My Project

My fourth-grade students love these compact, comfortable and portable floor seats. These cushioned chairs are used throughout the day in all subjects. .

This flexible seating option allows them to move around the room and work in a more comfortable space during small groups and collaborative work.

The possibilities are endless for this alternative seating option, including small group, indoor recess, centers, etc. Movement is critical during the day. Having good seating options is important for stamina. I appreciate that they are also easy to clean and they can be stored flat.
