My Project

Our students come to class with a variety of educational needs. As middle school students, having the choice of seating options can be motivating and engaging. In addition, sensory supports will enhance the flexible seating experience by supporting their brains and growing bodies.

I have seen how choice can positively impact my students' work and motivation, and hope that the additional options will help us learn even more!

The products that I have selected will help my students by giving them additional seating options to make more effective learning choices. These will be extremely beneficial for some students that just need to get the wiggles out. They can also be used as an alternative chair if needed! The comfy floor seats and the beanbag chairs will allow for additional comfortable floor seating options.
