My Project

My kindergarten seating has seen it’s better days. Our small group seating has become worn and we are in desperate need of new seats that are safe and flexible to meet the needs of our students. My kindergarteners love to learn. Recently, they asked for seating that would help them feel comfortable as they learn in small groups. I have opted for flexible seating. The benefits to flexible seating are allowing children to rock and wobble which increases the blood flow to a child’s brain. This will allow my students to be more alert and focused.
