Research shows that allowing students to sit comfortably in flexible seating options greatly enhances their focus and really fosters building positive relationships. With a fulfilled project, my classroom dynamics would change quite a bit. I would be able to offer my students a variety of seating options based on what best meets their needs. Students would be able to use seat cushions, comfortable rugs, and lap desks to focus in our classroom and have their own personal space. These options will allow them to become more comfortable, find a responsible working space and get the most out of our independent work time and classroom activities. I will send pictures, academic work and data to show the success of the grant in action. My project will make a difference because the diverse needs of my students will be met. My students will be able to work with a seating option that allows them to focus and stay comfortable, both of which are needed to produce quality work. When I think about how I, as an adult, like to sit and work, it is not in a plastic chair, or even at my desk. I prefer to work on the floor or in a comfortable chair, and I believe that my students should have the same options.
