The addition of more wobble stools has allowed for nearly every student to have the option to use a wobble stool every day. We have created an effective rotation system that gives a new group of students the first pick of their seats each day. My students enjoy the choice and flexibility the seating offers them. Students learn effective ways to sit on the wobble stools in order to avoid falling. The new wobble stools have quickly become the classroom favorite since they wobble enough and have wide enough spots to sit. \r\n\r\nWe are incredibly thankful for the addition of new wobble stools.","fullyFundedDate":1746551262882,"projectUrl":"project/wobble-while-you-learn/9053254/","projectTitle":"Wobble While You Learn","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Jewell","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/272x272/tp6102600_272x272.jpg?width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1547425669957","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/6102600"},{"teacherId":9743948,"projectId":8767553,"letterContent":"Thank you so much for your amazing donation to my Reading Intervention classroom. My students have loved every minute of my little cozy book corner. They love being able to cozy up on the couch with a book of their choice and spend some time reading. It has made each student feel at home with the flexible seating.

The new tubs help keep the books organized. I can almost color code them now! I like the black tubs to help set up centers. This helps my volunteers know exactly what to do with the students. The carpet is a cheerful addition to my classroom. We also use it for the Star of the Week presentation. They can see their classmates bulletin board and interact with each other better now.

They now see math as fun, flexible, and creative. They know that working together with other classmates is one of the joys of math. I feel proud to think that my students will look back on 3rd grade math with memories of joy and confidence, not anxious feelings of not being a \"math person.\" \r\n Each day, we have a 30 minute block of time dedicated to math practice, beyond the regular lessons. This is the time of day that we use our games. I'm lucky to have a volunteer come into my room and she helps teach the games and facilitate the social skills required to take turns, lose and win gracefully, and persevere through new or challenging directions. \r\n Even though the games all arrived at once, I decided to slowly reveal the games to my class, ensuring the students all had turns playing each game. Then, every time I introduced a new game, it was like Christmas morning! The excitement over these math games has spread to the other teachers, grade levels, and home with my students. Many of the parents used the ideas of these games for inspiration for Christmas gifts for their 3rd graders this year.","fullyFundedDate":1725068496820,"projectUrl":"project/games-for-gains-a-math-game-library/8712962/","projectTitle":"Games for Gains: A Math Game Library","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Knowles","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp6900602_orig.jpg?crop=1053,1053,x1933,y826&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1724807707318","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/6900602"},{"teacherId":6102600,"projectId":8681187,"letterContent":"It has been invaluable to have math materials that students can get their hands on to support their math learning.
