Flexible Seating for Focused Minds

My Project

I love how my students bring enthusiasm, curiosity, and diverse strengths into the classroom every day. They are eager to learn and do their best when they feel comfortable, supported, and respected. Flexible seating allows them to make choices about how and where they learn best, which increases focus, engagement, and a sense of ownership over their learning. The Lakeshore comfy floor seat and extra-thick cushions will provide safe, cozy spaces for reading, group work, or independent tasks. These resources will help create a more inclusive, calm, and student-centered classroom environment for all learners.
