My Project
My students need a variety of seating options to create an engaging environment that will support their diverse needs.
Each year my students show a great amount of enthusiasm for learning.
Their excitement for learning is exhibited daily, as is their support for their peers.
Seeing my students continue to grow in their learning is amazing! Many students are facing several challenges both in and out of the classroom. We strive to make school an enjoyable experience where all students feel safe and engaged.
Flexible seating allows students to take charge of their learning and make the choices that work best for them. During independent work time students may choose a flexible seat that works for them. Some students choose to work standing, sitting under tables or sitting or laying on the floor with a clip board. Making sure students are comfortable is an essential component in motivating them. I have noticed amazing differences in my students when they are given a choice in their seating. They almost always make good choices about where they sit, are more engaged, and get more work completed than when they are just sitting at their desk. My students are noticeably more engaged in their work and less disruptive of their peers when they are given a choice of where to work.
The stools, lap desks, and wiggle seats that I have selected will help my students by giving them additional seating options to make more effective learning choices and allow students to have movement. It is extremely beneficial for some students to get the wiggles out. These products can also be used as an alternative chair if needed!
I have seen how choice can positively affect students’ work and demeanor and hope that the additional options will help us grow even more!
