Sometimes eight and nine year-olds have the wiggles. Some struggle to get comfortable enough to focus and concentrate on their learning. Others need to work in a quiet place with no one around and may benefit by having a privacy corral around them to keep their focus on their work. Many of them like would like to sit on a comfortable chair while using a lap desk or clipboard. This project is helping bring some of these seating choices to our classroom! The comfy floor seats will allow they to work at a low table where they can still work with a friend while stretching out their legs. The wobble cushions will have rounded points that cause the student to work on their balance and strengthen their core muscles. Last but not least the bean bag chairs will give the students a place to sit back and relax while reading a favorite book. All of these items will give my students a choice in where they sit while helping them engage and stay focused in order to continue making progress in their learning. Please consider helping my students to have seating in our class that will make our room a comfortable and inviting place to learn!
