This has completely transformed our sessions. For example, during a recent vocabulary game, students eagerly picked their favorite seats and stayed focused much longer than before. The ability to move, wiggle, or sit comfortably has boosted both attention and confidence.\r\n\r\nStudent reactions:\r\nWhen the students first saw the new seating, their eyes lit up. Many rushed over to try out the wobble stools, while others tested the cushions on the floor. One student even said, \"This makes speech class fun!\" Their excitement was contagious, and it turned our classroom into a place they couldn't wait to come back to.\r\n\r\nNext steps in learning:\r\nWe are currently working on strengthening language and communication skills through group activities. With the new seating, students are able to collaborate more easily and comfortably during partner work and small group games. The next step for us is to use these resources to build stronger social communication skills—taking turns, listening, and sharing ideas—all while staying engaged and having fun.\r\n\r\nYour support has not only provided materials, but also helped create a positive and motivating environment where students feel proud of their learning.
