My students work on their computers for a majority of the day with the Summit Learning Program and it is important for them to have a comfortable working space. Studies have shown that students learn better in an inviting and comfortable environment. I want to provide this for my students by adding different seating options including different styles of bean bag chairs, clipboards, stools, and lap trays. Every child is different. Some students work best in a traditional desk and chair, while others prefer to have more space and work in other areas such as the floor. These students can use the clip boards or lap trays to work on the floor. The bean bag chairs will provide a comforting seating choice and the stools will give students more flexibility to move around while they work. These different flexible seating options will help my students take ownership of their learning by allowing them to choose the seating option will maximize their learning.
