My Project

In my class, I like to allow my students to have multiple work areas that get them away from sitting at a desk the entire day. We currently have lap desks, cushions for the carpet, kidney tables with regular stools, and another group work table with regular chairs. I think they would greatly benefit from having additional flexible seating at the group work table that would incentivize them to work with other people. They have a hard time sitting down and staying focused for long periods of time, which the wobble cushions would help with during whole group lessons. I believe that by having these items added to my classroom my students would be able to work better and achieve more!
