One of the most effective ways we promote student regulation and learning is through the use of strategic and flexible seating options. Many of our students benefit from opportunities for movement to support their sensory and energy needs; however, we also recognize that movement must be balanced with meaningful instructional time. Flexible seating allows us to thoughtfully meet both needs.\r\n\r\nWith explicit expectations and consistent routines in place, students are able to develop autonomy by selecting seating options that best support their ability to learn productively. Thanks to your generous donation, our classroom now has access to a variety of flexible seating options. These include wobble feet attachments that transform standard chairs into movement-friendly seating, as well as adjustable wobble stools that provide opportunities for greater whole-body movement while students engage in learning.\r\n\r\nWhen students learned that we would be receiving new flexible seating options, they were overjoyed. Access to a variety of seating choices allows each student to select what works best for them during independent work, small-group instruction, and whole-group lessons. These options support students in regulating their bodies through gentle movement, helping them remain engaged in their learning throughout the classroom.\r\n\r\nCurrently, our class is beginning a new reading unit in which students gather as a whole group to read *Treasure Island* by Robert Louis Stevenson. During this unit, students are asked to sit for extended periods while listening to chapters, participating in discussions, and completing related activities. Flexible seating plays a critical role in supporting student engagement during these times by promoting both physical and cognitive regulation through appropriate movement.","fullyFundedDate":1760303120638,"projectUrl":"project/flexible-seating-for-special-education-s/9816100/","projectTitle":"Flexible Seating for Special Education Students","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Lunsford","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-9_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/10308336"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_70310","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":613,"numTeachers":39,"percentFrplEligible":61,"percentAsian":1,"percentBlack":20,"percentWhite":59,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":8,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"4 - 5","studentTeacherRatio":"15.7:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"RURAL","ncesMetroType":"RURAL_FRINGE"},"inStateSupporters":75.0,"schoolId":70310,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Lake Forest Central Elementary School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Lake Forest Central Elementary School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/delaware/lake-forest-school-district/lake-forest-central-elementary-school/70310"}
