My Project
We have such an amazing group of students this year, and some of these kids could really benefit from some flexible seating. We would love your help in adding some comfortable and flexible seating for our 5th grade class. When we change up our seats, students are able to rest, get comfortable, and focus on learning, rather than how tired they are being stuck in a chair.
Flexible seating allows students to take charge of their learning and make the choices that work best for them, especially since they know themselves best.
During independent work times they choose a location in the classroom that works for them. Currently my students are choosing to work in a variety of locations in our room such as: at different tables, sitting under tables with clip boards, or sitting or laying on the floor with a clip board. Making sure students are comfortable is an essential component in motivating them. They almost always make good choices about where they sit, are more engaged, and get more work completed than when they are just sitting at their desk.
My students are noticeably more engaged in their work and less disruptive of their peers when they are given a choice of where to work.
The products that I have selected will help my students by giving them additional seating options to make more effective learning choices.
