My Project

I wish when I was in elementary school I had flexible seating. I had a hard time being still and sitting correctly. My classroom now has multiple types of flexible seating, but now I would like it for my small group table.

Small group time is essential in Kindergarten.

Small group time is a time where I can work with groups of 4 or 5 students to give them an individualized learning experience. Working with others that are on your learning level gives all my students a boost of confidence.

My small group table is currently located on the ground. I would like to provide flexible seating for my small group table so that my students can still learn while wiggling and fidgeting.
