Please help me give my students a flexible seating option that will meet the needs of their learning styles. Students need and engaging and exciting space to learn and grow. Not everyone learns positioned in a stiff chair at a hard, uncomfortable desk. Working while sitting on a beanbag chair or a wobble stool will make a child feel comfortable and grounded; focused on their task. For many of my students, our classroom is more of a "home" than the place where they reside so. I want them to be safe, comfortable, and excited to be in school. Unfortunately some students come from difficult situations. School is their safe-place so let's make it awesome!
