We are thrilled to be able to hold two small groups at the same time to reinforce concepts being taught during the day. Our problem is that we need to about 7-8 students around a small table and chairs are just too large to accommodate that number of children. This flexible seating option, stools, maximizes instructional time and allows the students to interact together. We do not have to move chairs around and can quickly make flexible groups anywhere in the classroom. We purchased cheaper stools to help our groups to function better, but 5th graders tend to get larger very quickly during the school year. Students also like to wiggle, and it is just a matter of time before a collapse occurs. Ms. C. and I have drilled, used nuts and bolts, and straightened the flimsy legs of our current seating to no avail. We need a more permanent, solid solution.
