Help me give my students choices for seating. My students have a hard time sitting on chairs to work. Some of the students also are distracted or do not like loud sounds so the earphones will hellp.

My Students
My students are amazing. This is the first time for most in the classroom. They are eager to learn and share their ideas. I have students that started the year not speaking English, students who have ADHD, Autism, and learning disabilities. They come from many different backgrounds and cultures. My students range from just learning the alphabet to reading chapter books. The higher students love to help those that are struggling. I call them my mini teachers.
"What are we going to learn today?" is a phrase that I hear almost every day.
They are eager and excited to see what the day brings. One of their favorite activities this year was our indoor snowball fight. Sight words were written on paper that they read then made into a ball and threw it to someone else to read.
My Project
I want to give my students a choice of seating. Some like to stand, some lay down, some rock, some just wiggle. By giving them seating choices like wiggle stools, balance balls, and wobble cushions, they can use what will help them so that they can focus and listen. The headphones will help students be able to focus.
By helping students be able to focus better they will be able to learn more.
We want school to be accessible to everyone. If we can help them focus better we should.
Sitting is hard for students who have never had to before. Let's make it easier for them to learn and focus.
More than a third of students from low‑income households
