I am a special education teacher that understands the importance of providing my students with the materials they need to focus and to help them improve. Many times, my students and I do not like to work at the student desks for various reasons. Many of the student’s desks vary in height which makes it difficult to work side by side. Also, some of the desk are very large which makes it difficult to navigate around. With my students being 2nd graders, they like to be closer to each other because it helps them share their ideas with each other, sometimes when they are far apart it is hard to hear each other. If we receive this small work space bundle, my students and I will have the opportunity to work on a flat table surface rather than the floor. This will only help enhance their learning abilities. Flexible seating fosters thinking and allowing students to be comfortable while working. They can place these handy cushions on the floor or on a chair, for flexible seating anywhere. These chairs and cushions are designed to let students wiggle and wobble while they sit…helping children focus as they move. Also, my students will be able to use the work space bundle chairs for independent and cool downs options. Sometimes just being able to take a wobble chair, a cushion, or a different seat allows my students to feel like they are independent and can decide what their best learning style is!
