It was such a great experience for my students and myself. The biggest impact I think this project had on my students and myself was to see the generosity in people that we didn't even know. My students were so excited when a box would be delivered to our room and it was from The Donors Program. I would always save and do an unboxing for them and there would be gasps of excitement. Their first question was always \"When can we use them?\" They were more excited to go to reading and math centers and was actively enjoying the space that they now had to learn and grow. I was so grateful that they didn't have to stay at their desks or drag their chairs all over the room. There are now spaces to go where they could learn and explore with their peers comfortably. \r\n\r\nThe new resources are used daily in my classroom. The stackable stools are used for the small group instruction table, which I can now fit more students at the table then with their desk chairs. I also have some extra stacked in the back along with the flower pillows and my students will grab them easily for group projects, partner work, inside recess and even independent reading. I find my students grabbing them to use if they are doing partner work or even during inside recess. We use the beanbags and cushions when we are reading independently or during rug time. I have started a reading circle and we start so much quicker with the stools or pillows in a circle. The rolling cart and wire baskets is essential to help organize their group work materials. It saves time so I do not have to waste time passing out materials to each group. the students know where to go and can get what they need. I have their write boards, markers, highlighters, dice, rulers, extra crayons and pencils in the rolling cart. I also have them leave their group work in the wire baskets if they are not finished and have to work on it the next day. It keeps it safe and if there are pieces nothing gets lost. I also wanted an organizer to keep folders for each child but I ended up making it my kid station and they love it. I have extra pencils there and cap erasers. There are fidgets they can use and special pens and pencils they can earn as a reward. This is where our golden ducks and Flo the Flamingo have their home. Flo watches for above and beyond 3rd grade behavior and will fly over to visit while the ducks will visit well organized desks. Our golden stars and pompoms are also kept here so this is definitely their reward center. It has made for a happy classroom. \r\n This project was more than I had hoped for. It has made me more organized and helped my students get organized too. I am happy they have ways to use the classroom to learn or even to relax in an easier and efficient way. The next steps I would like to do is to get a bigger and more colorful rug in the classroom. The one we have now is pretty small. I also would like to get better dry erase boards and number grids since we use them a lot during the week and the ones I currently have are old and worn. I am hoping to get some more manipulatives to add to my math center to be able to use during math centers. Thank you again for your generosity and kindness you have shown to my classroom. My students are using the items purchased on a daily basis and it has made for a happy and more organized classroom.","fullyFundedDate":1742948635877,"projectUrl":"project/help-my-students-need-their-own-space-t/9087230/","projectTitle":"Help!

The impact it has had on my students, both academically and emotionally, has been truly remarkable.\r\n\r\nThe ability to offer students a variety of seating options has allowed them to choose the environment that best supports their learning style. Whether they prefer a standing desk, a comfy chair, or a quiet corner, the flexibility has empowered them to take ownership of their learning in ways I hadn't anticipated. As a result, students have shown increased engagement, focus, and productivity. They are more comfortable and motivated, which has translated into improved academic performance.\r\n\r\nOn a more emotional level, flexible seating has fostered a sense of autonomy and belonging in the classroom. Students who may have previously struggled with traditional desk arrangements have found comfort and confidence in selecting a space that suits them. This freedom has helped reduce anxiety and promote a more positive, inclusive classroom culture. I've seen students interact more with one another, collaborate more easily, and feel more valued within the space.\r\n\r\nIt has been a joy to witness the transformation in my students' attitudes toward learning. The positive effects of flexible seating are undeniable, and I truly believe it has played a pivotal role in supporting their academic and emotional growth this year.\r\n\r\nThank you once again for making this possible.
