It helps our Smart TV to be more mobile and gives us more options for various lessons. It also helps us to save valuable time by allowing us to already have all the equipment where it needs to be regardless of the lesson. Just last week, we were able to do a nutrition activity using our TV to help the students better understand how to sort food into different categories based off the My Plate model. Being able to move the TV allowed the students to have more activity time to reinforce the lesson.\r\n\r\nWe used to be limited on where we could use the TV.

These seats give them a designated space where they can sit, focus, and fully engage in our lessons together. Having their own spot helps them feel secure and encourages participation in class discussions.\r\n\r\nThey also use the seating during independent reading time, which has created a more inviting and cozy environment for learning. The students look forward to picking up a book and settling into their seats, which helps foster a love of reading at an early age.
