My Project

Some of us just can't sit still and need an outlet for excess energy. Some need a way to move and fidget to help improve focus and be more productive in the classroom. Sensory tools promote active learning. These BouncyBand Sit & Twist Active Seat Cushions will provide my students with a quiet, active seating option.

This sensory tool can make any chair in the classroom turn into a comfy swivel chair enabling my students to twist and turn while they work and learn.

These cushions will be another option for my students in my flexible seating classroom.
