Your kindness has transformed our learning environment into a space where my students can feel comfortable, supported, and ready to engage. Many of my students have unique sensory and physical needs, and the new seating options provide them with the ability to make choices that help them stay focused and calm. Whether it's a wobble stool, bouncy ball chair, or chair band, each option has become a tool that empowers my students to regulate their bodies and participate more actively in their learning.\r\n\r\nThe impact has been remarkable. I've seen students who struggled to stay seated now happily complete activities using the seating that works best for them. Flexible seating has also fostered independence as my students make decisions about their needs throughout the day. Morning Meetings, hands-on activities, and group lessons have all become more engaging, as students are better able to sustain their attention and interact with their peers. Your generosity has made a difference in ways that extend beyond academics—creating a classroom where every child feels valued, capable, and included.\r\n\r\nThank you for being a part of our journey and for helping us build a learning space where all students can thrive.","fullyFundedDate":1729432813431,"projectUrl":"project/fun-flexible-seating-for-my-fidgety-fri/8883605/","projectTitle":"Fun, Flexible Seating for My Fidgety Friends!","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Ryan","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-5_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9805508"},{"teacherId":1401890,"projectId":8955463,"letterContent":"This project has been very useful for my students to obtain some super science experience.
