Flexible Seating = Empowered Learners
Funded Nov 14, 2024I am so grateful for the impact your generous donation has had on our classroom. The new flexible seating options have truly transformed our learning environment. Students are now able to choose the seating that works best for them, whether it's the light, stackable stools that are easy to move around, the adjustable wobble chairs, or the comfortable new ocean print carpet. This flexibility has allowed for a more dynamic classroom atmosphere where students feel comfortable, engaged, and able to focus on their work in a way that suits their individual needs.
The excitement in the classroom when the materials were delivered was absolutely palpable. As soon as the ocean print carpet arrived, the students were immediately drawn to it, commenting on how cozy and inviting it felt. It quickly became a favorite spot for independent reading and group activities. When the wobble chairs were introduced, students were thrilled to discover that they were adjustable to accommodate all sizes, making them even more inclusive. It's been amazing to see students taking ownership of their learning spaces and moving around the classroom freely to find what helps them focus best.
One of the most popular additions has been the sleigh tables, which give students the option to sit on the floor while still having a functional desk to work at. This has made a huge difference for those who prefer a more relaxed seating arrangement. While these resources have already made a tremendous difference, our only wish is to have more sleigh tables and wobble chairs to ensure that every student has the seating option that works best for them. Your donation has had a lasting impact on our classroom, and I can't thank you enough for helping to create a space where every student can thrive.”

Funded Aug 26, 2018Ana and I cannot begin to express our gratitude for your contribution to our classroom. The addition of flexible seating has made a tremendous difference during instructional time! The chairs and balls are in such high demand, we've created a check-out for the items and we NEVER have enough. The students have expressed how much they like using the wobble chairs during small group instruction, explaining that they help them focus better and keep their bodies "ready for learning". Exactly what teachers love to hear and see! We're ready to get rid of all of our typical chairs in the room and replace them with other flexible seating options! Thank you again for your generosity!”
