We are hoping for some additional flexible seating options for our Special Education and General Education Students, in the hopes that their comfort will lead them to be more successful students. Even as grown ups, it is difficult to remain seated for 6 hours a day - how on Earth can we expect 6 and 7 year olds to do so! We have introduced the concept of flexible seating to our students as they do their independent and group work. The idea is that all of us learn differently, and we will all be more productive if we are in an environment that is comfortable for us. Many students work well while sitting on a stool, leaning on a standing desk, and while working their core while sitting atop an excercise ball. Through using DonorsChoose, we are hoping to expand our seating options to allow our students even more flexibility!
