMALL"},"inStateSupporters":65.4,"schoolId":49460,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Altama Elementary School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Altama Elementary School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/georgia/glynn-county-school-district/altama-elementary-school/49460"}
