Students are using the lap desks and floor chairs daily during math and science lessons. During a recent math test, students used the lap desks and floor chairs to work comfortably on the ground. The seating choices helped students stay focused, feel comfortable, and remain engaged for longer periods of time.\r\n\r\nWhen students first saw the materials, their excitement was immediate and genuine. They couldn't wait to try out the different seating options and were eager to find the spot that worked best for them. Students quickly began reflecting on where they could concentrate best or collaborate more easily, rather than choosing a seat just because it looked fun.\r\n\r\nBecause of these new resources, students are taking greater ownership of their learning. As we move forward, students will continue using the flexible seating during hands-on science investigations, group projects, and independent work time. We are currently working on lessons that require discussion, note-taking, and problem-solving, and students are able to choose seating that supports their learning goals for each task.
