This project is a part of the Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month celebration because
it supports a Latino teacher or a school where the majority of students are Latino.
My Project
Flexible seating allows students to take ownership of their learning by offering choice, comfort, and movement, which directly supports focus and engagement. The items selected, adjustable wobble stools, floor cushions, wave seats, 10-position reclining cushions, and kid stools, are all designed to meet a range of learning needs and preferences.
Adjustable wobble stools help students who benefit from subtle movement during tasks.
This controlled motion increases attention, especially for learners with ADHD or sensory needs. Floor cushions and kid stools offer alternatives to traditional desks and chairs, promoting a more inclusive classroom where students can learn in a way that best suits them. These options reduce physical discomfort and allow students to feel more relaxed, making them more receptive to instruction.
The wave seat and 10-position reclining cushion are ideal for independent reading, group work, or quiet reflection. They support posture and provide back support, creating a cozy environment that encourages sustained focus and a love for learning.
Overall, flexible seating empowers students by offering autonomy, reducing anxiety, and supporting physical and emotional needs. It creates a dynamic, student-centered classroom where learners feel safe, supported, and ready to engage. This environment leads to improved behavior, stronger academic performance, and a deeper connection to the learning process.
