My Project

Help my students have choice in how they sit and work in class. We have multiple tables in class but only two options for seating and one of the options is for my students in a reading station with me.

Research shows that choice and flexibility in how students work helps them focus and develop a sense of control.

This is my goal in offering them rolling chairs, stools and now floor seating. I have already personally purchased a floor table that will allow up to 8 students to work together. Help us get the seating they need to comfortably team up!
