My Project

In our classroom, creating an effective learning environment is essential for student success. Currently, many of my students are sitting on the floor during lessons, which limits their ability to see the board and engage with the material. To address this issue, we are in need of surf chairs—innovative seating that allows students to sit comfortably while ensuring they have a clear view of the board. We are seeking your support to make this improvement a reality.

One of the primary challenges of having students seated on the floor is visibility.

When students are unable to see the board clearly, they miss crucial information, making it difficult for them to follow along with lessons. This lack of visibility can lead to frustration and disengagement. Surf chairs would provide a simple, yet, effective solution, allowing students to elevate their seating and easily see the board. This small change can have a significant impact on their learning experience.

Furthermore, comfort plays a critical role in student focus and participation. Sitting on the floor for extended periods can be uncomfortable and distracting. Surf chairs offer a supportive and ergonomic design that encourages students to sit up straight, improving their posture and concentration. When students are comfortable, they are more likely to engage actively in discussions, ask questions, and participate in collaborative activities. This enhances their overall learning experience and helps foster a positive classroom environment.
