These new wobble stools provide students a valuable tool to help with focus and concentration. Being able to move their bodies while doing their work is key for many students at this age. I have seen a big difference in their ability to stay seated and attend their learning since having these in the classroom. \r\nMy students were so excited when they arrived and I had several kids asking me if they could help unpack them from the boxes. This was not just any package for Mrs. Lavigne, this was a gift for the entire classroom. It was so awesome to see their enthusiasm and to listen to them figuring out how these stools could be shared and available for everyone. \r\nThese wobble stools have been such a valuable addition to our classroom that, in the future, I'm going to see about getting a few more and even one for myself! \r\nThank you for making this possible! My current, and future, students are very grateful for your support and the contribution to their success.","fullyFundedDate":1755732586520,"projectUrl":"project/we-wobble-but-we-dont-fall-down/9482765/","projectTitle":"We Wobble But We Don't Fall Down","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Lavigne","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp9595024_orig.jpg?crop=2316,2316,x0,y393&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1753043342941","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/klavigne"},{"teacherId":6790804,"projectId":9413028,"letterContent":"I want to thank you so much for supporting this project.
