Welcome, Please Choose Your Seat!

Help me give my students varied seating options to support their individual learning styles and to offer a calming, cozier area to relax when they need it most.

My Project

Flexible seating options allows students to take charge of their learning and make the choices that work best for them. Currently my students are sitting in traditional student chairs or on previously purchased yoga balls, or sitting or laying on the floor with a clip board. Making sure students are comfortable is an essential component in motivating them. I have noticed amazing differences in my students when they are given a choice in their seating, which is somewhat limited at this moment. They almost always make good choices about where they sit, are more engaged, and get more work completed than when they are just sitting at their desk.

My students are noticeably more engaged in their work and less disruptive of their peers when they are given a choice of where to work.

The products that I have selected will help my students by giving them additional seating options to make more effective learning choices. The wobble stools are adjustable and will allow students to sit at desk/higher tables but will still allow some movement. These will be extremely beneficial for some students that just need to get the wiggles out. They can also be used as an alternative chair if needed! The comfy floor seats, the beanbag chair, and rug will allow for additional comfortable floor seating options to read or work on group projects with classmates. They are lightweight and can be easily used in many areas of the classroom.

I have seen how choice can positively affect my students work and demeanor and hope that the additional options will help us grow even more!
