On the very first day, they rushed to try out the beanbags, wobble stools, and bistro chairs during independent reading time. Instead of fidgeting or dragging their feet about reading, they quickly found their spots and dove into their books. One moment that stood out to me was seeing a group of usually restless students happily curled up in the new seats, whispering that it felt like they were \"reading in a coffee shop.\" The new space instantly transformed the atmosphere of our classroom into one that feels both inviting and purposeful.\r\n\r\nTheir reactions were priceless—wide smiles, excited chatter, and comments like, \"This feels like a real reading lounge!\" Even my most reluctant readers were eager to get started. Having choices in where and how they sit has given my students a sense of ownership and made reading feel more enjoyable and special.\r\n\r\nNow that flexible seating has become part of our daily routine, our next step is to use this environment to build stronger reading stamina and independence. We've begun a unit where students track their progress and reflect on their books, and the new seating has made these sessions something they truly look forward to. Thanks to your generosity, my students now have a space that not only supports their learning but also inspires them to love reading.

We use technology nearly every day, and these resources have made a significant impact on my students' learning experiences. Many of my students benefit from having texts read aloud to them, whether for comprehension support or to engage more deeply with the material. The headphones you provided allow them to focus on their own learning without distractions, giving them access to tools they need to succeed. I have already seen improvements in their confidence and engagement with reading—students who once struggled to follow along are now actively participating in discussions and showing a greater understanding of the texts. \r\n\r\nThe flexible seating options have been a game changer in my classroom. Research shows that movement and choice in seating can improve focus, engagement, and even academic performance, and I have witnessed this firsthand. Students love having the ability to choose where they work best, whether it's a wobble stool that helps them stay engaged, a floor cushion for a more relaxed reading experience, or a standing option for those who need to move. I've noticed that students who were once restless and easily distracted are now able to settle into their work with greater focus and stamina. Their enthusiasm for learning has grown, and they take more ownership of their space and their work. Your generosity has truly transformed our classroom, and I cannot thank you enough for investing in my students' success!","fullyFundedDate":1723305148298,"projectUrl":"project/listening-seating-reading-succeedi/8467983/","projectTitle":"Listening + Seating + Reading = Succeeding!","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Whitley","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp9575667_orig.jpg?crop=1:1,smart&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1719492396819","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9575667"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_102108","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":677,"numTeachers":46,"percentFrplEligible":95,"percentAsian":1,"percentBlack":33,"percentWhite":48,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":6,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"6 - 8","studentTeacherRatio":"14.7:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":false,"metroType":"URBAN","ncesMetroType":"SUBURB_MIDSIZE"},"inStateSupporters":73.4,"schoolId":102108,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Glenview Middle School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Glenview Middle School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/south-carolina/anderson-school-district-five/glenview-middle-school/102108"}
