My Project

My student are often on the go and need to keep moving. By having flexible seating it will help them get the wobble, rock and bounce they need to get their assignments done. Often times my students do not like sitting in chairs, they would rather be on the floor working or walking around the classroom. It is hard for them to focus at times and the flexible seating can help improve focus by getting the movement that they need.

By donating, you will not only help to improve and increase student attention and focus, you will ultimately help to increase their academic achievement with being able to wobble, rock and bounce!

There are many benefits for students that use flexible seating. One of the benefits of flexible seating in students are getting sensory input that they need. It also allows them to have the choice of what seat they want to sit on to learn. Allowing students to have choices helps them feel like they have some control over their learning. Lastly, flexible seating helps with physical health as well. It is said that physical activity is linked to higher academic performance, better health, and improved behavior.
