Adults love to be comfortable when they are working. We work best when we are comfortable. The same thing goes for kids! Sitting in hard plastic chairs for 7-8 hours a day is not comfortable at all! Children need to be comfortable in order to do their best work. That is where flexible seating comes into play!
My classroom has students from a variety of backgrounds (ethnic, social, religious, etc.).
My students are energetic, enthusiastic, and curious children. They love to learn and explore in our classroom!
My Project
The materials in this project will help support my student's learning because they will provide extra choices for where they complete their work, other than an uncomfortable plastic chair. The materials will also give my energetic, jittery kids some options to help them focus (like the bouncy bands). I also have some kids who prefer to sit on the floor and do their work, but it is uncomfortable.
If my kids had these materials and flexible seating options, they would be more focused and engaged in their learning!
Children in kindergarten already have a short attention span. So, I want to help make that time more meaningful by catering to what they need! I currently have some flexible seating options like scoop chairs and they fight over who gets to use them. I want to have more options for my students.
