This grant would allow me to provide students with alternative seating options instead of just using traditional chairs! My students need flexible seating options, such as stools for taller tables, an inflatable ball, cushions for regular chairs, crates for low tables, and a wobble chair. These items would give students a way to fidget and wiggle while staying engaged in what they are learning. Designing my classroom with flexible seating options, would provide students with the opportunity to work in a relaxed environment. Using a variety of seating arrangements, allows students to have choices on how they would like to learn.
