Because of your kindness, our classroom is about to transform into a space where every student can feel comfortable, supported, and inspired to learn.\r\n\r\nThe bean bag chairs, soft cushions, and cozy rug you've funded will do more than simply make our classroom look inviting—they will give students the freedom to choose where and how they learn best. Whether working together in groups, taking a quiet moment to recharge, or finding a spot that helps them focus, my students will now have options that meet their individual needs.\r\n\r\nFor my students with special needs, these flexible seating choices will also provide much-needed sensory breaks, helping them self-regulate and re-engage with learning. For all students, they will create an atmosphere of collaboration, independence, and inclusivity.\r\n\r\nYour generosity has a ripple effect that goes far beyond the items themselves—it sends a powerful message to my students that their comfort, learning styles, and well-being matter. I can't wait to see their faces light up when they walk into this newly reimagined space.\r\n\r\nFrom the bottom of my heart, thank you for believing in this vision and for making such a meaningful difference in our classroom.","fullyFundedDate":1748046413071,"projectUrl":"project/flexible-seating-for-focused-learning-an/9361825/","projectTitle":"Flexible Seating for Focused Learning and Collaboration","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Wilson","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-4_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/10037566"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_85872","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":337,"numTeachers":28,"percentFrplEligible":27,"percentAsian":0,"percentBlack":0,"percentWhite":96,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":1,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"K - 6","studentTeacherRatio":"12.0:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":false,"titleOne":false,"metroType":"SUBURBAN","ncesMetroType":"SUBURB_LARGE"},"inStateSupporters":72.0,"schoolId":85872,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about O.H.
