Flexible Seating Options

Help me give my students more choices for seating in the classroom while doing centers with floor cushions and stacking stools.

My Project

Flexible seating allows students to take charge of their learning and make the choices that work best for them. My students would love to have these cushions to sit on when doing independent work or reading centers. I love giving them the option to sit where they feel most comfortable to learn and these would provide even more comfort.

When students are comfortable, they are more engaged and excited to learn!

The stools would also be used during center time at my kidney table while I work with students in small groups.
