Wobble Seats: Comfort Meets Fun
Funded Sep 19, 2024Thank you for making this project possible! The wobbly cushions have had a wonderful impact on our classroom. They've provided my students with a comfortable way to focus and stay engaged while still allowing them to move. It's amazing to see how these cushions allow them to remain calm and focused, creating a more productive learning environment for everyone.
The students' reaction to the wobbly cushions has been fantastic! They absolutely love them and are excited to use them when they feel the need to move. The cushions have given them the freedom to manage their energy in a way that supports their learning, and I've noticed that they're able to stay engaged for longer periods. Thank you again for your generous support!”

Funded Sep 6, 2023We are incredibly grateful for the innovative approach of implementing flexible seating in our classroom, which has significantly transformed our student-teacher check-ins. This innovative concept has empowered our students to connect with us in a more comfortable and authentic manner. The flexible seating areas have provided a refreshing change in our learning environment, enabling our students to choose a comfortable space where they can work and better express themselves, free from the constraints of traditional desks and rows. This initiative has not only improved the overall classroom experience but has also fostered a sense of independence and responsibility among our students.
The impact of flexible seating on student-teacher check-ins cannot be overstated. It has allowed us to connect with our students on a deeper level, creating a more open and relaxed atmosphere where they feel free to share their thoughts, concerns, and ideas. The ability to work in a space that suits their preferences has boosted their self-esteem and confidence, ultimately leading to better communication and learning outcomes. We want to express our heartfelt gratitude for this transformative approach, as it has not only improved academic performance but also nurtured a culture of mutual respect, understanding, and collaboration in our classroom. We look forward to further enhancing our student-teacher relationships through these innovative seating arrangements, which continue to be a source of inspiration and growth for all of us.
In conclusion, the flexible seating areas in our classroom have not only enhanced comfort but have also amplified the voice of our students, providing them with the agency to express themselves freely. We extend our sincerest appreciation for this empowering initiative, which has redefined the dynamics of our educational experience. By offering a comfortable and adaptable space for our students, we are nurturing an environment that encourages personal growth, self-expression, and active engagement in their own education. This transformation wouldn't have been possible without the support and vision of those who championed this concept. We are excited to see the continued positive impact on our student-teacher relationships and the holistic development of our students as we move forward.”

Funded Aug 15, 2023I hope this letter finds you well. On behalf of all our students, I wanted to express our heartfelt gratitude for your generous donation towards the purchase of the new garbage picker. Your support has made a significant impact on our school community, and we are truly thankful for your commitment to our cause.
The garbage picker has already had a tremendous influence on our students and the cleanliness of our school space. The excitement among the students when they saw the new garbage picker was visible. It has not only made the process of cleaning outside more efficient but has also inspired our students to take a proactive role in maintaining a cleaner environment. Moreover, your donation has enabled our students to gain valuable community service hours by participating in cleaning activities after school, fostering a sense of responsibility and civic engagement.
Once again, thank you for your generosity and dedication to our school and its mission. Your support has made a tangible difference in the lives of our students, and we are immensely grateful for your continued partnership.”

Funded Sep 21, 2022Thank you for your donation of flexible seating. My Dual Language students are now able to use areas around the classroom to find a seat where they can sit conformably and continue to work and learn.
When the students saw the Big Joe bean bags they went nuts! They absolutely love that they can use these bean bags while reading, working independently or while instruction is going on.
Thank you again for making our classroom now a flexible seating space for student learning. Con mucho, Dual Language 8th grade SLA class.”
