The Kids Kore wobble chairs, wobble cushions, and floor seats will give my students more opportunities to take control of their learning! How, you might ask? They will have the ability to choose where they want to work and more importantly, how they want to work! Giving my students a choice of where and what to sit on also helps them to focus on the content we are learning about while also getting some wiggles out! 90 minutes is a long time to be sitting and learning, especially at seven years old! These seating options will allow learning to be more fun and will also allow my students to use their energy in a positive way! I know I work better when I sit on the floor; I want my students to have the same opportunity to pick seating that works best for them and best for their learning! These items will go a long way because not only will they benefit my students this year, but also future students in the years to come. Flexible seating will truly help us focus this year and will give my students the chance to take control of their learning. Thank you for taking the time to read through my project; I greatly appreciate it.
