My Project
These comfy bean bag chairs will afford my 2nd graders the ability to have flexible seating. When students are given a choice in their seating, they seem to be more motivated to do their work. During independent work time they can choose a location that is comfortable for them and will cause the least amount of distraction. Students love to have a special place in the classroom to read, write or take a quiet moment to calm themselves.
2nd graders love to move around the classroom.
I have noticed that when my students are given the choice of where to sit, they are more engaged in their work and less disruptive to other students. They get more work completed when they are comfortable and feel like they have some control of their environment.
My students also tend to have some big emotions at times. I have a quiet corner in my classroom for students to self soothe and take a break from the rest of the class. These comfortable bean bags will give students a place to sit in comfort while they quietly learn to control their emotions.
The carts will allow student to carry their lunch bags and water bottles to the cafeteria with ease.
