Alternative Seating

Help me give my students alternative seating to provide space for them who need a little wiggle throughout their day.

Celebrate Black Teachers and Students

This project is part of the Black History Month celebration because it supports a Black teacher or a school where the majority of the students are Black.

My Project

Flexible seating allows students to take charge of their learning and make the best choices. During independent work times, they choose a location in the classroom that works for them. Currently, my students choose to work in various areas in our room, such as: at different tables, sitting under tables with clipboards, or sitting or lying on the floor with a clipboard. Making sure students are comfortable is an essential component in motivating them. I have noticed striking differences in my students when they are given a choice in their seating. They almost always make good choices about where they sit, are more engaged, and complete more work than just sitting at their desk.

My students are noticeably more engaged in their work and less disruptive of their peers when they choose where to work.

The selected products will help my students by giving them additional seating options to make more effective learning choices. The wobble stools are adjustable, allowing students to sit at desks/higher tables but still allowing some movement. These will be highly beneficial for some students that need to get the wiggles out. They can also be used as an alternative chair if required! The comfy floor seats and the beanbag chair will allow for additional comfortable floor seating options. They are lightweight and can be easily used in many classroom areas.

I have seen how choice can positively affect my student's work and demeanor, and I hope the additional options will help us grow even more!
