The alternative seating will help my students with coming back to school and having to sit for longer periods of time. After the pandemic students have been used to coming and going as they please. The chairs will help give my students the ability to stay seated during lessons, but also the ability to move around a little more that they are used to while we were out of school. Last year was the first year that students took their state tests online with a computer. Most students have been struggling with the use of keyboard mouse. With the use of an exterior mouse, it will give my students more control over what they are attempting to do with assignments and testing. Students are also having trouble with the slightest noise within the classroom and focusing do to any of the slightest noise. With the use of the headphones, students will be able to "seclude" themselves into their own learning bubble to focus and achieve the best of their abilities.
