These materials will allow my students to have a choice about where they work best instead of at a traditional desk and chair. Having this project funding will allow my students to take control of their own learning, which will consequently allow them to better concentrate and stay focused on their assignments. The Hokki Stools will help strengthen and build my students' muscles, while allowing them to stay focused and get their energy out. The Sit and Stand Desks will allow the students who prefer to stand and learn to do so standing up straight and not hunched over. The Go Anywhere Chairs will allow my students to work in small groups around the classroom with a more comfortable seating option than the floor that also offers back support. This project getting funded will allow my students to take charge of their learning environment while staying focused.
