My students need the floor seats to allow maximum movement throughout their studious hours. The storage boxes are to store what would have gone in their desks. I've seen the floor seats work wonders.

Celebrating Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month
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.
I work with a diverse group of primary elementary students. My students are learning two languages regardless of their primary home language. For some of my students getting to choose how they sit in the classroom will be the first time they are stakeholders in their classroom. This year I have fun loving, happy and definitely wiggly students.
I know they would thrive in a seating arrangement where they are not required to sit in traditional chairs all day.
Currently, my students take advantage of my flexibility in deciding where they work. Most grab the clipboards I brought to my class and spread out where they feel most comfortable.
My Project
My classroom is a space where my primary students come to learn two languages. My 7 and 8 year olds come from a mixture of cultures and socioeconomic backgrounds. Please help me convert my classroom into the 2018 innovative space my students need to match their needs. Studies show sitting for long periods of time is not good at ANY age.
With alternative seating students will be able to wiggle and get comfortable without getting distracted or distracting others.
I would like to have storage bins so students can have a place to store their materials since we don't use desks. I would also like to have these floors seats because it allows them to have a seat on the floor. I have seen students use these where they can really move. They are not restrictive as the other traditional chairs. I have purchased lap desks they can use with these chairs.
