Help me give my students more seating options. The pandemic has made traditional seating hard for students. When they were at home they would be either laying on the floor, sitting on a chair, or even sitting outside in good weather. This has made the traditional desk and stiff chair less appealing for the students to sit on. I would like to add more flexible seating to my classroom to support their comfort and autonomy while learning, which will then create the sensation of my classroom being a safe place to relax and learn. Currently, I have a few flexible seating options but it would be important to provide students alternate choices, and have enough for almost every student. Additionally, clipboards would be helpful for the students to complete their work while sitting in the flexible seating options.
