Sitting Pretty: Help Us Couch Our Way to Success!
Funded Aug 14, 2024Dear Donors,
I cannot thank you enough for your incredible generosity in providing our classroom with a new couch and chair for flexible seating. From the moment the students first saw these additions, their excitement was palpable! They couldn't wait to settle into the new seating options, and their smiles were priceless. The couch and chair have quickly become favorite spots in the room, providing a comfortable space for reading, collaborative work, and independent study.
These new seating options have made a significant impact on our daily routine, particularly in supporting students' social-emotional needs. I've seen students gravitate toward these cozy spots when they need a quiet moment to refocus or when they want to dive into a good book. It has become a place where students can feel safe and supported, whether they are working through challenging assignments or taking a moment to calm themselves. This has led to a noticeable increase in engagement and a more positive classroom environment overall.
As we continue our learning journey, I plan to integrate the flexible seating into more collaborative projects, giving students the opportunity to choose where they work best. The couch and chair have become a key part of our classroom community, and we are so grateful to have this special space. Thank you for giving us the tools to create a more comfortable, student-centered learning environment!”
With gratitude,
Ms. Londis
