Flexible Seating for Middle School

Help me give my students more flexible seating options so that they can work in a learning environment that is conducive to their needs.

My Students

I teach 5/6 ELA. My students enjoy the opportunity to choose flexible seating. I want to offer them more choices! Some of my students live in low-Income neighborhoods. My students are more productive when they are able to choose their own seating. Currently, the flexible seating choices I have now include chair pads and pillows. I want more choices to benefit students who fidget. I do have a standing desk but I can only have one student use this at a time. I hope you would consider donating to my project!

My Project

Not all students are able to work independently when they are sitting in a chair at a desk. Some students work better when they are able to define their own areas. Some students fidget and need something to keep them occupied so that other students are not distracted during independent work time.

My students enjoy using chair pads and fluffy pillows.

However, I want to make sure that I have enough flexible seating options for all of my students to use them at the same time. My students get excited when they know that it is their turn to use flexible seating during work time.
