Your support made it possible to add wobble seats to my flexible seating options in our classroom. The wobble seats have been a wonderful way to give my students the opportunity to move while still staying engaged in their learning. For some of my students, sitting completely still for long periods of time can be difficult, and having a safe and appropriate way to move helps them feel more comfortable and focused.\r\n\r\nThese seats have been especially helpful for students who need constant movement or have difficulty sitting still during lessons and independent work. The gentle movement allows my students to get the sensory input they need while keeping their bodies in their learning space and their minds focused on the task at hand. Instead of movement becoming a distraction, the wobble seats can help turn that need for movement into a tool for learning. Your generosity has helped me create a classroom where my students' individual needs can be recognized and supported. I am so grateful for your kindness and for investing in my students and their success!","fullyFundedDate":1781125385399,"projectUrl":"project/flexible-seating-for-wiggly-learners/10252835/","projectTitle":"Flexible Seating for Wiggly Learners","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Gober","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp3653528_orig.jpg?crop=472,472,x1545,y536&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1727918286047","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/gabby-gober"},{"teacherId":8166555,"projectId":10215660,"letterContent":"This project has already made a meaningful difference in our classroom by providing students with tools that help them stay focused, organized, and engaged in their learning. The headphones allow students to use technology as a learning tool without distracting those around them, which is especially helpful during independent practice and personalized learning activities. Privacy folders also give students a quiet, focused space to complete assessments and independent work while helping them feel more comfortable working at their own pace.\r\n\r\nThe carpet sweeper, tape dispenser, and other classroom supplies may seem like small additions, but they help our classroom run more smoothly and give students opportunities to take responsibility for our learning environment. My students are especially excited to have classroom tools that make their daily routines easier and allow them to work more independently. These resources help create a classroom where students can focus less on distractions and more on learning, and I am so grateful to our donors for helping make that possible!","fullyFundedDate":1779133649251,"projectUrl":"project/4th-grade-english-language-arts-classroo/10215660/","projectTitle":"4th Grade English Language Arts Classroom Supplies","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Brown","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp8166555_orig.jpg?crop=1194,1194,x0,y0&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1643835661678","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/8166555"},{"teacherId":10469144,"projectId":10167021,"letterContent":"Thank you so much for your generosity.

They have loved choosing what they want to play with. Whether we are practicing requesting, taking turns, following directions, answering questions, or articulation, the toys have made speech feel fun while still providing valuable opportunities for communication. These new resources have helped create a more comfortable and fun environment where students can build confidence while practicing their skills.\r\n\r\nNext, we will continue using these toys during play-based therapy sessions to expand students' language, encourage social communication, and help them use their skills more independently.
