My Students

Students need to be "turned on" to learning in our global world today. 21st century learners need flexible seating arrangements to be comfortable and engaged throughout the entire day. I am working as diligently as I can to help turn my classroom into a "home away from home" environment. Comfortable chairs, alternative seating, natural lighting. My classroom has a cowboy theme: a saddle seat, movable "tractor" stools", cushions, cowboy hats and more!

I desire to offer my students another way to sit and learn:

Buoy stools

Students need alternative seating other than the traditional "Desk chair", are very hard. These alternative seats help learners focus.

My Project

Students need the opportunity to sit comfortably and learn in a relaxed and supportive environment. Stools allow students to sit comfortably while learning.

Buoy stools by Steelcase will give them not only the opportunity to site comfortably in my classroom but these stools will help strengthen their core and increase their level of awareness and engagement in the classroom.

I have flexible seating classroom BUT the Buoy Stools by Steelcase will be the best additions to my room. Easy to sit on, focus, and engage in classroom learning with these comfortable stools.

They will be a perfect addition to my class!
