Flex Seating

Help me give my students some flexible seating options. Flexible seating helps kids focus, feel comfortable, and make good choices by letting them pick how and where they learn.

My Project

My students are 4th grade students that I am lucky enough to work with for the third year. These students are eager to learn and full of energy. They also enjoy working in groups. Their growing independence and creativity make them fun to teach. Giving them the option of flexible seating will give us another way to add fun that promotes learning in the classroom.

Flexible seating helps elementary students feel comfortable and stay focused by letting them choose where to sit.

It supports different ways of learning, allows gentle movement, and teaches kids to make responsible choices. Most of all, it makes the classroom a fun and welcoming place to learn.
