My Project

Engagement is important in all classrooms and by adding flexible seating, we can support student learning in a positive way.

Students love to work around the classroom collaboratively to complete assignments and projects.

The addition of floor cushions, kick bands, and lap desks will support students while they work around the classroom. These tools can be used across all content areas and during every subject.

When kids are comfortable, listening is easier and there is less focus on how uncomfortable a desk can be. Students strive to work collaboratively and help each other.
