Having the spin chair allowed students to have a break when needed. It provided a space for them to reset, and continue to learn throughout their day. The couch chair also gave students a preferred seating method instead of having to sit on the floor or in a desk chair. \r\n\r\nWhen the materials were brought to the room, immediately two students wanted to go onto the couch chair. The couch chair is a comfy way for students to sit independently and stay in their seat for a longer duration. In the photos you will see students doing their binder work while sitting on the couch chair. There are also multiple students spinning on the chair during choice time or during a break time. I am truly grateful at providing the classroom with these supports to help these students become successful in their school day.","fullyFundedDate":1746785961434,"projectUrl":"project/flexible-seating/9065283/","projectTitle":"Flexible Seating","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Kane","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp8518595_orig.jpg?crop=960,960,x0,y0&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1659389859899","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/8518595"},{"teacherId":4840464,"projectId":8917486,"letterContent":"We appreciate your kind donations in helping us to get our project funded!

The dividers help us block off areas of the classroom and hallway to allow students to get to their destinations without difficulty. \r\n\r\nWhen the dividers arrived the students were so happy and even help staff when its time for them tk be moved around!

Students are also able to use fun learning games and apps to help facilitate learning.\r\nMost of my students have really taken to using iPads as their primary learning tool.

It has been especially valuable in teaching them about layering, tracing, and working with transparency in ways that were previously not possible. The ability to observe their work in a new light has sparked their curiosity and pushed their creativity to new heights.\r\n\r\nSince introducing the light table into our lessons, I've seen a noticeable improvement in students' confidence in their artistic abilities. They are excited to experiment, explore, and express themselves in ways that were not as accessible before. The light table has not only enhanced their technical skills but has also inspired a greater passion for art.\r\n\r\nThank you again for your incredible support.
