My Project

Flexible seating allows my students to engage more during lessons and make better choices throughout the day. During our large group time, our students love to jump up and down and dance while participating in music and movement. Our classroom is currently utilizing individual carpet squares which can sometimes be dangerous and can also cause distractions while teaching if a student decides to switch to a different spot on the floor. Having a classroom carpet big enough for us all would give my students and I the opportunity to safely and comfortably dance and learn new things together everyday.
