Celebrate Black Teachers and Students

This project is part of the Black History Month celebration because it supports a Black teacher or a school where the majority of the students are Black.

My Project

I am excited to share my vision for transforming my classroom into a more dynamic and comfortable learning space for my students. For far too long, we've relied on the traditional four-legged chair, and now I want to offer a variety of seating options that cater to individual comfort preferences.

Recognizing the natural need for movement in children, I am introducing the padded stool.

Stools provide students with a comfortable and adjustable seating option that allows them to easily move around. Many young children also lack core and trunk strength. Weak core muscles make it hard for kids to pay attention. If they don’t have strong muscles to sit upright, they spend a lot of time re-positioning their bodies as they try to learn and attend. The padded stool will not only provide a different seating option but help to improve core strength which helps with seated posture.

Moreover, flexible seating options have proven to be highly beneficial for students with ADHD and other disorders. By providing them the opportunity to move while staying in place, we can create a more inclusive and supportive learning environment. This approach not only accommodates their needs but also enhances their focus and engagement.
