My students have loved having flexible seating. For my students with attention issues, having the wooble stools have been wonderful. The students love seating where they want in the seat that they want to sit in. They get move and wiggle as much as they need so they can stay focused. This has added a wonderful new level for managing behavior. This is a positive way to reward the students for making good choices. \r\n\r\nThe students have started coming into class early. They want to make sure they can select the chair or the color that they want. I do not have problems with students being tardy to class anymore. They know if they get to class early, they can have their pick of seating.","fullyFundedDate":1741031790507,"projectUrl":"project/letting-high-schoolers-choose-where-they/8934080/","projectTitle":"Letting High Schoolers Choose Where They Sit","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Atkins","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-4_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9832066"},{"teacherId":9832066,"projectId":8934096,"letterContent":"Thank you so much for your generous donation of hand-held microscopes.

The excitement and joy on their faces as they discover new details in the environment is truly priceless.
