Help me give my students flexible seating options for our third grade classroom. These seats are more comfortable than plastic classroom chairs, and allow for movement which can increase focus and learning (along with core strength).

My Project
My students have become more used to flexible learning environments due to learning at home during the pandemic. These seats will allow them to be more comfortable and active in the traditional classroom, which will impact their abilities to focus, make connections, and learn. Wobble stools and balance ball seats give students a chance to build their core muscles in active seated positions, which can improve their posture and increase blood flow to the brain. They give all of us the opportunity to think beyond the layout of a traditional classroom, thus allowing students and adults to be more creative problem solvers. Finally, these seat options are simply more fun. When kids have fun while learning, they retain what they have learned and are excited to return to school for more!
