My Students

My students are excited about learning. They are learning so many skills that are a vital part of their educational foundation.

My kindergarten students particularly like having choices as they learn.

Flexible seating would be a great tool to meet their needs.

My Project

My kindergarten students are currently working at tables with traditional chairs. I have a few "choice stations" where students can work but that is limited. When my students are given a choice where they can work, they are more on task and are more involved with learning.

Our classroom really needs more flexible seating so that more children would have this opportunity to have a choice and allow them to move more.

Movement and student choice are vitally important in a kindergarten classroom setting.

The stools and cushions would help meet my students' needs. Thank you!
