Students are now able to choose seating options that best meet their individual needs, which has improved focus, reduced distractions, and increased overall engagement during lessons. Many students who previously struggled to sit still are now more successful because they can move safely and comfortably while learning. This sense of choice has also helped build independence and responsibility in the classroom.\r\n\r\nThe addition of STEM supplies has encouraged hands-on learning and curiosity among my students. With access to building materials, problem-solving tools, and exploratory resources, students are able to collaborate, experiment, and think creatively. These activities have strengthened critical thinking skills and allowed students to practice perseverance as they work through challenges together.\r\n\r\nTogether, the flexible seating and STEM supplies have transformed our classroom into a more dynamic and student-centered space. Students are more motivated, confident, and eager to learn, and they are developing both academic and social skills that will support their growth throughout the school year.","fullyFundedDate":1699445127796,"projectUrl":"project/stem-supplies/8005322/","projectTitle":"STEM Supplies!","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Gonzalez","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp9066669_orig.jpg?crop=1:1,smart&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1699072682340","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9066669"},{"teacherId":2124971,"projectId":9997531,"letterContent":"Thanks to your generosity, my first graders are learning with more focus and independence than ever. Many people use technology at home, but in a classroom of six- and seven‑year‑olds, tools need to be simple and reliable. Your donation provided exactly what they needed.\r\nThe new Type‑C headphones have made a huge difference. Because they plug directly into our iPads, students no longer lose time dealing with broken dongles or weak connections. They can start their reading, math, and learning apps right away. Students are most excited that the headphones \"just work,\" and several who used to get frustrated with tech issues are now fully engaged during centers.\r\nThe glue sticks have been just as helpful. We use them every day for writing projects and hands‑on activities, and having enough for everyone keeps lessons smooth and creative.\r\nYour support didn't just supply materials—it created a calmer, more efficient classroom where students can focus on learning instead of technical problems.

The students are able to rock, rotate, and move freely. The seats have provided an outlet for those students who have excess energy and cannot sit still in any setting.
