Your contribution is far more than a financial donation—your generosity has created an environment where my students can feel comfortable, supported, and excited to learn every single day.\r\n\r\nWhen I first envisioned a classroom with flexible seating, I imagined a space where students could move, choose, collaborate, and truly engage with their learning. Traditional seating often limits movement and prevents students from finding the spot where they feel most confident and focused. I knew my students deserved options—places where they could wiggle, stretch, work with partners, or tuck into cozy corners to read. Thanks to you, this dream has become a reality.\r\n\r\nYour support has made a profound impact. Already, the energy in our classroom feels different. My students walk in each morning eager to choose their seat for the day, and that simple moment of choice empowers them to take ownership of their learning. Some naturally gravitate toward the wobble stools, which help them channel their extra energy. Others love the floor cushions and low tables where they can settle into quiet concentration. Students who used to feel restless in traditional chairs now have a space where their physical needs are met, and as a result, they are more focused, more confident, and more joyful learners.\r\n\r\nThis change has also helped to strengthen our classroom community. Students collaborate more easily when seating is flexible, and I have seen them communicate, share, and problem-solve with a maturity that has truly impressed me. Giving students the power to choose has built not only independence, but also respect—they care for our new seating options, they help keep the room organized, and they show greater pride in our shared classroom environment. This transformation has been beautiful to witness, and it is all thanks to your generosity.\r\n\r\nYour donation has done more than bring new furniture into our space—it has elevated our entire learning experience. It has shown my students that people in the world believe in them, invest in them, and want to see them grow. Many of my students do not always have access to learning environments designed specifically with their comfort and individual needs in mind. Your contribution has helped create that for them. You have given them the opportunity to thrive, to express themselves, and to learn in ways that feel natural and supportive.\r\n\r\nAs their teacher, watching this impact unfold has been incredibly meaningful. I am deeply grateful for your kindness and your willingness to support a classroom you may never step foot in. Your belief in the power of education—and in the potential of every child—means more than I can express.\r\n\r\nThank you for helping me create a classroom where students feel valued, capable, and excited to learn. Thank you for bringing joy, comfort, and possibility into our daily routines. And most of all, thank you for making a lasting difference in the lives of my students.","fullyFundedDate":1757680531567,"projectUrl":"project/flexible-seating/9675388/","projectTitle":"Flexible Seating","teacherDisplayName":"Mr. Villa","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-10_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9517239"},{"teacherId":14643,"projectId":9810780,"letterContent":"Thank you so much for your generous donations for snacks for my classroom.

Students are able to use these resources throughout lessons, small group activities and group work with their peers. The laminated sheets have been used throughout the duration of the day for the anchor charts in reading and writing and the students' math toolkits.

We are able to print out resources and laminate them to use them continuously to enhance engagement and participation of our students. \r\n\r\n \r\nMany of our students are visual/kinesthetic 'hands-on' learners. With laminated versions of the anchor charts, they are able to refer to them while completing their work. In reading, they are able to answer questions from the stories we read using the skill on the anchor chart. One student in particular has become more engaged during small group reading lessons—using the laminated alphabet chart to sound out words in the story to help increase their comprehension. In math, students can use their laminated number line to solve problems and are able to erase if they make a mistake. When they complete group work, students encourage others to try the problem on their number line. \r\n\r\n \r\nOur students love to express their ideas through pictures and coloring. Your generous donation of crayons allow our students to confidently bring their ideas to life.
