The 12 cushions and 2 floor seats have made a huge difference in our learning environment. As soon as my students saw them, their excitement was contagious—they immediately started picking their favorite spots and imagining how they could use them. One student exclaimed, \"This is going to make reading time so much better!\" and another asked if we could use them for group work every day.\r\n\r\nSince receiving these flexible seating options, we've been using them daily for independent reading, small group discussions, and even math activities. One of my more fidgety students, who used to struggle with sitting still, now grabs a cushion and fully engages in his work. Another student, who often hesitated to participate in discussions, now feels more comfortable sharing ideas while sitting in a floor seat with her peers. These simple additions have given my students more choice in how they learn, leading to greater focus and enthusiasm. As we move forward, we're working on collaborative projects where students research and present on different historical figures, and these seating options will continue to give them the flexibility to work comfortably and confidently.\r\n\r\nYour generosity has truly enhanced our classroom, making it a space where students feel more at home and engaged in their learning.
