My Project

Students have often expressed wanting another seating option, they have expressed needing to fidget or move in their seats. These stools will give students another option that encourages movement within the classroom and increases brain activity. Flexible seating has been shown to encourage brain activity and help keep students in the moment, and actively engaged. These stools will be added to our culturally responsive classroom! Where we have a carpeted area, pillows and even an indoor bike generator that can be used for those that need movement or to re-engage with the learning environment.
