My Project

Children need to move. Each year I seem to have more and more students with ADD/ADHD. If they are able to wiggle and bounce around a bit easier, this really helps them to focus!

It is also great for kids to have choices throughout their day.

Giving them different seating choices helps them to feel a bit more in control. They will also be able to collaborate with groups more easily with the free movement allowed by flexible seating.

Children are not all wired the same way. By allowing choices they are able to figure out which learning environment best suits their style.

Ms. McDonald Hellstern Middle School Grades 6-8
