Comfy Seating

My Students

Our school is located in the foothills of Appalachia. My students are all special needs students that come from low income homes and have been placed into a self-contained type classroom for all academic classes. These students have not felt success in the general classroom setting and have very low self-esteem. They do not have the confidence in themselves that students should have.

It is really sad to know that students feel this way about themselves, and that is why I am coming to you for help.

I want to help better their confidence academically and open their minds to everyday learning activities.

My Project

My students are all special needs students. They have issues with staying in their seat to complete work. I would like for my students to have options to sit in other places or use other types of seating at their desks. This will help with not only fidgeting, but also completing work. We would use these seats daily while reading, center work, and iPad learning using math websites. They would have the option to choose from bean bags, wobble chairs, comfy floor seating or excercise ball seats. I have found that by giving my students bean bags in the classroom, they enjoy reading more. I hope that by using these seats, students will enjoy learning more.
