Help me give my students alternative seating in the classroom. It can be challenging for middle-schoolers to sit all day in seats. These seats will allow students get their wiggles out and focus more on learning.

My Project
My middle school students struggle to concentrate when they have to sit in hard chairs all day.
I want to make my classroom to be inviting and comfortable for learners while they read and write.
I believe alternative seating will help students to be more engaged. I plan to make floor seating areas and also areas with wobble seats. Wobble seats allow students to move while they are sitting. Right now, my students lean back on their chairs, and it is very unsafe. Wobble chairs will be a safe alternative.
I appreciate your consideration to help the students of a middle school classroom 😊.
